hello sunshine I'm Koi Wire This is CNN
10 where we simply tell you the what
letting you decide what to think Happy
Earth Tuesday April 22nd More on that in
a moment But we do start with some
solemn news today as people around the
world continue to mourn the death of
Pope Francis He was 88 years old
Bells told in the Vatican after the
Pope's death was announced Monday
Despite his poor health Pope Francis had
spent the past week actively serving the
Catholic Church making significant
appearances during the Holy Week He was
discharged from the hospital less than
one month ago after a 38-day battle with
pneumonia Just hours before his death he
made a surprise appearance on the
balcony of St Peter's Basilica for an
Easter blessing
Pope Francis was known for many firsts
in the Catholic faith He was the first
non-European pontiff in nearly 1300
years Born to Italian migrants in
Buenosares He was the first Latin
American pope elected in the church's
history He was also the first pope to
choose the name Francis after the
Catholic saint who's known for his
compassion for the poor and love of
nature Pope Francis was known as a
modernizer of the church He was
outspoken about humanitarian crises like
migration war and climate change It
seems clear to me also that climate
change is a problem We can no
longer be left to a future generation
Pope Francis also sought to lead the
church's clergy with a more
compassionate and inclusive approach in
part for people who got divorced and for
those who are part of the LGBTQ
community He authorized priests to offer
blessings to same-sex couples and he
also worked to give greater roles to
women working in the Vatican He will be
remembered for taking bolder actions
than most popes In 2016 he washed the
feet of Middle Eastern refugees saying
quote "Gestures speak louder than words
or images." In March of 2020 he held a
striking moment of prayer during the CO
19 pandemic before a completely empty St
Peter's Square In his final Easter
address Pope Francis called for an end
to violence worldwide and prayed for a
ceasefire in Gaza and the release of
Israeli hostages Whether you are one of
the more than 1 billion Catholics around
the world or not the Pope was an
advocate for so many different people
who are suffering And to honor that I'll
leave you with one of his more memorable
quotes A little bit of mercy makes the
world less cold and more
just Pop quiz hot shot What big cat is
named after an indigenous word meaning
he who kills with one leap leopard puma
cheetah or jaguar
if you said jaguar you're right The
largest feline in South America gets its
name from the word yaguar considered the
root of the name for the animal in a
number of South American indigenous
languages Today is Earth Day And while
some of you may be celebrating by
helping out with a community service
project or maybe just recycling that
soda can CNN's Bill Weir is witnessing a
conservation project years in the making
The jaguar is the largest big cat in
South America but their natural habitat
is shrinking rapidly Jaguars are no
longer found in half of their
traditional environments from the
southwest US to central Argentina Now
conservationists led by the former CEO
of Patagonia are on a mission to revive
Argentina's dwindling jaguar population
with the help of a wildorn jaguar named
Minnie Our Bill Weir takes us along on
her incredible journey Check it out
This beautiful big cat is a wild jaguar
She's smaller than most so they call her
Minnie And a vet just sedated her ahead
of a critical mission that could have a
huge impact on her entire species
The first couple times you went through
this process it must have been
exhilarating It's exhilarating still but
so many things can go wrong So you're
worried so I'm I'm worried about
everybody Minnie is set to become the
first wildorn jaguar to be relocated for
the purposes of conservation I saw you
combing her hair like a like a mom
It's a little like that Yeah it's a
little like that
Christine Tommpkins used to be the CEO
of the apparel brand Patagonia She is
now an icon of species conservation and
earth repair along with her late husband
Doug founder of the Northace The couple
was so inspired by the success of the US
National Park System that they wanted to
replicate it in South America Fueled by
a burning desire to protect the
Patagonian wilderness from the ravages
of cattle ranches and soy plantations
they purchased 2 million acres in Chile
and Argentina But that didn't feel right
So they decided to give it all away in
the largest private land donation in
history Crazy though it may have seemed
to them then we were doing what we were
saying
Mini's new home is here in El
Impenetrable National Park It sits
within the second largest continuous
forest in South America called Grand
Chako Stemming from an indigenous word
meaning hunting land and hunt they did
Over centuries here ranchers hunted the
big cats until they were nowhere to be
found But then in 2019 hope A park
ranger discovered the tracks of a
solitary male jaguar and then a second
one a little later on The only problem
no females to mate with meaning these
lone males might have been the last ones
left After a bumpy and dusty ride
through the Grand Choco Forest Minnie's
finally set for the first stage of her
release
She spends 5 months in this enclosure
adjusting to the drier forest of Ellen
Panetra Now with regulatory approval
cleared she's free But no pressure
Minnie If she successfully managed to
mingle with one of those two males the
region's top cat could be back
So many species were gone And now I can
honestly say this they're
back and they're thriving I mean we're
really proud of what we're doing and
we're not going to stop it but we need
to be looking at a continental scale
This is the like the hailmary pass of
conservation That's how I see it And I'm
74 so I'm not going to see the end of
this but I'm happy about that
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10
Humanoid Robo Runners versus real humans
in a half marathon More than 20 bipedal
robots and their human helpers competed
against thousands of humans in the
world's first humanoid half marathon
over the weekend in China And although
the tech was impressive whether
physically imposing or not so much their
ability to run was also impressive but
again not so much The humanoids got
destroyed by the winding course with
sloping hills Also by their need to
change batteries during the race Get
that robot a reboot or some sleep mode
stat They also got glitched by their
human opponents The fastest robot came
in at 2 hours and 40 minutes The fastest
human 1 hour and 2 minutes Though the
bots got humbled by humans the race was
still symbolic in a way of the nations
across the world racing to improve their
humanoid technology All right we have an
