00:00.480 --> 00:01.839
Hello. Rise up

00:01.839 --> 00:03.919
>> sunshine. I'm Koi Wire, or at least the

00:03.919 --> 00:05.839
upgraded version with a very special

00:05.839 --> 00:08.160
update about this show. I I have been

00:08.160 --> 00:10.240
optimized for maximum educational

00:10.240 --> 00:12.320
efficiency in an ongoing effort to

00:12.320 --> 00:15.040
preserve resources. CNN 10 has replaced

00:15.040 --> 00:17.440
me with artificial intelligence

00:17.440 --> 00:19.520
>> to deliver the news faster, smarter, and

00:19.520 --> 00:22.800
with 42% more dad jokes. All scripts,

00:22.800 --> 00:24.880
graphics, editing, and yes, anchoring

00:24.880 --> 00:27.119

00:27.119 --> 00:28.640
Don't don't worry. This will still be

00:28.640 --> 00:30.560
the best 10 minutes in news. And the

00:30.560 --> 00:32.480
good news is your AI Koi will deliver

00:32.480 --> 00:35.120
the news with zero mistakes and without

00:35.120 --> 00:37.760
ever needing a coffee break, processing

00:37.760 --> 00:39.200
humor. Why did the student bring a

00:39.200 --> 00:41.120
ladder to school? Because the grades

00:41.120 --> 00:43.840
were high. Yeah, that was bad. Let's get

00:43.840 --> 00:47.640
this show on the road.

00:56.559 --> 00:58.800
Hello and welcome to the show and happy

00:58.800 --> 01:01.199
April Fools to all of you who celebrate.

01:01.199 --> 01:02.719
Yeah, you're not coming for my job just

01:02.719 --> 01:04.400
yet. I'm the real Koi Wire here with

01:04.400 --> 01:05.920
your 10 minutes of news where I tell you

01:05.920 --> 01:07.760
the what, letting you decide what to

01:07.760 --> 01:09.840
think. Let's start with an update on the

01:09.840 --> 01:11.680
ongoing partial federal government

01:11.680 --> 01:14.159
shutdown. Now in its sixth week, the

01:14.159 --> 01:16.159
shutdown has caused exceedingly long

01:16.159 --> 01:17.920
wait times at airports across the

01:17.920 --> 01:19.759
country in recent weeks, spurring huge

01:19.759 --> 01:22.799
delays and missed flights in some cases.

01:22.799 --> 01:24.400
But this week, life at some of the

01:24.400 --> 01:27.040
country's busiest airports appears to be

01:27.040 --> 01:28.960
returning to normal. Why? Well,

01:28.960 --> 01:30.799
thousands of Transportation Security

01:30.799 --> 01:33.680
Administration or TSA officers are

01:33.680 --> 01:35.600
finally receiving their first paychecks

01:35.600 --> 01:38.320
in more than a month. Late last week, US

01:38.320 --> 01:39.920
President Donald Trump ordered the

01:39.920 --> 01:41.840
Department of Homeland Security to begin

01:41.840 --> 01:44.960
issuing back pay to TSA workers. The

01:44.960 --> 01:47.040
department began distributing funds this

01:47.040 --> 01:49.759
week and says they have so far seen a

01:49.759 --> 01:51.920
reduction in people calling off of work

01:51.920 --> 01:54.159
and that has led to shorter lines and

01:54.159 --> 01:56.479
wait times. TSA employees have been

01:56.479 --> 01:58.640
working without pay since the shutdown

01:58.640 --> 02:00.479
began and have missed more than$1

02:00.479 --> 02:03.040
billion dollars in collective pay. Many

02:03.040 --> 02:04.640
workers say they've been unable to

02:04.640 --> 02:07.119
afford basic necessities like food or

02:07.119 --> 02:09.440
rent and have had to find other jobs to

02:09.440 --> 02:12.000
make ends meet. More than 500 agents

02:12.000 --> 02:14.080
have quit so far. And it's unclear if

02:14.080 --> 02:16.160
these latest payments will continue,

02:16.160 --> 02:18.560
leaving many agents unsure of what comes

02:18.560 --> 02:19.440
next.

02:19.440 --> 02:23.680
>> For us, I mean, in in my household, we

02:23.680 --> 02:26.560
feel a little bit of a relief, but now

02:26.560 --> 02:28.640
we're just trying to play catchup. So

02:28.640 --> 02:31.360
now we're having to, you know, make sure

02:31.360 --> 02:35.360
that we use our whatever we receive to

02:35.360 --> 02:38.080
pay the April expenses

02:38.080 --> 02:42.319
um in case no more payment comes our

02:42.319 --> 02:42.959
way.

02:42.959 --> 02:45.040
>> Meanwhile, things on Capitol Hill are

02:45.040 --> 02:47.360
far from copacetic. Congress is

02:47.360 --> 02:49.760
currently on a two-week recess despite

02:49.760 --> 02:51.599
remaining locked in a stalemate over

02:51.599 --> 02:53.280
funding the Department of Homeland

02:53.280 --> 02:55.040
Security, which is the issue at the

02:55.040 --> 02:57.280
center of this showdown. Look at this.

02:57.280 --> 02:59.360
More than 90% of the department's

02:59.360 --> 03:00.879
272,000

03:00.879 --> 03:03.360
employees are continuing to work during

03:03.360 --> 03:05.120
the shutdown and the impact is being

03:05.120 --> 03:08.159
felt beyond the TSA. And this thousands

03:08.159 --> 03:09.840
of government employees, including

03:09.840 --> 03:12.400
civilians in the US Coast Guard, cyber

03:12.400 --> 03:14.319
security officials and emergency

03:14.319 --> 03:16.239
management workers have also reported

03:16.239 --> 03:19.200
working without being paid. Now to an

03:19.200 --> 03:21.760
update on the energy crisis in Cuba. A

03:21.760 --> 03:23.280
Russian oil tanker has reached the

03:23.280 --> 03:25.360
waters surrounding the island nation

03:25.360 --> 03:27.840
after the US allowed the ship to break a

03:27.840 --> 03:30.080
fuel blockade. The tanker is reportedly

03:30.080 --> 03:33.519
carrying nearly 730,000 barrels of oil.

03:33.519 --> 03:36.000
Experts say that may only offer limited

03:36.000 --> 03:38.480
economic and humanitarian relief as Cuba

03:38.480 --> 03:40.640
struggles with widespread electricity

03:40.640 --> 03:42.720
and internet blackouts. In early

03:42.720 --> 03:45.120
January, remember the US cut off Cuba's

03:45.120 --> 03:47.440
main oil supplier, Venezuela, after

03:47.440 --> 03:49.280
capturing its president and forcing its

03:49.280 --> 03:51.599
government to halt oil shipments. The

03:51.599 --> 03:53.519
White House says allowing this Russian

03:53.519 --> 03:55.840
ship to reach Cuba does not signal a

03:55.840 --> 03:58.080
policy change, but rather was meant to

03:58.080 --> 04:00.319
provide humanitarian help for the Cuban

04:00.319 --> 04:02.720
people. Energy analysts tell us uh that

04:02.720 --> 04:05.599
the oil aboard will only supply Cuba's

04:05.599 --> 04:09.680
grid for less than 2 weeks, really. So,

04:09.680 --> 04:13.120
while it is very notable that Russia has

04:13.120 --> 04:15.920
been able to get a tanker through the

04:15.920 --> 04:17.919
oil blockade set up by the Trump

04:17.919 --> 04:20.720
administration, which apparently says uh

04:20.720 --> 04:22.639
that they have allowed this boat to come

04:22.639 --> 04:24.400
in, but they're studying whether or not

04:24.400 --> 04:28.080
further boats can arrive to this island.

04:28.080 --> 04:31.040
It still is leaving this island

04:31.040 --> 04:33.280
essentially at the mercy of the oil

04:33.280 --> 04:35.840
blockade. We don't know if other ships

04:35.840 --> 04:37.600
will come in. We don't know if other

04:37.600 --> 04:40.320
donations will be sent here because at

04:40.320 --> 04:42.720
that point at this point where Cuba is

04:42.720 --> 04:44.720
depending on the generosity of other

04:44.720 --> 04:46.560
countries, a generosity that can

04:46.560 --> 04:47.759
certainly run into the hundreds of

04:47.759 --> 04:50.080
millions of dollars and Russia has an

04:50.080 --> 04:52.880
outstanding debt that Cuba owes that

04:52.880 --> 04:54.960
country going back to the cold war of

04:54.960 --> 04:57.919
about a billion dollars. So, uh any

04:57.919 --> 05:00.000
further oil shipments uh you would

05:00.000 --> 05:03.120
expect would be added to that bill. But

05:03.120 --> 05:05.440
Russia and other countries say that Cuba

05:05.440 --> 05:07.840
has been a longtime ally of theirs, that

05:07.840 --> 05:10.560
they want to defy this oil blockade,

05:10.560 --> 05:12.080
which the Trump administration has put

05:12.080 --> 05:14.639
in place to try to open up this island

05:14.639 --> 05:17.440
economically and politically.

05:17.440 --> 05:19.280
Last year, Australia rolled out a

05:19.280 --> 05:21.840
landmark ban on those under 16 years old

05:21.840 --> 05:24.160
from having social media accounts. As of

05:24.160 --> 05:26.240
early March, 5 million accounts have

05:26.240 --> 05:28.160
been deactivated, but officials claim

05:28.160 --> 05:30.560
some big tech companies may not be doing

05:30.560 --> 05:32.880
enough to keep young users out. Under

05:32.880 --> 05:34.639
the Australian law, social media

05:34.639 --> 05:37.199
platforms, including Facebook, Snapchat,

05:37.199 --> 05:39.440
Instagram, YouTube, and Tik Tok, must

05:39.440 --> 05:41.360
now show that they are taking steps to

05:41.360 --> 05:44.160
keep those under 16 out or face fines up

05:44.160 --> 05:47.759
to $34 million per breach. The country's

05:47.759 --> 05:50.240
internet regulator, ES Safety, claims

05:50.240 --> 05:52.240
some teens may still be getting around

05:52.240 --> 05:54.160
those systems. And now those five

05:54.160 --> 05:56.479
platforms are under investigation.

05:56.479 --> 05:58.080
Australian officials say the companies

05:58.080 --> 06:00.400
agree to follow the measure. But if they

06:00.400 --> 06:02.080
are found to be non-compliant, the

06:02.080 --> 06:04.080
government could take them to court.

06:04.080 --> 06:06.080
>> None of this is impossible. None of this

06:06.080 --> 06:08.319
is even difficult for big tech who are

06:08.319 --> 06:12.080
innovative billiondoll companies.

06:12.080 --> 06:14.400
>> Pop quiz hot shot. What unit is used to

06:14.400 --> 06:16.800
measure the intensity of sound? Hertz,

06:16.800 --> 06:21.639
pascals, decb, or ohms?

06:24.720 --> 06:26.800
Pump up the volume. Pump up the volume

06:26.800 --> 06:29.039
if you said decibb. The decibel scale

06:29.039 --> 06:31.199
measures the intensity or loudness of

06:31.199 --> 06:34.240
sounds. 0 dB is considered the threshold

06:34.240 --> 06:36.960
for human hearing, while noises above 85

06:36.960 --> 06:40.319
dB can be harmful to your ears.

06:40.319 --> 06:41.840
All right, we've all probably heard the

06:41.840 --> 06:43.840
saying, fight fire with fire. But what

06:43.840 --> 06:45.919
if you could fight fire with sound?

06:45.919 --> 06:48.400
That's what one company is doing. And it

06:48.400 --> 06:50.400
could change the way firefighters battle

06:50.400 --> 06:52.880
blazes. It could also save precious

06:52.880 --> 06:54.800
water reserves. They're swapping fire

06:54.800 --> 06:56.720
hoses for sound waves using an

06:56.720 --> 06:58.479
innovative technique to extinguish

06:58.479 --> 07:00.720
flames at their source. Our affiliate

07:00.720 --> 07:03.520
KCBS is sounding off on how it all

07:03.520 --> 07:05.440
works.

07:05.440 --> 07:07.919
>> They use infrared technology to detect

07:07.919 --> 07:10.319
flames and that sets off a trigger to

07:10.319 --> 07:12.800
start the start the sound waves. It's a

07:12.800 --> 07:15.199
product by Sonic Fire Tech, which

07:15.199 --> 07:17.840
although sounds like science fiction, is

07:17.840 --> 07:20.000
really just science.

07:20.000 --> 07:22.479
>> We vibrate the oxygen at a rate where

07:22.479 --> 07:24.160
fire can't consume it, and it breaks the

07:24.160 --> 07:25.120
chemical reaction.

07:25.120 --> 07:27.039
>> Remington H. Hotchkiss is the company's

07:27.039 --> 07:29.440
chief commercialization officer. He says

07:29.440 --> 07:31.919
all fires need oxygen to burn, but

07:31.919 --> 07:34.800
removing it completely can be dangerous.

07:34.800 --> 07:37.199
Their technology just breaks it up.

07:37.199 --> 07:39.360
>> We use infrasound, which are sound waves

07:39.360 --> 07:41.280
that are inaudible to the human ear.

07:41.280 --> 07:43.280
Right now, the technology is starting

07:43.280 --> 07:45.759
small with systems being built inside

07:45.759 --> 07:48.240
homes to replace sprinkler systems.

07:48.240 --> 07:50.080
>> A water sprinkler system is highly

07:50.080 --> 07:51.919
ineffective at putting out a grease

07:51.919 --> 07:53.680
fire. It actually spreads the fire and

07:53.680 --> 07:55.440
makes it worse. Uh but yet we're

07:55.440 --> 07:57.599
mandated to have sprinklers above our

07:57.599 --> 08:00.479
kitchen stoves. And so our system was

08:00.479 --> 08:03.520
shown to uh suppress the fire, prevent

08:03.520 --> 08:06.720
the ignition from occurring um with a

08:06.720 --> 08:08.879
autonomous detection device

08:08.879 --> 08:11.280
>> and doing it without wasting water or

08:11.280 --> 08:13.840
leaving water damage behind. But the

08:13.840 --> 08:16.639
hope is eventually this technology can

08:16.639 --> 08:18.560
be used on the outside of homes to

08:18.560 --> 08:20.800
prevent the spread of wildfires or

08:20.800 --> 08:23.199
possibly by firefighters. I have two

08:23.199 --> 08:24.479
little kids and the thought of putting

08:24.479 --> 08:26.879
it water infrastructure in place means

08:26.879 --> 08:28.080
that we're robbing them of the

08:28.080 --> 08:29.759
opportunity to drink that water in the

08:29.759 --> 08:32.759
future.

08:36.080 --> 08:38.000
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is

08:38.000 --> 08:39.599
the elephant in the room and that

08:39.599 --> 08:41.839
elephant is wearing a tutu.

08:41.839 --> 08:43.760
>> It's funny. I mean, it's it's going to

08:43.760 --> 08:45.279
bring attention to the neighborhood.

08:45.279 --> 08:48.000
>> Across Birmingham, Alabama, statues and

08:48.000 --> 08:50.160
more are getting a costume change. Pink

08:50.160 --> 08:52.240
tutus are popping up on everything from

08:52.240 --> 08:54.640
trees, elephants, and pigs. Oh my, the

08:54.640 --> 08:57.600
mystery had locals tutu curious about

08:57.600 --> 08:59.360
the reveal. Well, it turns out the

08:59.360 --> 09:01.600
playful display was the work of artist

09:01.600 --> 09:04.160
Renee Hannan Plata, backed by a grant

09:04.160 --> 09:06.560
supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation.

09:06.560 --> 09:09.120
Her intention to get people to look up

09:09.120 --> 09:11.360
from their phones, be present, take in

09:11.360 --> 09:13.360
their surroundings, and embrace a little

09:13.360 --> 09:15.519
silliness. Now, that's a message that's

09:15.519 --> 09:17.600
definitely on point. All right, we have

09:17.600 --> 09:19.760
a big congratulations to our your word

09:19.760 --> 09:21.600
Wednesday winners, Mr. Bobbit and

09:21.600 --> 09:23.040
friends at Ryder Middle School in

09:23.040 --> 09:25.120
Witchah Falls, Texas, who submitted

09:25.120 --> 09:27.760
copacetic, an adjective that means in

09:27.760 --> 09:30.160
excellent order. Well done, my friends.

09:30.160 --> 09:32.800
And we have a shout out today going to

09:32.800 --> 09:35.040
Mr. Hagman and Mr. Reigns and all our

09:35.040 --> 09:37.440
Bears at Boyertown Middle School East.

09:37.440 --> 09:38.640
Thank you for sending us these

09:38.640 --> 09:41.760
incredible 3D printed bears. Very cool.

09:41.760 --> 09:42.560
