00:11.360 --> 00:15.040
What's up, sunshine? Welcome to CNN 10,

00:13.599 --> 00:17.039
where I tell you the what, letting you

00:15.040 --> 00:19.680
decide what to think. We have a big show

00:17.039 --> 00:22.240
today, and our lead story is a divisive

00:19.680 --> 00:24.000
topic. The main goal of this show is to

00:22.240 --> 00:25.519
be a conduit for the stories that are

00:24.000 --> 00:28.080
happening around the world with no

00:25.519 --> 00:29.679
opinion, no slant, just the facts. So,

00:28.080 --> 00:31.760
we'll do our best to break down the

00:29.679 --> 00:34.559
biggest news event out of the US this

00:31.760 --> 00:37.280
week, a fatal shooting of a US citizen

00:34.559 --> 00:39.520
by a federal agent in Minneapolis. It's

00:37.280 --> 00:40.960
the second such shooting this month. We

00:39.520 --> 00:42.559
won't show the entire video of the

00:40.960 --> 00:44.480
events that occurred, but for any of you

00:42.559 --> 00:46.320
who don't want to see any of it, I don't

00:44.480 --> 00:48.160
blame you. You can just fast forward to

00:46.320 --> 00:50.320
about the 4-minute mark of the show

00:48.160 --> 00:52.399
where our other news stories begin. All

00:50.320 --> 00:55.360
right, let's get you your news. On

00:52.399 --> 00:58.239
Saturday, January 24th, 37year-old Alex

00:55.360 --> 01:00.480
Prey, an American citizen and ICU nurse

00:58.239 --> 01:03.199
at a local veterans hospital, was shot

01:00.480 --> 01:04.879
and killed by a border patrol agent.

01:03.199 --> 01:06.880
Those federal agents have been working

01:04.879 --> 01:09.520
alongside Immigration and Customs

01:06.880 --> 01:11.600
Enforcement Agents, or ICE. The

01:09.520 --> 01:14.080
altercation happened just blocks away

01:11.600 --> 01:15.920
from where US citizen Renee Good was

01:14.080 --> 01:18.880
shot and killed during an altercation

01:15.920 --> 01:20.960
with ICE agents on January 7th. Here's

01:18.880 --> 01:23.200
part of the disturbing video before Prey

01:20.960 --> 01:25.840
was shot. Some eyewitnesses say that

01:23.200 --> 01:27.600
Prey was filming a group of ICE agents

01:25.840 --> 01:29.600
and tried to help a woman who they'd

01:27.600 --> 01:31.600
pushed to the ground. They said Prey

01:29.600 --> 01:33.680
then appeared to be pepper-sprayed and

01:31.600 --> 01:36.159
wrestled to the ground himself. Moments

01:33.680 --> 01:38.720
later, a series of gunshots left Prey

01:36.159 --> 01:41.360
dead. Officials say a handgun was found

01:38.720 --> 01:43.200
on Prey. Local and state officials and

01:41.360 --> 01:45.759
law enforcement condemned the Border

01:43.200 --> 01:48.240
Patrol agents actions and again demanded

01:45.759 --> 01:50.479
that the federal government withdraw ICE

01:48.240 --> 01:52.240
agents from their state. As for the

01:50.479 --> 01:54.159
federal government's account, White

01:52.240 --> 01:56.880
House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven

01:54.159 --> 01:59.040
Miller referred to Prey as quote an

01:56.880 --> 02:00.960
assassin who quote tried to murder

01:59.040 --> 02:03.200
federal agents. The Department of

02:00.960 --> 02:05.600
Homeland Security said it quote looks

02:03.200 --> 02:08.319
like Prey wanted to do maximum damage

02:05.600 --> 02:10.640
and massacre law enforcement unquote.

02:08.319 --> 02:12.480
This individual went and impeded their

02:10.640 --> 02:15.599
law enforcement operations, attacked

02:12.480 --> 02:18.400
those officers, had a weapon on him, and

02:15.599 --> 02:20.239
multiple dozens of rounds of ammunition,

02:18.400 --> 02:22.319
wishing to inflict harm on these

02:20.239 --> 02:23.840
officers coming brandishing like that.

02:22.319 --> 02:26.400
>> The federal government's account is

02:23.840 --> 02:28.720
being widely disputed by leaders at the

02:26.400 --> 02:30.640
local, state, and national level, citing

02:28.720 --> 02:32.560
that nobody has shown any evidence that

02:30.640 --> 02:34.800
Prey sought to kill anyone. The

02:32.560 --> 02:37.120
Minneapolis police chief said Prey had a

02:34.800 --> 02:39.360
permit to carry the gun and was allowed

02:37.120 --> 02:41.840
to have it on him as he was protesting

02:39.360 --> 02:44.319
in a public place. The Minneapolis mayor

02:41.840 --> 02:46.800
is casting even more scrutiny on these

02:44.319 --> 02:50.160
escalating incidents. How many more

02:46.800 --> 02:52.640
residents, how many more Americans need

02:50.160 --> 02:54.959
to die or get badly hurt for this

02:52.640 --> 02:58.640
operation to end?

02:54.959 --> 03:01.200
How many more lives need to be lost

02:58.640 --> 03:04.640
before this administration realizes that

03:01.200 --> 03:07.599
a political and partisan narrative is

03:04.640 --> 03:09.599
not as important as American values.

03:07.599 --> 03:11.840
Memorials to Alex Prey spread throughout

03:09.599 --> 03:13.360
the city over the weekend. State

03:11.840 --> 03:15.680
officials have sued the federal

03:13.360 --> 03:17.840
government over access to investigate

03:15.680 --> 03:19.920
the shooting. A judge has granted a

03:17.840 --> 03:21.840
temporary restraining order blocking

03:19.920 --> 03:24.239
federal agencies from destroying

03:21.840 --> 03:26.239
evidence from the incident. President

03:24.239 --> 03:28.000
Donald Trump and other administration

03:26.239 --> 03:30.080
officials firmly defended the

03:28.000 --> 03:32.959
immigration enforcement tactics in

03:30.080 --> 03:34.879
Minneapolis, blaming the state and local

03:32.959 --> 03:37.120
law enforcement for not working with

03:34.879 --> 03:39.280
them. Gnome echoed that sentiment,

03:37.120 --> 03:41.120
praising local officials in Memphis,

03:39.280 --> 03:42.959
Tennessee, where there is a Democrat

03:41.120 --> 03:44.799
mayor in place, saying, quote, "He

03:42.959 --> 03:47.040
worked with us and our federal law

03:44.799 --> 03:49.200
enforcement officers, and we saw murder

03:47.040 --> 03:51.760
rates drop by 50% because of that

03:49.200 --> 03:54.480
partnership." Unquote. Just before this

03:51.760 --> 03:56.159
taping, a glimmer of bipartisanship.

03:54.480 --> 03:58.239
Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and

03:56.159 --> 04:00.480
President Trump held a phone call where

03:58.239 --> 04:02.560
Walls requested they work together and

04:00.480 --> 04:06.799
the president said, quote, "We actually

04:02.560 --> 04:08.959
seem to be on a similar wavelength."

04:06.799 --> 04:10.560
10-second trivia. What is the primary

04:08.959 --> 04:13.040
purpose of cursive handwriting?

04:10.560 --> 04:17.640
Formality, speed, easier reading for

04:13.040 --> 04:17.640
children, or reducing ink usage?

04:20.400 --> 04:24.880
If you said speed, quick thinking. In

04:22.639 --> 04:26.720
the late 1800s, cursive became the main

04:24.880 --> 04:29.120
form of handwriting taught in grammar

04:26.720 --> 04:31.199
schools. The decline of cursive usage

04:29.120 --> 04:33.199
today has led some young adults to adopt

04:31.199 --> 04:35.680
signatures some of their friends can't

04:33.199 --> 04:37.840
read. These days, a lot of people only

04:35.680 --> 04:39.759
use cursive writing for one thing,

04:37.840 --> 04:42.000
signing their name. But at one middle

04:39.759 --> 04:43.759
school in Alexandria, Virginia, students

04:42.000 --> 04:46.240
are learning how to use it for a whole

04:43.759 --> 04:48.000
lot more. Not that long ago, cursive was

04:46.240 --> 04:50.240
a regular part of the school day.

04:48.000 --> 04:52.400
Students practiced loops and lines in

04:50.240 --> 04:54.400
class, but as typing, texting, and

04:52.400 --> 04:56.880
screens took over, cursive slowly

04:54.400 --> 04:59.120
disappeared from a lot of classrooms. At

04:56.880 --> 05:01.520
Holmes Middle School in Fairfax County

04:59.120 --> 05:04.000
Public Schools, multilingual learner

05:01.520 --> 05:06.160
specialist Shereice Kenderson says the

05:04.000 --> 05:07.840
idea to bring it back started with a

05:06.160 --> 05:09.440
moment she did not expect.

05:07.840 --> 05:11.280
>> I was writing on the board in cursive

05:09.440 --> 05:13.520
and the students who were rising sixth

05:11.280 --> 05:14.880
graders looked at me like I had a

05:13.520 --> 05:16.400
strange thing on my head and I'm like,

05:14.880 --> 05:17.840
"What's going on?" They said, "We don't

05:16.400 --> 05:19.840
know what you're writing." So she

05:17.840 --> 05:21.520
started the cursive club, giving

05:19.840 --> 05:24.160
students a chance to develop their

05:21.520 --> 05:25.520
individuality and learn a skill a lot of

05:24.160 --> 05:27.680
adults grew up with.

05:25.520 --> 05:29.280
>> I mean, these students now can write in

05:27.680 --> 05:31.919
cursive and some of their teachers can't

05:29.280 --> 05:33.360
read it. I had a student say to me, um,

05:31.919 --> 05:35.039
my teacher told me I can't practice

05:33.360 --> 05:37.120
cursive in the classroom because they're

05:35.039 --> 05:38.720
not familiar with how to read it. So,

05:37.120 --> 05:39.520
you have that, hey, I can. That's my

05:38.720 --> 05:41.199
superpower.

05:39.520 --> 05:43.759
>> Here's what some of her students have to

05:41.199 --> 05:47.680
say. I would say that it's really cool

05:43.759 --> 05:50.880
to learn something new and like to be a

05:47.680 --> 05:53.199
one of the few people who know it and

05:50.880 --> 05:54.960
having a lot of good people with you

05:53.199 --> 05:57.360
while you learn those things is really

05:54.960 --> 05:59.360
cool. Um, I've been using it for all of

05:57.360 --> 06:01.919
my assignments since it feels easier

05:59.360 --> 06:04.080
than print. Planning to use it when I

06:01.919 --> 06:06.319
write checks when I'm older. Read the

06:04.080 --> 06:09.039
Declaration of Independence.

06:06.319 --> 06:12.160
Usually I'm like on like the computer

06:09.039 --> 06:14.720
24/7 cuz at like most of my classes they

06:12.160 --> 06:17.039
want us to be like doing like like

06:14.720 --> 06:19.600
typing stuff on the computer. So in like

06:17.039 --> 06:22.319
cursive club no texting cuz like Mrs.

06:19.600 --> 06:24.160
Kenderson said um like when you're

06:22.319 --> 06:25.680
typing you're on like a one but then

06:24.160 --> 06:27.440
like when you're doing like regular

06:25.680 --> 06:29.039
writing you're on like a five and then

06:27.440 --> 06:31.199
like when you're in doing cursive your

06:29.039 --> 06:33.840
brain's like on a 10. It's just like

06:31.199 --> 06:35.840
really hyped. Cursive may have faded as

06:33.840 --> 06:38.639
screens took over the classroom, but

06:35.840 --> 06:41.520
here it's making a comeback. One loop,

06:38.639 --> 06:43.199
line, and very focused brain at a time.

06:41.520 --> 06:45.840
For more about this story, you can check

06:43.199 --> 06:48.160
out our CNN Friends podcast, Five Good

06:45.840 --> 06:49.840
Things. Much of the country is currently

06:48.160 --> 06:52.479
dealing with the frigid aftermath of

06:49.840 --> 06:54.960
this weekend's sprawling winter storm.

06:52.479 --> 06:57.120
18 different states saw more than a foot

06:54.960 --> 06:59.840
of snow. As of this taping, more than

06:57.120 --> 07:02.000
800,000 people were still without power

06:59.840 --> 07:04.319
due to devastating amounts of ice. But

07:02.000 --> 07:06.240
in Snowstricken, Oklahoma, a group of

07:04.319 --> 07:09.360
off-road enthusiasts are turning their

07:06.240 --> 07:11.759
4x4s into a force for good, becoming a

07:09.360 --> 07:14.919
lifeline for essential employees. Check

07:11.759 --> 07:14.919
it out.

07:15.280 --> 07:18.160
>> We'd like to take care of our community.

07:16.880 --> 07:20.639
This is where we live. This is where we

07:18.160 --> 07:22.479
go to work at.

07:20.639 --> 07:24.560
We got seven dispatchers. We've got up

07:22.479 --> 07:26.720
to close to 30 jeeps running the last

07:24.560 --> 07:28.400
couple of days. you know, people in

07:26.720 --> 07:29.840
nursing homes that that they've got to

07:28.400 --> 07:31.520
be staffed because no matter what the

07:29.840 --> 07:33.440
weather does, people are going to need

07:31.520 --> 07:34.560
help. You know, the medical staff is

07:33.440 --> 07:36.319
constantly going. It doesn't matter

07:34.560 --> 07:38.319
what's happening outside that that ball

07:36.319 --> 07:39.599
keeps spinning. And we figured, hey, we

07:38.319 --> 07:42.759
can just get together and help some

07:39.599 --> 07:42.759
people out.

07:43.280 --> 07:46.639
>> Everybody we picked up has been

07:44.639 --> 07:47.840
extremely grateful. Uh they tell us left

07:46.639 --> 07:48.960
and right like, you know, thank you. I

07:47.840 --> 07:50.319
can't believe you guys do this. You

07:48.960 --> 07:52.000
know, how are you doing it for free? Why

07:50.319 --> 07:54.479
are you doing it for free? It's cuz we

07:52.000 --> 07:55.919
like to help.

07:54.479 --> 07:57.759
And we're not doing it for the thanks.

07:55.919 --> 07:59.360
We're just doing it for make sure that

07:57.759 --> 08:02.360
people are in place to help those in

07:59.360 --> 08:02.360
need.

08:05.919 --> 08:09.599
>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is

08:07.759 --> 08:10.319
straight fire. Getting jalapeno

08:09.599 --> 08:12.080
business.

08:10.319 --> 08:12.800
>> It's definitely one of the spiciest

08:12.080 --> 08:14.720
things I've had.

08:12.800 --> 08:16.639
>> That's 12-year-old Frankie Martinez

08:14.720 --> 08:19.840
talking about his newest hot sauce with

08:16.639 --> 08:22.479
a peppercul name, Blow Torch. He has his

08:19.840 --> 08:24.240
own business named Frankie Spicy Farm.

08:22.479 --> 08:26.560
and Blow Torch is made with ghost

08:24.240 --> 08:28.800
peppers and Carolina Reapers, two of the

08:26.560 --> 08:31.280
hottest peppers on the planet. His other

08:28.800 --> 08:33.519
sauces were made with kids and non-spicy

08:31.280 --> 08:35.440
lovers in mind. But Frankie says this

08:33.519 --> 08:37.599
new sauce is for those who can take the

08:35.440 --> 08:40.080
heat. Frankie started selling homemade

08:37.599 --> 08:42.320
hot sauce at a local farmers market in

08:40.080 --> 08:45.519
South Boston, Virginia when he was just

08:42.320 --> 08:47.600
8 years old. His sauces are commercially

08:45.519 --> 08:50.160
bottled, selling about 20 bottles a

08:47.600 --> 08:52.560
month and winning awards along the way.

08:50.160 --> 08:54.320
But the road wasn't always mild.

08:52.560 --> 08:56.080
>> Department of Agriculture, they told us

08:54.320 --> 08:59.040
you shouldn't be selling your hot sauce

08:56.080 --> 09:01.360
because it needs to be FDA approved. So,

08:59.040 --> 09:02.000
I was kind of like mad and sad. At the

09:01.360 --> 09:04.240
same time,

09:02.000 --> 09:06.080
>> Frankie was like, I have a narrow idea

09:04.240 --> 09:08.160
what I'm going to do now. But he's not

09:06.080 --> 09:09.920
your average entrepreneur. That didn't

09:08.160 --> 09:12.080
extinguish his flame. He put his

09:09.920 --> 09:14.399
fundraisers together. He created some

09:12.080 --> 09:16.399
merch and got the sauce professionally

09:14.399 --> 09:18.320
bottled. It is kind of hard going to

09:16.399 --> 09:21.120
school, doing homework, and also

09:18.320 --> 09:23.360
balancing a business, but I'm able to do

09:21.120 --> 09:25.760
it with the help of my parents and

09:23.360 --> 09:27.440
everyone in the spicy community.

09:25.760 --> 09:30.000
>> And while his parents help behind the

09:27.440 --> 09:31.920
scenes, his dad says the real fuel comes

09:30.000 --> 09:33.920
from Frankie. Hey Frankie, what's your

09:31.920 --> 09:35.360
advice for young entrepreneurs?

09:33.920 --> 09:37.440
>> If you want to start your own business,

09:35.360 --> 09:40.480
you got to make sure you're dedicated

09:37.440 --> 09:42.480
and you want to keep going and even when

09:40.480 --> 09:43.120
there's hard times, not to stop and keep

09:42.480 --> 09:45.360
pushing.

09:43.120 --> 09:48.399
>> I see you, Frankie. Dream big, work

09:45.360 --> 09:50.240
hard, be prepared, and bring the heat.

09:48.399 --> 09:53.200
All right, superstars, two shout outs

09:50.240 --> 09:55.279
for you today. Mrs. McIntyre at West

09:53.200 --> 09:57.360
Henderson High School in Hendersonville,

09:55.279 --> 09:59.839
North Carolina. Thank you for making us

09:57.360 --> 10:02.320
a part of your day. And this shout out

09:59.839 --> 10:04.880
goes to all my waves at Oakrest Middle

10:02.320 --> 10:06.880
School in Ensenus, California. I played

10:04.880 --> 10:09.120
football with Mrs. Frederick's hubby

10:06.880 --> 10:11.760
back in the day. Rise up everyone and

10:09.120 --> 10:13.519
keep up the good work. Tomorrow is your

10:11.760 --> 10:15.920
word Wednesday. So submit your

10:13.519 --> 10:18.880
vocabulary word to my latest post on

10:15.920 --> 10:20.880
Instagram, Koiwire or CNN10 and we're

10:18.880 --> 10:22.560
going to choose a winner to work into

10:20.880 --> 10:24.079

10:22.560 --> 10:25.839
definition in there and your teacher's

10:24.079 --> 10:27.120
