WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:13.120 What's up, sunshine? Welcome to the 00:13.120 --> 00:14.880 show. I'm Koi Wire here with your news 00:14.880 --> 00:17.039 for Tuesday, December 9th. A brain 00:17.039 --> 00:19.359 teaser Tuesday for you. What two coins 00:19.359 --> 00:21.840 add up to 30 cents, but one of them is 00:21.840 --> 00:25.680 not a nickel? 10 seconds. Go. What two 00:25.680 --> 00:29.039 coins add up to 30 cents? One of them is 00:29.039 --> 00:31.760 not a nickel. All right, time's up. If 00:31.760 --> 00:33.840 you said a quarter and a nickel, you're 00:33.840 --> 00:35.760 correct. Two coins that add up to 30 00:35.760 --> 00:37.840 cents. A quarter and a nickel, the 00:37.840 --> 00:40.160 quarter is not a nickel. Now, let's get 00:40.160 --> 00:42.559 you your news. We begin in Syria, which 00:42.559 --> 00:44.800 just marked the one-year anniversary of 00:44.800 --> 00:46.640 the fall of former President Bashar 00:46.640 --> 00:49.280 al-Assad's regime. Assad ruled the 00:49.280 --> 00:51.600 country for more than 24 years and was 00:51.600 --> 00:54.000 overthrown by rebel forces last December 00:54.000 --> 00:57.120 following a brutal 13-year civil war. 00:57.120 --> 00:59.359 Crowds poured into the streets this week 00:59.359 --> 01:01.760 for the milestone anniversary, a moment 01:01.760 --> 01:04.080 marked by both celebration and 01:04.080 --> 01:06.240 uncertainty. The country is continuing 01:06.240 --> 01:08.400 to rebuild and recover under President 01:08.400 --> 01:11.119 Ahmed al-Shar's transitional government. 01:11.119 --> 01:12.640 But they've also struggled with 01:12.640 --> 01:15.119 continued regional instability and 01:15.119 --> 01:17.600 ongoing tensions with Israel. Millions 01:17.600 --> 01:19.600 of Syrians who were forced to flee 01:19.600 --> 01:21.920 during the war have finally been able to 01:21.920 --> 01:24.560 return home this year. And across the 01:24.560 --> 01:26.640 country, the remains of the Assad regime 01:26.640 --> 01:29.280 are being transformed into inspiring 01:29.280 --> 01:32.159 community spaces. That includes a cafe 01:32.159 --> 01:34.720 that once served as a jail. And one of 01:34.720 --> 01:36.640 the caf's regular customers took 01:36.640 --> 01:38.799 journalists inside the basement of that 01:38.799 --> 01:40.880 very building where he says he was 01:40.880 --> 01:43.040 imprisoned several times during Assad's 01:43.040 --> 01:44.960 rule. 01:44.960 --> 01:46.640 >> When you go downwards, it's as if you're 01:46.640 --> 01:48.079 heading toward a grave. There are no 01:48.079 --> 01:51.360 windows, nothing at all. 01:51.360 --> 01:52.960 These solitary cells, they used to 01:52.960 --> 01:54.560 imprison people here alone, without 01:54.560 --> 01:56.079 light, without windows, and without 01:56.079 --> 01:57.840 food. They would lock people up here 01:57.840 --> 01:59.920 without anyone knowing their fate. But 01:59.920 --> 02:01.680 now we come here and see that the place 02:01.680 --> 02:03.920 is beautiful. It has become a cafe and a 02:03.920 --> 02:05.600 place for culture and knowledge. And 02:05.600 --> 02:07.600 there is calm and safety. It is 02:07.600 --> 02:08.720 wonderful that this place has 02:08.720 --> 02:10.319 transformed from a place of oppression 02:10.319 --> 02:13.040 into a place of comfort and security. 02:13.040 --> 02:15.280 >> Now to a story taking us back in time 02:15.280 --> 02:17.840 with help from a very modern technology. 02:17.840 --> 02:19.920 In Italy, archaeologists are teaming up 02:19.920 --> 02:22.319 with robots to piece together ancient 02:22.319 --> 02:25.200 Roman frescco or wall paintings from 02:25.200 --> 02:27.440 Pompei. They were destroyed during World 02:27.440 --> 02:29.840 War II. The European Union funded 02:29.840 --> 02:32.800 project called Repair uses artificial 02:32.800 --> 02:35.280 intelligence and twin robotic arms to 02:35.280 --> 02:37.760 sort, match, and gently reassemble the 02:37.760 --> 02:40.000 tiny fragments. Think of it like solving 02:40.000 --> 02:42.640 several jigsaw puzzles at the same time, 02:42.640 --> 02:44.640 but without help from the picture on the 02:44.640 --> 02:47.120 box. Some question whether these robots 02:47.120 --> 02:49.200 might someday replace archaeologists. 02:49.200 --> 02:51.120 The director of the archaeological park 02:51.120 --> 02:53.599 of Pompei had this to say. 02:53.599 --> 02:56.720 >> The answer is obviously no. But what's 02:56.720 --> 02:59.440 going to happen is I think that the work 02:59.440 --> 03:02.000 of archaeologists will dramatically 03:02.000 --> 03:05.280 change. And in some way I think we will 03:05.280 --> 03:07.840 get back to to our origins to the 03:07.840 --> 03:12.720 interpretation of artworks of uh daily 03:12.720 --> 03:16.159 life of social structures architecture. 03:16.159 --> 03:18.400 Blending ancient art with cuttingedge 03:18.400 --> 03:20.400 technology. That's one way to bring the 03:20.400 --> 03:23.120 past into the future. 03:23.120 --> 03:24.879 Pop quiz hot shot. Who were the first 03:24.879 --> 03:26.640 K-pop artists to get a Grammy 03:26.640 --> 03:29.680 nomination? Stray Kids, BTS Twice, or 03:29.680 --> 03:33.080 Girls Generation? 03:36.560 --> 03:39.519 If you said BTS, you are bulletproof. 03:39.519 --> 03:42.080 They made history as the first K-pop act 03:42.080 --> 03:44.640 ever nominated at the Grammys. And now 03:44.640 --> 03:46.480 years later, it's K-pop Demon Hunters, 03:46.480 --> 03:48.879 the animated musical action film scoring 03:48.879 --> 03:52.319 a nomination for song of the year. As 03:52.319 --> 03:54.480 Hollywood awards season ramps up, the 03:54.480 --> 03:56.720 year's biggest animated trio is putting 03:56.720 --> 03:59.120 the Golden in Golden Globes. Roomie, 03:59.120 --> 04:01.280 Zoe, and Meera. The K-pop Demon Hunters 04:01.280 --> 04:04.159 trio has been nominated for three Golden 04:04.159 --> 04:06.799 Globes Awards, including best song and 04:06.799 --> 04:08.959 best animated picture. The movie is 04:08.959 --> 04:11.280 Netflix's most watched title ever and 04:11.280 --> 04:13.439 Google's second most searched term this 04:13.439 --> 04:16.000 year. It had five Grammy nominations and 04:16.000 --> 04:18.160 four top 10 hits on the Billboard Top 04:18.160 --> 04:20.160 100. The mind behind it all, the 04:20.160 --> 04:22.639 co-creator and co-director, Maggie Kang, 04:22.639 --> 04:25.520 sat down with our Alexson to talk music, 04:25.520 --> 04:29.280 representation, and more. in terms of 04:29.280 --> 04:32.080 representation, in terms of being seen, 04:32.080 --> 04:35.440 in terms of the Korean culture being 04:35.440 --> 04:37.919 exposed to the world in ways it never 04:37.919 --> 04:40.000 has before. 04:40.000 --> 04:43.680 It's I mean, it it's wild. Um, I made a 04:43.680 --> 04:46.639 movie because I wanted to see all the 04:46.639 --> 04:49.440 things in this movie and I didn't really 04:49.440 --> 04:51.680 realize that so many other people wanted 04:51.680 --> 04:54.880 to see this too and so many other Asian 04:54.880 --> 04:57.440 people wanted to see Asian characters on 04:57.440 --> 04:59.280 screen. Um, I think we, you know, we've 04:59.280 --> 05:02.479 all wanted that and we've we've all 05:02.479 --> 05:04.960 wanted to see our culture represented 05:04.960 --> 05:07.520 correctly and um, in the modern world 05:07.520 --> 05:09.520 because a lot of times in animation we 05:09.520 --> 05:11.520 do we do see Asian cultures but it's 05:11.520 --> 05:14.639 like a fantasy version or you know more 05:14.639 --> 05:17.360 of a hodge podge and um, so I I we 05:17.360 --> 05:20.240 really wanted to show Korean culture 05:20.240 --> 05:21.280 like on its own. 05:21.280 --> 05:23.280 >> What was the process of putting that 05:23.280 --> 05:25.120 music together? It was sort of an an 05:25.120 --> 05:28.320 atypical band. Um, I mean that was kind 05:28.320 --> 05:30.080 of my vision from the very beginning. 05:30.080 --> 05:32.080 Uh, growing up I I used to do a lot of 05:32.080 --> 05:35.280 karaoke and um, I thought that I could 05:35.280 --> 05:37.440 maybe pursue a career in K-pop. I always 05:37.440 --> 05:39.919 thought it was a silly dream and um, but 05:39.919 --> 05:42.160 when I got into animation I I saw it as 05:42.160 --> 05:44.800 an opportunity to create a a band of my 05:44.800 --> 05:47.039 own and kind of live vicariously through 05:47.039 --> 05:49.199 the performers which I am doing now. 05:49.199 --> 05:51.440 >> Um, but yeah, it's been it's been 05:51.440 --> 05:54.160 amazing. uh create creating the music 05:54.160 --> 05:57.120 was was very challenging because there's 05:57.120 --> 05:59.280 it's not just music, it's not just pop 05:59.280 --> 06:01.520 songs. They had to tell narrative, carry 06:01.520 --> 06:03.919 story and develop characters and all of 06:03.919 --> 06:07.120 that took a lot of time to craft. So, uh 06:07.120 --> 06:08.880 it was it was very challenging but you 06:08.880 --> 06:11.280 know really you know worth the effort. 06:11.280 --> 06:13.440 >> Next up, a story showing the profound 06:13.440 --> 06:15.360 impact that high school sports can have 06:15.360 --> 06:18.160 on and off the field. Longtime Northern 06:18.160 --> 06:20.319 California sports cer Dell Rogers 06:20.319 --> 06:22.080 retired earlier this month after a 06:22.080 --> 06:24.400 prolific career spanning three decades. 06:24.400 --> 06:26.080 During his final broadcast, the former 06:26.080 --> 06:28.479 NFL running back and Super Bowl champion 06:28.479 --> 06:30.479 says the highlight of his career was 06:30.479 --> 06:32.240 covering high school sports. 06:32.240 --> 06:35.280 >> I covered professional sports because I 06:35.280 --> 06:37.680 had to. But I also covered high school 06:37.680 --> 06:40.319 sports because I needed to. You see, 06:40.319 --> 06:42.000 high school sports is the backbone to 06:42.000 --> 06:44.319 our community. teaches our future adults 06:44.319 --> 06:48.000 teamwork, bouncing back from failure 06:48.000 --> 06:49.759 and how to appreciate success with 06:49.759 --> 06:53.440 honor. As I say goodbye, 06:53.440 --> 06:55.360 I ask that you continue to support high 06:55.360 --> 06:57.199 school sports. Yeah, 06:57.199 --> 06:59.039 >> that's why our teenagers transition to 06:59.039 --> 07:01.199 the real world. Thank you for letting me 07:01.199 --> 07:03.120 be a part of your fields, your courts, 07:03.120 --> 07:05.840 and your kids' lives. 07:05.840 --> 07:09.120 California love you and good night. 07:09.120 --> 07:11.120 >> Powerful stuff. And get this, following 07:11.120 --> 07:13.440 that emotional signoff, Dell was 07:13.440 --> 07:15.919 surprised in studio by not only his 07:15.919 --> 07:17.759 family, but the local high school 07:17.759 --> 07:22.360 marching band as well. Rise up. 07:24.960 --> 07:26.800 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A 07:26.800 --> 07:28.479 teacher from Texas turning to social 07:28.479 --> 07:30.560 media to save Christmas for hundreds of 07:30.560 --> 07:33.120 students. Our Lee Waldman has more on a 07:33.120 --> 07:35.440 heartwarming feat that took Tik Tok by 07:35.440 --> 07:36.479 storm. 07:36.479 --> 07:38.479 400 kids were about to lose their 07:38.479 --> 07:40.240 Christmas gifts until a teacher with 07:40.240 --> 07:42.639 about 100 Tik Tok followers tried 07:42.639 --> 07:43.919 something desperate. 07:43.919 --> 07:46.400 >> Hi, my name is Kyle and I have 54 days 07:46.400 --> 07:47.520 to save Christmas. 07:47.520 --> 07:49.520 >> Kyle Murphy is a data analyst and 07:49.520 --> 07:51.360 testing coordinator at an elementary 07:51.360 --> 07:53.120 school in Fort Worth, Texas, where 07:53.120 --> 07:55.360 roughly 90% of students come from 07:55.360 --> 07:57.599 lowincome households. For nearly 50 07:57.599 --> 07:59.280 years, the school's parent teacher 07:59.280 --> 08:01.680 organization has bought gifts for every 08:01.680 --> 08:03.599 child before winter break. But this 08:03.599 --> 08:06.240 year, the money was gone. So she turned 08:06.240 --> 08:08.560 to Tik Tok and posted despite having 08:08.560 --> 08:11.759 almost no followers. 48 hours later, she 08:11.759 --> 08:14.080 had a toy for every student. And as the 08:14.080 --> 08:16.479 money kept pouring in, they were able to 08:16.479 --> 08:17.919 add a stuffed animal, too. 08:17.919 --> 08:20.560 >> I had a donation for $1.80 with a note 08:20.560 --> 08:22.000 that said, "I'm just a high school 08:22.000 --> 08:24.000 student. This is all that I can afford, 08:24.000 --> 08:25.199 but I want to step up." 08:25.199 --> 08:26.879 >> Now she's using the extra support to 08:26.879 --> 08:29.199 fill a stocking for every child with 08:29.199 --> 08:31.520 toys and hygiene supplies. Everybody 08:31.520 --> 08:35.360 gets a hat, a toothbrush, some gloves, 08:35.360 --> 08:36.640 and a hairbrush. 08:36.640 --> 08:38.560 >> She says many families at the school 08:38.560 --> 08:40.880 don't typically do stockings. So, for a 08:40.880 --> 08:43.120 lot of kids, this will be their first 08:43.120 --> 08:44.240 one ever. 08:44.240 --> 08:45.519 >> So, being able to give some of those 08:45.519 --> 08:46.959 students a stocking for the first time 08:46.959 --> 08:48.560 is going to be very magical. 08:48.560 --> 08:50.080 >> Santa is coming to the school on 08:50.080 --> 08:52.880 December 16th for the kids, but Kyle 08:52.880 --> 08:55.120 isn't stopping there. A donor purchased 08:55.120 --> 08:57.600 a cooler for every teacher. And now Kyle 08:57.600 --> 08:59.600 is trying to fill up each with goodies 08:59.600 --> 09:01.839 before they leave for break on the 19th. 09:01.839 --> 09:03.600 >> Our students come from from rough 09:03.600 --> 09:06.480 backgrounds. And our teachers don't just 09:06.480 --> 09:08.000 show up and teach our kids. They really 09:08.000 --> 09:10.160 are that consistency, that love, that 09:10.160 --> 09:11.600 warmth. I would just love to kind of 09:11.600 --> 09:13.040 have that Oprah moment where they open 09:13.040 --> 09:14.880 it up and they see that, you know, 09:14.880 --> 09:16.160 people around the country are thinking 09:16.160 --> 09:16.880 about them, too. 09:16.880 --> 09:18.640 >> There's still time to help. Links are on 09:18.640 --> 09:20.399 her Tik Tok page and at 09:20.399 --> 09:22.720 kylesaveschrist.com. 09:22.720 --> 09:25.120 We are all more powerful than we know. 09:25.120 --> 09:27.680 Especially all of you.
