00:11.759 --> 00:14.160
Rise up everyone. Welcome to Milan,

00:14.160 --> 00:16.320
Italy. It has been a wild final weekend

00:16.320 --> 00:17.920
at these winter games and there was no

00:17.920 --> 00:20.560
shortage of jaw-dropping moments. Norway

00:20.560 --> 00:22.320
became the first country ever to win at

00:22.320 --> 00:24.880
least 18 gold medals at a single games.

00:24.880 --> 00:27.199
Thanks in large part to the golden goat

00:27.199 --> 00:30.400
Johannes Hoslat Claybo. He now has 11

00:30.400 --> 00:32.480
career golds and is the first athlete

00:32.480 --> 00:34.480
ever to win six gold medals at a single

00:34.480 --> 00:37.280
winter games. He won every event he was

00:37.280 --> 00:40.320
in. And in hockey, an incredible ending

00:40.320 --> 00:42.800
for Team USA. Both the men's and women's

00:42.800 --> 00:44.800
squads facing off against Canada in the

00:44.800 --> 00:46.879
finals with the women coming through

00:46.879 --> 00:48.960
from a thrilling come from behind

00:48.960 --> 00:51.680
overtime finish. And the US men's team

00:51.680 --> 00:53.360
striking gold as well. It's their first

00:53.360 --> 00:55.920
gold medal in 46 years. the famed

00:55.920 --> 00:57.840
Miracle on ice upset win against the

00:57.840 --> 01:00.320
Soviet Union in 1980. But one of the

01:00.320 --> 01:02.399
biggest moments of this year's games, a

01:02.399 --> 01:04.479
gold medal for 20-year-old American

01:04.479 --> 01:06.799
Alyssa Louu. Her electric freekate

01:06.799 --> 01:08.400
propelled her to the top of the podium,

01:08.400 --> 01:10.000
making her the first American woman

01:10.000 --> 01:12.560
figure skater in two decades to win an

01:12.560 --> 01:15.280
individual medal of any kind. I had the

01:15.280 --> 01:17.040
chance to sit down with Miss Alyssa

01:17.040 --> 01:18.720
following the positively stunning

01:18.720 --> 01:20.880
performance to see how it's all sinking

01:20.880 --> 01:21.840
in.

01:21.840 --> 01:23.759
>> It didn't really change how I felt about

01:23.759 --> 01:26.000
anything. Uh the moment I finished my

01:26.000 --> 01:29.600
program, I was at like on such a high.

01:29.600 --> 01:31.920
Um literally nothing could bring me

01:31.920 --> 01:33.280
higher or lower.

01:33.280 --> 01:34.720
>> When you stepped away from figure

01:34.720 --> 01:37.280
skating, what did maybe the silence and

01:37.280 --> 01:39.759
the absence of the crowds teach you that

01:39.759 --> 01:43.360
the roaring arenas never could?

01:43.360 --> 01:45.200
>> I mean, it showed me a different side,

01:45.200 --> 01:47.119
that's for sure. And I got to experience

01:47.119 --> 01:48.799
something new, and that's always

01:48.799 --> 01:50.880
valuable. watching you out there. I

01:50.880 --> 01:52.880
don't know what was stronger, your jumps

01:52.880 --> 01:55.600
or your joy. It's just emanating from

01:55.600 --> 01:56.479
you.

01:56.479 --> 01:59.040
>> Who is Alyssa Lou now compared to the

01:59.040 --> 02:01.439
13year-old kid who burst onto the scene?

02:01.439 --> 02:03.200
>> Ooh. I mean, I would say I know myself a

02:03.200 --> 02:04.880
lot better, but you know, I'd hope I do

02:04.880 --> 02:10.000
at 20. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I I'm

02:10.000 --> 02:11.200
a lot happier now.

02:11.200 --> 02:12.800
>> As athletes, through all the highs and

02:12.800 --> 02:14.560
the lows, the ups and the downs,

02:14.560 --> 02:16.879
parents, family are there every step of

02:16.879 --> 02:18.800
the way. How much has your family meant

02:18.800 --> 02:19.920
to you in this journey?

02:19.920 --> 02:22.800
>> Family is everything to me. Same with my

02:22.800 --> 02:26.319
friends. Um they keep me grounded and uh

02:26.319 --> 02:29.599
yeah, honestly like they're the reason

02:29.599 --> 02:33.519
why I I feel like I am able to do so

02:33.519 --> 02:34.400
much.

02:34.400 --> 02:36.400
>> When young girls look at you now, what

02:36.400 --> 02:38.239
what do you hope they see?

02:38.239 --> 02:41.440
>> I hope they see that they have limitless

02:41.440 --> 02:43.120
potential.

02:43.120 --> 02:44.000
>> Limitless.

02:44.000 --> 02:44.319
>> Yeah.

02:44.319 --> 02:47.200
>> Yeah. What do you hope you being you

02:47.200 --> 02:48.800
says to anyone out there kind of

02:48.800 --> 02:50.400
struggle to find their place?

02:50.400 --> 02:52.800
>> Oh my god. I hope they know that it's

02:52.800 --> 02:56.400
good to break down I guess barriers and

02:56.400 --> 03:01.599
um do do risky things and you know go

03:01.599 --> 03:04.480
against some people sometimes.

03:04.480 --> 03:06.159
Yeah, it's liberating.

03:06.159 --> 03:09.200
>> Can you teach me a pose, a position?

03:09.200 --> 03:10.800
>> I got to I got to show these to my

03:10.800 --> 03:11.840
daughters. All right, what do we got for

03:11.840 --> 03:12.080
you?

03:12.080 --> 03:14.720
>> We'll do ending pose.

03:14.720 --> 03:15.440
Point your toe.

03:15.440 --> 03:16.480
>> Point your toe.

03:16.480 --> 03:17.599
>> Hand on your hip.

03:17.599 --> 03:18.239
>> Hand on my hip.

03:18.239 --> 03:19.120
>> And then point up.

03:19.120 --> 03:20.000
>> Point up.

03:20.000 --> 03:22.319
>> And that's it.

03:22.319 --> 03:24.319
>> I got that gold medal glow.

03:24.319 --> 03:25.840
Congratulations.

03:25.840 --> 03:27.040
Amazing.

03:27.040 --> 03:29.200
>> Alyssa Lou's performance has captivated

03:29.200 --> 03:31.440
the world. But nowhere has it resonated

03:31.440 --> 03:34.080
more than her hometown rank in Oakland,

03:34.080 --> 03:35.360
California.

03:35.360 --> 03:38.080
>> Crazy that she lives in Oakland, like so

03:38.080 --> 03:40.000
close to our home. I want to be that

03:40.000 --> 03:42.319
good. Just the sound of her spinning and

03:42.319 --> 03:44.640
jumping is like everyone's silence. And

03:44.640 --> 03:46.879
we're against the boards just in awe.

03:46.879 --> 03:49.040
>> Big smile. You see, she had that in

03:49.040 --> 03:50.000
sixth grade.

03:50.000 --> 03:53.120
>> She ice skates like right here. Feel

03:53.120 --> 03:56.000
like one day I could pop in and just see

03:56.000 --> 03:56.959
her.

03:56.959 --> 03:59.280
>> Next up, NASA's first manned moon

03:59.280 --> 04:01.040
mission in more than half a century

04:01.040 --> 04:03.120
appears to have hit a snag. The agency

04:03.120 --> 04:04.959
says they have identified an issue with

04:04.959 --> 04:07.120
the Aremis 2 rocket that could prevent

04:07.120 --> 04:08.959
it from taking off during next month's

04:08.959 --> 04:11.439
planned launch window. The issue, which

04:11.439 --> 04:13.599
concerns helium flow to the propulsion

04:13.599 --> 04:15.680
system, will require them to roll the

04:15.680 --> 04:18.639
towering rocket back to the vehicle

04:18.639 --> 04:20.880
assembly building from its launchpad.

04:20.880 --> 04:22.720
And that's no small feat. Teams of

04:22.720 --> 04:24.639
engineers and scientists are actively

04:24.639 --> 04:26.479
reviewing the data in hopes of

04:26.479 --> 04:28.880
preserving an April launch window. The

04:28.880 --> 04:31.040
Aremis 2 mission is slated to be the

04:31.040 --> 04:33.440
deepest human space flight ever. Four

04:33.440 --> 04:35.759
astronauts will travel around the moon

04:35.759 --> 04:38.320
and back in preparation for the 2028

04:38.320 --> 04:40.960
Artemis 3 mission when NASA plans to

04:40.960 --> 04:42.880
return astronauts to the lunar surface

04:42.880 --> 04:47.280
for the first time since 1972.

04:47.280 --> 04:49.360
Pop quiz hot shot. Which species of sea

04:49.360 --> 04:51.280
turtle is the largest in the world?

04:51.280 --> 04:53.199
Loggerhead, green, hawk bill, or

04:53.199 --> 04:56.199
leatherback?

05:00.479 --> 05:02.080
If you said leatherback, you are

05:02.080 --> 05:04.160
turtlely awesome. Leatherback turtles

05:04.160 --> 05:06.800
can grow to nearly 1,000 lbs. They're

05:06.800 --> 05:08.960
named for their soft, rubbery skin and

05:08.960 --> 05:11.039
are the only turtle that lacks a shell

05:11.039 --> 05:13.759
and scales. Shallow. If you've ever

05:13.759 --> 05:16.000
visited a beach or live near one, you

05:16.000 --> 05:17.600
may have seen the communal efforts to

05:17.600 --> 05:19.919
protect sea turtles. Coastal communities

05:19.919 --> 05:22.240
often keep street lamps off and porch

05:22.240 --> 05:24.479
lights low during nesting season so that

05:24.479 --> 05:26.400
baby turtles can find their way to the

05:26.400 --> 05:29.199
ocean. Well, a new study out of the UK

05:29.199 --> 05:31.440
suggests that turtles food sources may

05:31.440 --> 05:33.759
be a more dire problem. Our Allison

05:33.759 --> 05:35.840
Chinchar explains.

05:35.840 --> 05:38.560
>> All over the world, conservationists

05:38.560 --> 05:41.600
protect sea turtle eggs from predators

05:41.600 --> 05:44.560
so the babies can survive and make their

05:44.560 --> 05:47.360
way to the ocean. But a new long-term

05:47.360 --> 05:50.000
study of loggerhead sea turtles found

05:50.000 --> 05:52.400
that climate change is presenting new

05:52.400 --> 05:55.520
challenges to their survival. For 17

05:55.520 --> 05:58.000
years, researchers have been tracking

05:58.000 --> 06:00.720
individual female loggerhead sea turtles

06:00.720 --> 06:03.120
in Cape Verde, home to one of the

06:03.120 --> 06:05.360
world's largest loggerhead nesting

06:05.360 --> 06:07.919
populations. They found that the warming

06:07.919 --> 06:10.639
oceans are causing the turtles to nest

06:10.639 --> 06:14.160
earlier and produce fewer eggs. Fitra

06:14.160 --> 06:17.280
Nugra of London's Queen Mary University

06:17.280 --> 06:19.120
is part of that team.

06:19.120 --> 06:22.319
>> So, climate change has influenced the

06:22.319 --> 06:25.520
nesting timing of the populations and

06:25.520 --> 06:28.960
also the inter nesting interfile within

06:28.960 --> 06:31.919
a season. The increasing temperatures

06:31.919 --> 06:35.440
may speed up egg development inside the

06:35.440 --> 06:39.600
body, thus shortening the successive

06:39.600 --> 06:42.639
clutches. A clutch is a nest of sea

06:42.639 --> 06:45.280
turtle eggs, and a female turtle lays

06:45.280 --> 06:47.520
multiple clutches throughout a typical

06:47.520 --> 06:51.120
season with 10 or more days in between.

06:51.120 --> 06:53.360
The earlier arrival of the Cape Verde

06:53.360 --> 06:55.840
turtles and shorter time in between

06:55.840 --> 06:58.400
clutches tells researchers they have

06:58.400 --> 07:01.520
adapted to the warming ocean. But Nugra

07:01.520 --> 07:04.240
says after a deeper look, a troubling

07:04.240 --> 07:06.880
issue emerged. But when we follow

07:06.880 --> 07:10.479
individual sos picture uh complex

07:10.479 --> 07:14.400
picture emerge and that tells us that

07:14.400 --> 07:17.840
something is happenings in the oceans

07:17.840 --> 07:21.039
and it is beyond the temperature. It is

07:21.039 --> 07:24.080
the ocean productivity that is matters

07:24.080 --> 07:26.800
to all of this. The researchers started

07:26.800 --> 07:28.960
looking at sea turtle feeding grounds

07:28.960 --> 07:32.000
for answers and found a declining trend

07:32.000 --> 07:35.199
of chlorophyll in plants and algae over

07:35.199 --> 07:38.160
many years. They found that re- nesting

07:38.160 --> 07:41.280
intervals lengthened from about 2 years

07:41.280 --> 07:43.759
to four years over the course of their

07:43.759 --> 07:46.639
study. When the turtles did return, they

07:46.639 --> 07:49.919
laid fewer clutches and fewer eggs per

07:49.919 --> 07:53.280
nest. Cape Verde hosts tens of thousands

07:53.280 --> 07:56.560
of nesting female turtles each year. And

07:56.560 --> 07:59.440
Nugra says the future of the species

07:59.440 --> 08:01.840
depends on safeguarding their feeding

08:01.840 --> 08:04.560
habitats rather than just beach

08:04.560 --> 08:07.560
protection.

08:12.319 --> 08:14.319
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

08:14.319 --> 08:16.960
Nevada woman helping honor veterans who

08:16.960 --> 08:18.800
dropped out of school to serve their

08:18.800 --> 08:21.360
country. Charm McKelery has spent 16

08:21.360 --> 08:23.759
years with Operation Recognition, which

08:23.759 --> 08:26.479
helps vets from World War II, Korea, and

08:26.479 --> 08:28.479
Vietnam get their diplomas from their

08:28.479 --> 08:30.319
original high schools if they hadn't

08:30.319 --> 08:31.680
been sent to war.

08:31.680 --> 08:34.240
>> I think it gives closure and dignity to

08:34.240 --> 08:37.279
the veterans, and I didn't realize how

08:37.279 --> 08:39.279
much it meant to them, but the more I do

08:39.279 --> 08:41.919
and the more I give them, it it it

08:41.919 --> 08:43.760
really makes me feel good. She's helped

08:43.760 --> 08:46.560
secure more than 60 diplomas across 26

08:46.560 --> 08:48.880
states, sometimes even postumously or

08:48.880 --> 08:50.959
after the veterans have passed away.

08:50.959 --> 08:54.160
>> This ceremony in South Dakota where this

08:54.160 --> 08:57.360
gentleman uh graduated and uh this man

08:57.360 --> 08:59.519
lives in Bellingham, Washington.

08:59.519 --> 09:01.440
>> These veterans education may have been

09:01.440 --> 09:03.360
interrupted, but thanks to Charm's

09:03.360 --> 09:05.600
efforts, they will never be forgotten.

09:05.600 --> 09:07.200
All right, superstars. I've got two

09:07.200 --> 09:09.200
shoutouts for you before I hop back on

09:09.200 --> 09:12.000
this flight to the US of A. First one's

09:12.000 --> 09:15.200
going to Mrs. La Point at Wiscaneer

09:15.200 --> 09:16.640
Middle School in Brookfield,

09:16.640 --> 09:18.480
Connecticut. Thank you so much for

09:18.480 --> 09:20.080
subscribing and commenting on our

09:20.080 --> 09:22.080
YouTube channel. And this shout out goes

09:22.080 --> 09:25.120
to Miss Tillman at John McCandless

09:25.120 --> 09:27.120
Charter School in Stockton, California.

09:27.120 --> 09:28.800
I hear you are putting on your own

09:28.800 --> 09:31.600
Olympics this week. That is pure gold.

09:31.600 --> 09:33.360
Thanks to all of you for making us a

09:33.360 --> 09:34.800
part of your day. I'm so grateful to

09:34.800 --> 09:36.080
share this incredible experience with

09:36.080 --> 09:37.440
you. I've got some good friends filling

09:37.440 --> 09:39.519
in the next few days as I get back into

09:39.519 --> 09:41.120
action in Atlanta. But I'll see you

09:41.120 --> 09:43.839
states side. I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN

09:43.839 --> 09:46.839
And
