[Music]

00:11.519 --> 00:13.519
What's up, sunshine? It's time to shine.

00:13.519 --> 00:15.440
Koi wire here with the daily 10 minutes

00:15.440 --> 00:17.840
of news. And welcome back to our wall of

00:17.840 --> 00:20.480
friends, which got a spooktacular glow

00:20.480 --> 00:22.640
up. Our news associate, Sabrina, taking

00:22.640 --> 00:25.519
some of your incredible art and swag and

00:25.519 --> 00:28.400
showing it off to the world. like this.

00:28.400 --> 00:30.320
Miss Webster's class at Riverview High

00:30.320 --> 00:34.559
School in Warsaw, Ohio. Magnificent. And

00:34.559 --> 00:36.559
this is pretty special. Miss Packingham

00:36.559 --> 00:38.879
at Andover High School in Andover,

00:38.879 --> 00:40.719
Minnesota. She sent me this notebook

00:40.719 --> 00:42.719
from one of our amazing students, Jack.

00:42.719 --> 00:45.680
He created illustrations about every CNN

00:45.680 --> 00:47.840
10 episode that he watched during the

00:47.840 --> 00:49.840
school year. Amazing stuff. And

00:49.840 --> 00:51.280
remember, today's Your Word Wednesday,

00:51.280 --> 00:53.199
so listen up to see if the vocab word

00:53.199 --> 00:54.960
you submitted helped us write today's

00:54.960 --> 00:57.280
show. Let's get to it. We start with an

00:57.280 --> 00:59.280
update on the ongoing US government

00:59.280 --> 01:01.039
shutdown that brought parts of the

01:01.039 --> 01:03.600
country to a halt. The shutdown has now

01:03.600 --> 01:05.600
passed the oneweek mark and its impact

01:05.600 --> 01:08.240
is being felt in some surprising places.

01:08.240 --> 01:10.320
Here's the message one pilot at

01:10.320 --> 01:12.479
California's Hollywood Burbank airport

01:12.479 --> 01:14.799
got as he was preparing to take off

01:14.799 --> 01:16.159
Monday afternoon.

01:16.159 --> 01:17.280
>> Just get my heads on. He said

01:17.280 --> 01:19.040
everything's closed for like our

01:19.040 --> 01:20.640
clearances.

01:20.640 --> 01:22.479
>> Clearance is closed. Grounds closed.

01:22.479 --> 01:25.200
Local's closed. The tower is uh closed

01:25.200 --> 01:26.880
due to staffing. Please just contact

01:26.880 --> 01:28.400
SoCal and the 800 number and the green

01:28.400 --> 01:30.000
bug for your clearance.

01:30.000 --> 01:32.320
>> An air traffic control tower had to

01:32.320 --> 01:34.400
temporarily close due to staffing

01:34.400 --> 01:36.720
shortages. It's just one example of how

01:36.720 --> 01:39.280
the hiatus is impacting vital government

01:39.280 --> 01:41.200
professions like air traffic

01:41.200 --> 01:43.680
controllers. Our Pete Montene has more.

01:43.680 --> 01:45.360
Burbank is the real interesting one

01:45.360 --> 01:46.880
because the staffing shortage there was

01:46.880 --> 01:48.399
so deep that the tower there went into

01:48.399 --> 01:52.079
what's called ATC0 meaning no air

01:52.079 --> 01:55.119
traffic controllers working. Uh pilots

01:55.119 --> 01:57.200
were asking controllers as you heard in

01:57.200 --> 01:59.600
the lead in there uh what to do and it

01:59.600 --> 02:02.240
essentially turns into the airport uh

02:02.240 --> 02:03.759
instead of a crossing guard like the

02:03.759 --> 02:05.200
control tower it turns into like a

02:05.200 --> 02:06.640
four-way stop. So they just have to see

02:06.640 --> 02:09.039
and avoid uh other airplanes that are in

02:09.039 --> 02:12.400
the area. Uh remember this very same

02:12.400 --> 02:15.920
thing happened during the 35day shutdown

02:15.920 --> 02:18.800
back in 2019 uh when controllers started

02:18.800 --> 02:20.319
calling out sick that led to ground

02:20.319 --> 02:22.879
stops and delays and some of the busiest

02:22.879 --> 02:24.800
swasts of airspace in the country. It

02:24.800 --> 02:26.879
was pretty quickly thereafter uh that

02:26.879 --> 02:29.120
lawmakers reached a deal ending this

02:29.120 --> 02:31.200
government shutdown. We'll bring you

02:31.200 --> 02:33.120
more about the US government shutdown

02:33.120 --> 02:35.360
and its impact as we learn more this

02:35.360 --> 02:36.879
week.

02:36.879 --> 02:39.440
Pop quiz hot shot. What particle is

02:39.440 --> 02:41.920
responsible for electromagnetic force?

02:41.920 --> 02:44.560
Photon, neutron, graviton, or higs

02:44.560 --> 02:47.560
boson.

02:50.560 --> 02:53.440
If you said photon, keep shining. Every

02:53.440 --> 02:55.200
color of light has different energy

02:55.200 --> 02:57.599
photons. Blue light photons are more

02:57.599 --> 02:59.760
energetic than red light ones. Did you

02:59.760 --> 03:01.360
know?

03:01.360 --> 03:03.360
Every day this week, winners of the

03:03.360 --> 03:05.280
Nobel Prizes will be announced. The

03:05.280 --> 03:07.599
foundation awards prizes annually to

03:07.599 --> 03:09.599
those who embody the pinnacle of their

03:09.599 --> 03:12.080
fields. The latest, the Nobel Prize in

03:12.080 --> 03:14.400
physics, which goes to trailblazing

03:14.400 --> 03:17.440
physicists John Clark, Michelle D'vor,

03:17.440 --> 03:20.000
and John Martinez for their work in the

03:20.000 --> 03:22.640
realm of quantum physics. They share the

03:22.640 --> 03:24.959
award for the quote discovery of

03:24.959 --> 03:27.519
macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling

03:27.519 --> 03:30.480
and energy quantization in electric

03:30.480 --> 03:32.720
circuit. Just as I predicted in my Nobel

03:32.720 --> 03:35.040
Prize winners bracket, their experiment

03:35.040 --> 03:37.200
done more than 40 years ago helped

03:37.200 --> 03:39.120
revolutionize our understanding of

03:39.120 --> 03:41.599
quantum mechanics, which describes how

03:41.599 --> 03:44.319
matter behaves at or below the scale of

03:44.319 --> 03:47.560
an atom.

03:51.280 --> 03:53.519
To Florida now, where conservationists

03:53.519 --> 03:55.440
are busy implementing an enormous

03:55.440 --> 03:57.439
restoration plan for one of the largest

03:57.439 --> 04:00.720
wetlands in the world, the Everglades.

04:00.720 --> 04:03.120
But it once was nearly twice that size,

04:03.120 --> 04:05.280
did you know? Before canals and dams

04:05.280 --> 04:07.920
altered its landscape. Today on Call to

04:07.920 --> 04:09.920
Earth, will witness the monumental task

04:09.920 --> 04:14.150
of bringing back its natural flow.

04:14.150 --> 04:21.430
[Music]

04:21.919 --> 04:23.199
Right now, we're standing in the

04:23.199 --> 04:25.759
Everglades. It's the largest tropical

04:25.759 --> 04:28.080
wetland in the United States and it's an

04:28.080 --> 04:31.120
incredible diverse habitat. This

04:31.120 --> 04:34.800
ecosystem is home to more than 2,000

04:34.800 --> 04:38.080
species of plants and animals.

04:38.080 --> 04:40.320
Known as the river of grass, the

04:40.320 --> 04:43.120
Everglades begin at Lake Okichchobee and

04:43.120 --> 04:45.360
flow south through cypress swamps,

04:45.360 --> 04:48.160
sawgrass marshes, and mangro forests

04:48.160 --> 04:52.400
before spilling out into Florida Bay.

04:52.400 --> 04:54.400
>> This is Pete soil. unique to the

04:54.400 --> 04:57.280
Everglades and it functions to capture

04:57.280 --> 04:59.680
carbon from the atmosphere and store it.

04:59.680 --> 05:01.440
It's one of the most important features

05:01.440 --> 05:03.440
of the Everglades and something that we

05:03.440 --> 05:06.720
work hard to protect.

05:06.720 --> 05:08.720
>> Natalie Gir is a scientist with the

05:08.720 --> 05:10.800
Everglades Foundation, one of many

05:10.800 --> 05:12.880
groups working to restore and protect

05:12.880 --> 05:15.360
this iconic wetland.

05:15.360 --> 05:17.199
At the end of the 19th century, as

05:17.199 --> 05:18.880
people started moving to South Florida,

05:18.880 --> 05:21.280
they started agriculture, building

05:21.280 --> 05:24.639
roads, cities, and all of that diverted

05:24.639 --> 05:27.759
the natural flow of the Everglades.

05:27.759 --> 05:29.919
Decades of human development drained the

05:29.919 --> 05:32.320
Everglades, polluted its waters, and

05:32.320 --> 05:34.240
threw its delicate ecosystem off

05:34.240 --> 05:36.720
balance, impacting many plant and animal

05:36.720 --> 05:39.199
species along the way. That's when we

05:39.199 --> 05:41.360
started realizing that all of this water

05:41.360 --> 05:43.120
is connected and that something needed

05:43.120 --> 05:46.720
to be done to restore this ecosystem.

05:46.720 --> 05:48.800
In 2000, the US government established

05:48.800 --> 05:50.960
the comprehensive Everglades restoration

05:50.960 --> 05:53.280
plan to remove barriers and bring back

05:53.280 --> 05:54.720
its natural flow.

05:54.720 --> 05:56.479
>> The comprehensive Everglades restoration

05:56.479 --> 05:58.880
plan involves 68 different projects

05:58.880 --> 06:00.639
across South Florida. It's a very

06:00.639 --> 06:04.160
complex project, but the benefits are

06:04.160 --> 06:07.199
worth it because we need enough fresh

06:07.199 --> 06:09.039
water coming south to maintain the

06:09.039 --> 06:10.960
biodiversity and the other functions

06:10.960 --> 06:13.199
that the Everglaze provide us. It

06:13.199 --> 06:16.560
protects us from hurricanes and storms.

06:16.560 --> 06:19.360
It helps us with flooding and it

06:19.360 --> 06:22.240
provides drinking water for 9 million

06:22.240 --> 06:25.120
South Floridaians.

06:25.120 --> 06:27.039
Just south of Lake Okachchobee, the

06:27.039 --> 06:29.440
crown jewel of the restoration plan is

06:29.440 --> 06:30.960
taking shape in the Everglades

06:30.960 --> 06:34.720
Agricultural Area or EAA led by the US

06:34.720 --> 06:37.600
Army Corps of Engineers. The EAA

06:37.600 --> 06:41.280
reservoir is a mega civil works project.

06:41.280 --> 06:43.840
It reconnects the freshwater from Lake

06:43.840 --> 06:46.240
Okachchobee to the heart of the central

06:46.240 --> 06:49.440
Everglades. It holds water so that it

06:49.440 --> 06:51.360
can be redelivered back to the

06:51.360 --> 06:53.919
Everglades in the right distribution

06:53.919 --> 06:55.280
with good quality.

06:55.280 --> 06:57.199
>> Basically, all this area where we're

06:57.199 --> 06:59.280
standing right now will be full of

06:59.280 --> 07:01.680
water. What you see around us is

07:01.680 --> 07:04.400
limestone that is natural from this

07:04.400 --> 07:06.960
location. We're repurposing it and

07:06.960 --> 07:09.520
making it engineer material for the

07:09.520 --> 07:12.080
construction of the reservoir. Expected

07:12.080 --> 07:14.560
to be completed by 2034, this reservoir

07:14.560 --> 07:16.160
will work in conjunction with storm

07:16.160 --> 07:18.800
water treatment areas or STAs that

07:18.800 --> 07:21.120
filter out excess agricultural runoff

07:21.120 --> 07:23.039
like phosphorus, which can lead to

07:23.039 --> 07:25.039
harmful algae blooms and negatively

07:25.039 --> 07:28.000
impact wildlife.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.479
While restoration is in various stages,

07:30.479 --> 07:32.240
and there may be decades to go before

07:32.240 --> 07:34.560
total completion, Natalie says they're

07:34.560 --> 07:36.319
already seeing the positive effects of

07:36.319 --> 07:37.280
their work.

07:37.280 --> 07:39.680
>> There's ongoing scientific investigation

07:39.680 --> 07:42.560
to understand truly the impacts that

07:42.560 --> 07:45.599
more fresh water has on the system. So

07:45.599 --> 07:47.840
scientists are already reporting

07:47.840 --> 07:51.199
countless more birds and other organisms

07:51.199 --> 07:54.080
compared to years past. The lesson we've

07:54.080 --> 07:58.160
learned over time is that for all of us

07:58.160 --> 08:00.879
to live here, we have to be in balance

08:00.879 --> 08:04.160
with nature because nature is our path

08:04.160 --> 08:06.479
to our sustainability and our future for

08:06.479 --> 08:08.120
all of our communities.

08:08.120 --> 08:16.490
[Music]

08:16.850 --> 08:21.520
[Applause]

08:21.520 --> 08:23.280
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

08:23.280 --> 08:25.440
Burly Beast getting beautified for a

08:25.440 --> 08:27.759
festival that is one of a kind. Water

08:27.759 --> 08:30.400
buffaloos in Thailand getting a glow up

08:30.400 --> 08:32.719
for the country's annual water buffalo

08:32.719 --> 08:35.120
festival. You heard that right. It marks

08:35.120 --> 08:36.719
the beginning of harvest season by

08:36.719 --> 08:38.800
celebrating these beautiful boines that

08:38.800 --> 08:41.519
were once vital to Thai culture. There's

08:41.519 --> 08:45.440
a parade and and a 100 meter buffalo

08:45.440 --> 08:47.040
dash. Eat your heart out, Kentucky

08:47.040 --> 08:49.120
Derby. The water buffalo population

08:49.120 --> 08:51.120
there that was once in decline as a

08:51.120 --> 08:53.279
result of farmers turning to modern tech

08:53.279 --> 08:55.440
like tractors. But these contests

08:55.440 --> 08:57.680
actually helped to revive interest in

08:57.680 --> 09:00.000
the animals. In 2017, the country even

09:00.000 --> 09:02.320
declared a national Thai Buffalo

09:02.320 --> 09:05.440
Conservation Day. Buffalo. Oh, yeah. All

09:05.440 --> 09:07.279
right. Very excited. This Friday is

09:07.279 --> 09:09.600
October 10th, 10:10, and we are

09:09.600 --> 09:11.600
highlighting one of you. Maybe you or

09:11.600 --> 09:13.519
your friends or your team pulled off

09:13.519 --> 09:15.600
something incredible this year. Maybe uh

09:15.600 --> 09:17.519
aced an important exam, learned a new

09:17.519 --> 09:19.839
skill or danced or did something to help

09:19.839 --> 09:22.640
those in your community. Send an email

10:01.600 --> 10:03.680
Rise up. Thank you for making us part of

10:03.680 --> 10:05.680
your day. Go out. Be a difference maker

10:05.680 --> 10:07.680
