00:11.360 --> 00:13.920
Hello and welcome to CNN 10. I'm Ky Wire

00:13.920 --> 00:15.759
with your news for Thursday, August

00:15.759 --> 00:18.080
14th. First, a random thought Thursday

00:18.080 --> 00:20.080
for you. Why is it that when we have

00:20.080 --> 00:22.560
more than one goose, we call them geese,

00:22.560 --> 00:25.119
but more than one moose isn't me. The

00:25.119 --> 00:27.439
plural is still moose. And a group of

00:27.439 --> 00:29.679
squids is called a schol. Shouldn't a

00:29.679 --> 00:31.840
group of squids be called a squad? The

00:31.840 --> 00:33.760
collective nouns can be confusing.

00:33.760 --> 00:35.680
Without further ado, your 10 minutes of

00:35.680 --> 00:38.480
news starts now. Big news for those of

00:38.480 --> 00:40.160
you with college applications on the

00:40.160 --> 00:42.399
horizon. The free application for

00:42.399 --> 00:45.200
federal student aid or FAFSA has opened

00:45.200 --> 00:47.360
early. The Department of Education says

00:47.360 --> 00:49.760
a small number of beta testers can now

00:49.760 --> 00:52.000
access the application. And if you

00:52.000 --> 00:54.559
can't, no worries. It will be available

00:54.559 --> 00:57.199
to everyone starting October 1st. For

00:57.199 --> 00:58.800
those of you that need a FAFSA

00:58.800 --> 01:01.520
refresher, we got you covered. The FAFSA

01:01.520 --> 01:03.680
uses your family's financial information

01:03.680 --> 01:05.199
to determine how much government

01:05.199 --> 01:07.680
financial aid you may qualify for to

01:07.680 --> 01:10.159
attend college. It's sent to any schools

01:10.159 --> 01:12.320
you're interested in attending so they

01:12.320 --> 01:14.479
can calculate how much aid you could

01:14.479 --> 01:16.720
receive. Still not sure if you need one?

01:16.720 --> 01:18.799
The Department of Education says anyone

01:18.799 --> 01:20.799
planning on attending college should

01:20.799 --> 01:23.200
fill one out since it helps determine if

01:23.200 --> 01:26.080
you qualify for other aid programs. Lots

01:26.080 --> 01:27.520
of students and families were making a

01:27.520 --> 01:29.040
mistake early on in their college

01:29.040 --> 01:31.280
research. And this mistake was crossing

01:31.280 --> 01:33.360
an expensive school off of their list of

01:33.360 --> 01:35.840
consideration early on without following

01:35.840 --> 01:37.200
through and finding out how much

01:37.200 --> 01:38.880
financial aid that school is actually

01:38.880 --> 01:40.880
giving out. If this sounds like a lot to

01:40.880 --> 01:43.520
keep track of, no worries. You can head

01:43.520 --> 01:45.680
to studentaid.gov to create a profile

01:45.680 --> 01:48.240
and get started as early as today. And

01:48.240 --> 01:50.079
while the final deadline isn't until

01:50.079 --> 01:52.560
June of next year, many states encourage

01:52.560 --> 01:55.280
youth to apply as early as possible. An

01:55.280 --> 01:57.200
unprecedented wildfire season is

01:57.200 --> 01:59.119
continuing to thrash Europe, and there

01:59.119 --> 02:00.880
doesn't appear to be any relief in sight

02:00.880 --> 02:02.560
for the world's fastest warming

02:02.560 --> 02:04.960
continent. Record heat and droughts have

02:04.960 --> 02:06.640
helped fuel the blazes across the

02:06.640 --> 02:09.360
continent. More than 2200 firefighters

02:09.360 --> 02:10.959
have been deployed across Spain and

02:10.959 --> 02:12.959
Portugal, where temperatures are also

02:12.959 --> 02:15.280
expected to be well above 100°

02:15.280 --> 02:17.680
Fahrenheit in the coming days. And it's

02:17.680 --> 02:19.760
not just the Iberian Peninsula. Dozens

02:19.760 --> 02:22.080
of fires are raging across Italy,

02:22.080 --> 02:24.080
France, and parts of the Balkans,

02:24.080 --> 02:26.160
prompting evacuations, threatening

02:26.160 --> 02:28.160
landmarks, and claiming at least one

02:28.160 --> 02:30.080
life. Officials say the fires have

02:30.080 --> 02:32.480
burned through nearly 2.4 million acres

02:32.480 --> 02:35.680
so far this year, putting 2025 on pace

02:35.680 --> 02:37.519
to be the most expansive European

02:37.519 --> 02:40.319
wildfire season to date. Scientists also

02:40.319 --> 02:42.400
warned that as the human-caused climate

02:42.400 --> 02:45.200
crisis escalates, these wildfires will

02:45.200 --> 02:49.200
only become more frequent and severe.

02:49.200 --> 02:51.599
10 second trivia. Which city is home to

02:51.599 --> 02:53.599
the fastest operational train in the

02:53.599 --> 02:56.160
world? Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, or

02:56.160 --> 02:59.160
Sydney?

03:00.720 --> 03:03.599
All aboard. The fastest train in the

03:03.599 --> 03:06.000
world is the Shanghai Mag Lev. The

03:06.000 --> 03:08.000
transrapid commercial train travels at

03:08.000 --> 03:11.280
approximately 286 mph using

03:11.280 --> 03:14.000
electromagnetic propulsion. They rarely

03:14.000 --> 03:16.400
even touch the tracks. The Shanghai Mag

03:16.400 --> 03:18.879
Lev can covid-19 miles in less than

03:18.879 --> 03:21.040
eight minutes.

03:21.040 --> 03:23.040
Two of America's largest railroad

03:23.040 --> 03:25.200
companies, Union Pacific and Norfolk

03:25.200 --> 03:27.440
Southern, just announced a mega proposal

03:27.440 --> 03:29.040
to create America's first

03:29.040 --> 03:31.519
transcontinental freight railroad.

03:31.519 --> 03:33.360
Railroads are crucial to America's

03:33.360 --> 03:35.440
economy, carrying about 30% of the

03:35.440 --> 03:37.680
nation's freight in terms of weight.

03:37.680 --> 03:40.480
Trains transport cars, retail goods,

03:40.480 --> 03:43.120
food and energy products, as well as raw

03:43.120 --> 03:45.120
materials and parts needed to run many

03:45.120 --> 03:47.680
factories. Transcontinental rail service

03:47.680 --> 03:49.599
for people or travelers has been

03:49.599 --> 03:52.080
available since 1869, right after the

03:52.080 --> 03:54.480
end of the Civil War. But moving goods

03:54.480 --> 03:56.319
or freight cross country has always

03:56.319 --> 03:58.480
required they be handed off from one

03:58.480 --> 04:01.200
railroad to another. In theory, this

04:01.200 --> 04:03.760
plan would allow stuff to get sent on a

04:03.760 --> 04:05.599
train all the way from the port of Los

04:05.599 --> 04:08.000
Angeles to the ports in New England more

04:08.000 --> 04:10.159
efficiently and cut down on emissions

04:10.159 --> 04:12.480
because fewer goods would be shipped in

04:12.480 --> 04:14.879
18-wheelers. Still, experts say the

04:14.879 --> 04:17.120
merger could take months, if not years,

04:17.120 --> 04:20.720
for the deal to close. Meet Wavy Dave, a

04:20.720 --> 04:23.120
robotic fiddler crab built to mimic the

04:23.120 --> 04:25.199
weird and wonderful ways these crabs

04:25.199 --> 04:27.680
flirt. Scientists are studying which

04:27.680 --> 04:30.160
claw waving moves make female crabs

04:30.160 --> 04:32.639
swoon. And Dave's got some shellberty

04:32.639 --> 04:34.800
type of swagger. As you can see, it's a

04:34.800 --> 04:37.199
pinch of science, a wave of technology,

04:37.199 --> 04:39.360
and maybe even a little captivating

04:39.360 --> 04:42.320
courtship. Our Shannon Hodgej has more.

04:42.320 --> 04:46.479
>> It's crab versus machine.

04:46.479 --> 04:48.320
As researchers at the University of

04:48.320 --> 04:52.000
Exiter built this robot dubbed Wavy Dave

04:52.000 --> 04:54.400
to study how male fiddler crabs compete

04:54.400 --> 04:56.639
for female attention, scientists placed

04:56.639 --> 04:58.639
Wavy Dave on a mudflat teameming with

04:58.639 --> 05:01.040
thousands of crabs and gave the robot

05:01.040 --> 05:03.840
claws of varying sizes to wave near a

05:03.840 --> 05:06.560
real male's burrow. I was very surprised

05:06.560 --> 05:09.120
at how they reacted because the

05:09.120 --> 05:11.520
pessimist in me thought they won't see

05:11.520 --> 05:14.240
this as as a as a crab that you know

05:14.240 --> 05:15.919
they'll see through it that we're

05:15.919 --> 05:17.680
essentially trying to pull a magic trick

05:17.680 --> 05:20.720
on them and I didn't think that it would

05:20.720 --> 05:21.440
work.

05:21.440 --> 05:23.600
>> Cameras captured how the crabs adapted,

05:23.600 --> 05:25.680
finding that the males abandoned their

05:25.680 --> 05:28.000
normal routines and continued waving

05:28.000 --> 05:30.320
their massive claw to compete with the

05:30.320 --> 05:32.639
robot. adapting your strategy and kind

05:32.639 --> 05:34.720
of rolling with the punches. That's not

05:34.720 --> 05:36.479
something that's special to humans.

05:36.479 --> 05:38.479
>> While some males were less likely to

05:38.479 --> 05:41.280
compete when a rival had a larger claw,

05:41.280 --> 05:43.280
others would not back down from this

05:43.280 --> 05:44.560
robotic intruder.

05:44.560 --> 05:46.320
>> The fight between the fiddle crab and

05:46.320 --> 05:48.560
wavy Dave, I wasn't expecting it when

05:48.560 --> 05:50.479
the individual did manage to break the

05:50.479 --> 05:52.000
claw off. I thought it wouldn't be

05:52.000 --> 05:53.520
strong enough. That just goes to show

05:53.520 --> 05:55.680
that you should never um you should

05:55.680 --> 05:57.039
never try and predict what's going to

05:57.039 --> 05:59.039
happen when you're working with animals.

05:59.039 --> 06:01.600
We went on some CNN 10 field trips this

06:01.600 --> 06:03.600
summer. One town making the list, Las

06:03.600 --> 06:06.000
Cusus, New Mexico. Beware, this report

06:06.000 --> 06:07.680
might make you hungry. This laid-back

06:07.680 --> 06:09.600
town is famous for one of their iconic

06:09.600 --> 06:11.600
foods that's part of centuries old

06:11.600 --> 06:13.600
traditions. Let's check out the unique

06:13.600 --> 06:15.759
blend of captivating sites, cultures,

06:15.759 --> 06:17.759
and cuisine that made New Mexico's

06:17.759 --> 06:19.759
second largest city one of CNN's

06:19.759 --> 06:24.000
America's best towns to visit.

06:24.000 --> 06:27.840
Southwest cuisine is the mix of Native

06:27.840 --> 06:31.360
American culture and Spanish culture and

06:31.360 --> 06:32.960
whatever is growing around you at the

06:32.960 --> 06:33.440
time.

06:33.440 --> 06:36.080
>> In Las Cuses, New Mexico, southwestern

06:36.080 --> 06:38.319
cuisine has evolved over hundreds of

06:38.319 --> 06:41.440
years. Chef Ruiz Gonzalez grew up on the

06:41.440 --> 06:43.840
food here in the Messia Valley. Now he

06:43.840 --> 06:46.000
honors the region's evolving culinary

06:46.000 --> 06:49.199
traditions in his own cooking. So as

06:49.199 --> 06:52.479
people move through the city, they leave

06:52.479 --> 06:55.039
their spices behind. They leave their

06:55.039 --> 06:58.960
traditions behind and the food builds on

06:58.960 --> 07:01.759
that. This is where a lot of that

07:01.759 --> 07:05.120
mestisake, that mixing of of cultures

07:05.120 --> 07:07.520
happened in this area. So that's why the

07:07.520 --> 07:11.360
food is so good.

07:11.360 --> 07:13.919
>> It was time to spread my culinary wings.

07:13.919 --> 07:16.080
Our first stop, the James Beard

07:16.080 --> 07:20.400
nominated Chopes. This is my first time

07:20.400 --> 07:24.479
trying chili rienos. I am tasting

07:24.479 --> 07:28.000
history right now. Here we go.

07:28.000 --> 07:31.240
>> That's it.

07:32.160 --> 07:33.199
>> It's so good.

07:33.199 --> 07:34.960
>> The Hatch green chili really takes

07:34.960 --> 07:37.759
center stage in Southwest cuisine. It's

07:37.759 --> 07:39.039
the star of the show.

07:39.039 --> 07:41.440
>> And these chiles didn't travel far. They

07:41.440 --> 07:43.759
grew up right up the road in the town of

07:43.759 --> 07:46.080
Hatch. The food alone is enough to make

07:46.080 --> 07:49.280
the trip worth it. But if you ever find

07:49.280 --> 07:51.360
yourself in Las Cruus, New Mexico, at

07:51.360 --> 07:52.880
the top of your list has to be White

07:52.880 --> 07:57.360
Sands National Park. 275 square miles of

07:57.360 --> 07:59.280
gypsum dune fields. It's the largest of

07:59.280 --> 08:02.319
its kind in the entire world. This stuff

08:02.319 --> 08:05.280
is magnificent. You really feel a sense

08:05.280 --> 08:08.000
of peace sitting on the dunes. And maybe

08:08.000 --> 08:10.720
that's the draw for Las Crues. Natural

08:10.720 --> 08:14.080
beauty and a quiet, calm pace of life.

08:14.080 --> 08:17.910
Oh, and really great chili reenos.

08:17.910 --> 08:22.319
[Applause]

08:22.319 --> 08:24.080
>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

08:24.080 --> 08:26.560
Girl power meets power tools. Girl

08:26.560 --> 08:29.199
Scouts at Minnesota's Camp Lacamaga

08:29.199 --> 08:31.120
participated in the fourth annual camp

08:31.120 --> 08:33.279
called Power Girls where they partnered

08:33.279 --> 08:35.519
with professional trades women to break

08:35.519 --> 08:38.000
down barriers and build a brand new mini

08:38.000 --> 08:40.000
golf course from the ground up. The

08:40.000 --> 08:42.399
annual camp aims to break stereotypes

08:42.399 --> 08:44.640
and give girls some valuable firsthand

08:44.640 --> 08:46.720
experience with the trades. The girls

08:46.720 --> 08:48.399
not only learned how to handle some

08:48.399 --> 08:50.480
serious power tools, they also learned

08:50.480 --> 08:52.959
the value of planning, perseverance, and

08:52.959 --> 08:55.279
that with the right mindset, anything is

08:55.279 --> 08:56.080
possible.

08:56.080 --> 08:58.959
>> All women. Like there's only probably

08:58.959 --> 09:02.320
one male in here. So that shows that

09:02.320 --> 09:05.120
women can power anything. It's kind of

09:05.120 --> 09:07.600
really scary cuz you can take a risk

09:07.600 --> 09:09.440
that you wouldn't really like usually

09:09.440 --> 09:13.519
do. It like really shows that any gender

09:13.519 --> 09:16.560
could do anything and that

09:16.560 --> 09:18.800
we're all powerful and we can all do

09:18.800 --> 09:20.080
something that's out of our comfort

09:20.080 --> 09:20.640
zone.

09:20.640 --> 09:22.320
>> All right, superstars. Time for some

09:22.320 --> 09:23.839
shout outs now. This one goes to Miss

09:23.839 --> 09:26.800
Guza, Miss Lone, Miss Holiday, and Mr.

09:26.800 --> 09:29.440
Crier from Alma Middle School in Alma,

09:29.440 --> 09:32.640
New Mexico. Your classes handk knit this

09:32.640 --> 09:35.680
hat. Hatastic. You put a the cap in

09:35.680 --> 09:37.760
captivating. Can't wait to rock this all

09:37.760 --> 09:40.320
fall. And from our YouTube subscribers

09:40.320 --> 09:42.480
in our comment section, John W. Moore

09:42.480 --> 09:43.839
Middle School in Florence, South

09:43.839 --> 09:46.240
Carolina. Rise up. Thank you for

09:46.240 --> 09:48.320
watching us each day. All right, I have

09:48.320 --> 09:50.000
an important announcement from all of us

09:50.000 --> 09:52.640
here at CNN 10 headquarters, a new

09:52.640 --> 09:56.000
simplified website, CNN10.com.

09:56.000 --> 09:57.920
So, if you have our old address

09:57.920 --> 09:59.680
bookmarked, it's slightly different. Be

09:59.680 --> 10:02.399
sure to update it to simply CNN10.com.

10:02.399 --> 10:04.160
And of course, you can always catch us

10:04.160 --> 10:06.399
on YouTube. Happy Friday Eve, everyone.

10:06.399 --> 10:07.760
We'll see you right back here tomorrow.

10:07.760 --> 10:12.839
I'm Ky Wire and we are CNN 10.
