What's up, sunshine? Welcome to the
show. I'm Koi Wire. This is CNN 10,
where I tell you the what, letting you
decide what to think. Lots of stories
for you today. Not a lot of time to do
it, so let's get to it. We begin in
California, where earlier this month,
Japanese Americans marked a grim yet
significant anniversary in our nation's
history. 80 years since the official
closing of the internment camps of World
War II. After the attack on Pearl Harbor
in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
issued an executive order allowing the
forced relocation of all people of
Japanese ancestry. More than 60% of the
captives were second generation
American-born citizens. They're labeled
as security threats despite no evidence
of disloyalty. Forced to leave their
homes and jobs, allowed to bring only as
much as they could carry. They were put
into the camps in Arizona, Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, Arkansas, and in
Manzanar, California. CNN's Stephanie
Elam spoke with survivors who were
children at the time.
>> These Japanese Americans never
considered themselves enemies of the
state.
>> We were not enemy aliens. We were
citizens. And if we're not US citizens,
we were people who had green cards. We
were incarcerated. We were in prison.
And we were in concentration camps.
>> Most of those camps, which were
surrounded by barbed wire and armed
guards and towers, were officially
closed 80 years ago this month. In
December 1941, Japan attacked Pearl
Harbor. Two months later, US President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered the
force removal and incarceration of
Japanese Americans. They were taken to
camps like this one. This is Manzanar
out in the vast high desert of
California's Eastern Sierra and held
till nearly the end of 1945
after the end of World War II. Los
Angeles native Joyce Nakamura Okazaki
was just 7 years old when her family was
forced to board a train to Manzanar in
April 1942. When the prisoners arrived
here in Manzanar, they had to give up
almost all of their property save two
suitcases as well as their privacy.
>> Racial discrimination,
war hysteria, and then poor
administration. Those three things very
important for why we were put into camp.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, June
Aioi Burke was 10 when her family of
five was forced to leave their home on
May 7th, 1942.
>> We had a three-bedroom house. Everything
furnished. We had to leave everything
behind. We lost everything.
>> For 5 months, they and others were held
in horse stalls at Santa Anita racetrack
east of Los Angeles, managing to remain
patriotic, even those who weren't born
in the States. I don't think we felt
anything else but American under armed
guards of barbwire, but we're
celebrating the 4th of July.
>> From there, Aioi Burke's family was
moved to a camp in Arkansas.
>> The barracks were all black, tar paper,
the ground was all brown, and the sky
was all gray.
>> Yet, she says she felt safe and everyone
was able to move freely about the camp
with many parents shielding their
children from their harsh reality. As
the prisoners were released years later,
they were given $25, about $450 in
today's money, and a train ticket. The
caveat being that they could not
initially return to the West Coast.
There was no formal apology or
reparations until 1988.
>> It's important to remember your history
so that it is not repeated again.
>> Pop quiz hot shot. In many cultures,
what food is eaten at midnight to bring
good luck for the new year? Popcorn,
grapes, chocolate, or nuts?
If you said grapes, you are divine. It
is a Spanish and Latin American
tradition to eat one grape for each of
the 12:00 chimes at midnight. Each grape
represents good luck for one month of
the coming year.
A new crystal ball will be dropped in
New York City's Time Square this year to
ring in 2026. The ball has almost 5,300
scintillating Waterford crystals, nearly
twice as many as the last one. It also
has circular crystals for the first
time. This is only the ninth time the
ball has been updated since the
tradition began in 1907.
What does your body language say about
you? Without saying anything at all, how
you carry yourself can send a message to
those around you. Well, new pioneering
research could soon change how some of
the top athletes are coached and how
they're assessed by potential recruiters
or scouts, all because of their body
language. Our Don Redell spoke to a
professor who's analyzing the body
language of some of the world's best
soccer players during practices and
games. And what he's discovering might
make all of us consider the messages we
are sending with the way we carry
ourselves. Football players cost a
fortune. Every year they're bought and
sold with the hope that their skills
will improve the chances of the
billion-dollar teams who want them. But
are they being accurately evaluated? And
how do the teams who buy them know that
they're getting true value for money?
One pioneering researcher thinks he has
an answer right now, which is
ridiculous. There's no data on
psychology. Of course, they have scouts
and they spend a lot of time looking at
these players, but there's no objective
data on their psychology. Guyia Jordet
believes that psychology is an
undervalued commodity in football. He's
a professor in psychology and sport at
the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences
in Oslo. Many professional teams have
used his expertise and now he's figured
out a way to study every player's body
language in the English Premier League
and the Women's Super League. we were
able to produce something like 5,000
behaviors
uh in one game um that says something
about these player psychology. The ones
who actually have the most body language
in these games are women. So they have
more expressions during games than men.
But what you might not know, the
majority of these expressions are
actually of strategic nature. So it's
tactical instructions. When it comes to
the emotional part of this, the men in
our study are actually more emotional
than the women. Movements, actions, body
language, things that these players are
doing during a game that will reveal
something, leave clues about their
motivation, their emotionalities, their
social orientation. There are examples
of players who tend to be just too
disappointed in their teammates when
they made mistakes, but also in
themselves when they made mistakes and
they would walk around on the pitch and
just having a very destructive body
language that would drain the other
players of energy. Jordet and his team
have been using artificial intelligence
to speed up their research, which he
believes will soon be available so
quickly that a coach will ultimately be
able to use the data in real time in a
halftime team talk. And in theory, the
research could be used to evaluate a
player's compatibility with potential
new teammates.
>> These types of analyses can have a
pretty powerful, I think, impact on
recruitment and scouting. They know
everything about their physiological,
physical output. They know everything
about their technical performance, their
tactical performance. But when it comes
to psychology, as of uh today, even at
the highest level, um it's still a a gut
feel. It's still a subjective assessment
whether this player um is uh is
psychologically uh ready for uh our team
or or not.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
new record holder for the world's oldest
bus driver. Raymond Hagar from Witchah
Falls, Texas is 95 years old and not
slowing down one bit. Well, maybe for
traffic lights and stop signs. He is.
He's been driving a city bus for 27
years after retiring from his first
career as a farmer.
>> Just don't get tired of driving. I can't
I don't I can't inter whine, but I get
more tired at homes than I do driving.
Honestly, you know, if I get four or
five hours sleep at night, man, I'm
ready to go.
>> Ready to go. And now getting the credit
he deserves, an official recognition
from the Guinness Book of World Records.
And maybe even more special, the city
just surprised him with an official
Raymond Hagar day on the Witchah Falls
calendar in recognition of his years of
service. It's kind of like a dream right
for me right now. You know, like
yesterday my grandson for dad, he said,
"Well, Papa, are you still on cloud
nine?" I said, "Kyle, it's like I had a
good dream." You know, it's it's hard
for me for to soak in yet.
>> Rise up, Paul. And rise up to all of
you. Thank you for subscribing and
