hello and welcome to the show we're
often running into September for many of
you the start of a new school year as
well shout out to the teachers out there
thank you for making us part of your day
I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 where I get
you your news representing all sides
equally no opinion no slant in 10
minutes time and we're going to have
some fun along the way to let's start
today with a couple International
headlines an update on the Israel Hamas
war that started back on October 7th of
last year this weekend large-scale
protests were seen in Israel after its
military recovered the bodies of six
hostages killed in Gaza by the militant
group Hamas the protesters accus Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not
doing enough to protect these hostages
adding to the pressure on the leader to
complete a ceasefire deal with Hamas
three of the hostages killed in Gaza
were expected to be released in a
ceasefire deal that deal is now in
question with the US National Security
advisor saying that the next few days
will be critical in response to the
development Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu blamed Hamas saying whoever
murders hostages doesn't want a deal
Hamas on the other hand has blamed the
deaths on Israel and the United States
accusing them of dragging out the Talks
by issuing new demands
in Gaza a widescale humanitarian crisis
continues the majority of gaza's 2
million residents have been forced to
flee their homes next Brazil's
government is declaring war on arson as
unprecedented fires have spread across
the nation over the past few weeks tens
of thousands of Acres of rainforest
wetlands and farmland have burned and
officials say not a single fire started
from natural causes let's take a closer
look at what might be going
on Flames engulfing the world's largest
rainforest the world's largest wetlands
and now the southeastern state of s
Paulo fires in the Brazilian State have
burned almost 150,000 Acres an area
nearly as large as the city of
Chicago this video showing the critical
moment when Flames jump over a river
smoke turning day to night and covering
entire cities including uding the
capital Brazilia hundreds of miles
away but this is no natural disaster
authorities blame the recent rash of
fires on a perverse chemistry of climate
change extreme weather events and human
actions people are starting fires
environment Minister Marina Silva says
in the Amazon in the wetlands and in s
Paulo 10 people suspected of arson have
been arrested so far and police are
investigating whether criminal networks
could be behind these wildfires in a
span of 90 minutes multiple hotspots
appeared satellite images show in one
single day last Friday the 23rd the
number of fires hotspots were even
higher than the ones registered in the
Amazon biome meanwhile in the Amazon
almost 50,000 active fire spots have
been detected so far this year and
officials say none of them started due
to natural causes deforestation via r
continues to be a common practice to set
up illegal mining sites in cattle Farms
researchers and activists
say Pop Quiz Hot Shot who is known as

Star Walter Camp was given the
distinction for playing a leading role
in adapting the rules of the game making

rugby next we're going to an invention
that might be a GameChanger for the
sport of football there have been 50
rule changes in the NFL the last two
decades aimed at making the game safer
and advancements in technology and
Equipment have accelerated inventions
like Guardian caps aimed at helping to
prevent concussions weren't around when
I played in the NFL we're taking a
closer look at their potential to make
the game safer each football season
sporting Cathedrals like like this
Mercedes-Benz Stadium are full of
excitement about the game but each
season also brings concerns for families
and players about the dangers that come
with it there's been a recent uptick in
efforts to make the game safer one of
them these protective helmet covers
called Guardian caps but do they work
the Georgia based company aims to reduce
damage that can be caused to the brain
by the sudden stopping or rotation of
the head the NFL's research LED them to
make these caps mandatory for all
players during practices aside from
kickers and quarterbacks who are off
limits for contact players can also
choose to wear the Caps during the games
NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Miller
says the statistics show the Caps
increase safety as a result of the last
two seasons we saw about a 50% decrease
in concussions in the positions that
were mandated to wear them so of course
we've said okay all positions will now
wear them in this preseason now NFL rule
changes and advancements in the helmets
themselves could also be leading to a
decrease in concussions the company says
that more than 3,000 high schools and
more than 750 youth programs currently
use the Caps one question is if the NFL
is making them mandatory for the pros
why aren't they mandatory for kids one
potential drawback could be cost each
one of these runs about $70 $56 when
bought in bulk for a team many schools
are already struggling with funding and
the national athletic trainers
Association has said that such products
come with little to no independent
scientific evidence showing that they
actually work the helmet and head
protection is really the last line of
defense the first thing to do is
minimize the number of head impacts that
kids and other athletes are experiencing
one other potential drawback is the way
it feels some NFL players saying it
makes them feel topheavy at times well
the research will continue to be done
and the push to make the game safer
continues next we're traveling to Togo
the country located in Western Africa is
among the small smallest on the
continent it's also where you'll find a
program created by CNN hero pton McGriff
the goal to cover the cost of mandatory
school uniforms that can keep some girls
out of school McGriff helped create a
uniform that grows that's now key to a
movement that educates and employs
hundreds of girls and
women to put their uniform on for the
first time that's one of the most joyous
experiences that we see
poverty is a tremendous barrier to girls
education and a uniform is typically one
of the more expensive pieces they can be
one of the most cost-effective ways to
keep girls in
school so the name is style her
empowered we go by She and today she is
a nonprofit that creates sustainable
education and employment opportunities
for girls and women around the
world today when a girl enters our
program she not only receives a new
school uniform but she receives a full
tuition scholarship full year of school
supplies and a yearr round tutoring from
our local
[Music]
staff after we provided our first round
of uniforms we realized our students
were outgrowing them very quickly so
that was where the uniform that grows
was
born it grows six sizes and up to 12 in
in length it adjusts in various parts of
the body to provide a well tailored
fit we employ 20 seamstresses in
Togo we intentionally hire women from
lowincome low education backgrounds who
haven't had the opportunity to go to
school
previously we guarantee salaries on
average 75% higher than minimum wage we
provide 3 month paid maternity leave
unlimited sick leave and kind of a whole
host of benefits that ensure that women
in the workplace can
