00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.150
Hello and happy Monday. I'm Ky Wire. You

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.470
are watching CNN 10. You know, Mondays,

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.390
they get a bad rap. Sometimes we feel

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.470
sluggish. Sometimes we feel daunted by

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.070
the thought of the week ahead. But think

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:23.990
about this. Mondays are like brand new

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.150
beginnings, a new canvas. So, let's get

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.990
to work on our masterpiece and get you

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.470
your news for Monday, June 8th. We begin

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.549
in Washington, DC, where one of

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:34.790
America's most recognizable landmarks is

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:37.590
getting a major makeover. Crews have

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.670
begun filling the newly refurbished

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.069
reflecting pool on the National Mall. US

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.150
President Donald Trump calling it his

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.389
gift to the United States of America.

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.229
It's one of several projects and events

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:50.150
approved in the leadup to America's

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.270
250th birthday celebration later this

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.430
summer. While initial estimates put the

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:58.150
cost at about $1.8 million, federal

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:00.470
records now show the price tag has

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.790
climbed to at least 13 million.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.469
Supporters say the improvements are

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:06.310
worth the investment. Critics question

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.469
whether taxpayer dollars could be better

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:10.950
spent elsewhere. Our Sunland Surfat has

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:11.910
more.

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.630
>> In his quest to remake Washington in his

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.950
distinctive style and flare, President

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:19.670
Trump has become fixated on his side

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.550
gig. absorbed with every detail, color,

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:23.270
material.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.350
>> They were missing medallions. See the

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:26.070
medallions

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:28.149
>> as he prioritizes a handful of

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.190
renovations and changes across DC.

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.109
>> So, this is a Greek

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:37.270
more or less. It comes out of Greece.

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.190
>> All across DC, there are projects that

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.870
are popping up. President Trump is

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.030
painting the reflecting pool from gray

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.030
to now an American flag blue.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.710
>> So, we're putting a beautiful surface

00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:49.350
on. It's called the coloring is it's

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:51.190
like a swimming pool but industrial

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:51.749
strength.

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:54.149
>> He also wants to paint this pool here at

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.910
the World War II memorial.

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.350
>> On the bottom we're going to duplicate

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:00.230
it I think with the uh maybe with a

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:01.670
slightly different color. Actually we'll

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:02.870
go with a lighter color.

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:04.950
>> And in this empty circle he's building a

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:07.990
huge 250 ft arch, the tallest in the

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:08.550
world.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.990
>> We have an unbelievable ark that I think

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.750
will be the most beautiful in the world

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:15.589
being built there. And this space will

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.510
be the president's sculpture garden with

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.030
250 statues of historic Americans. And

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:22.550
of course, here at the White House,

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.390
where the president has demolished the

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.630
east wing and is building a massive

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.670
90,000 square foot ballroom and hints of

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.910
another project just behind us. That's a

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:34.390
temporary installation on the south lawn

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.309
where the president will host a UFC

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.309
fight. Inside the White House, the

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.390
president has also flexed his design

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.390
muscles, built a presidential walk of

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.390
fame along the White House colonade,

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.869
gilded the Oval Office, and paved over

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.110
the Rose Garden, creating a Mara Lago

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.430
type patio. But Trump's aesthetic

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:54.150
ambitions are hitting multiple hurdles.

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:56.390
Americans are overwhelmingly unhappy

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.390
with many of the changes. There is

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.070
concern on Capitol Hill about the

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.550
growing cost of all the construction and

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.149
the White House has been hit with at

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.390
least multiple lawsuits challenging

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.309
whether Trump can move forward without

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.710
proper approvals. Despite all this,

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.589
Trump is pushing forward fast.

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.670
>> Did you know America's most famous

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.350
monument is literally two different

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.509
colors because the country ran out of

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:23.910
money? The Washington Monument honoring

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:25.830
the United States first President George

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.270
Washington is the 555 foot marble

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.070
obelisk towering over Washington DC.

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.509
This was the tallest building in the

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:36.710
world upon its completion in 1884. But

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:38.229
here's where the story gets wild.

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:40.229
Construction stopped for more than 20

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:41.910
years because of political chaos and

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:43.830
lack of funding during the Civil War era

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.710
in the 1860s. When the project resumed,

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:49.270
the workers had to use marble from a

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.670
different quarry, lending to that famous

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.509
color change we see halfway up there

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.750
today. Is basically America's biggest

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.149
construction patch job.

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.630
The World Cup kicks off Thursday with

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.710
Mexico and South Africa starting the

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:07.030
party and fans are ready. Thousands

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:09.030
gathered in Mexico City to take part in

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:11.589
a massive human wave over the weekend.

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.670
You know the move, one section stands,

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.509
then another, then another. The

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:17.030
phenomenon was actually born in the

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.710
United States before becoming one of

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.949
soccer's most beloved traditions during

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.390
the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Officials

00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:26.390
believe these fans set a new Guinness

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.629
World Record on Saturday for largest

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:35.749
human wave ever.

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.310
Mexico City is one of 16 host cities

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:39.990
welcoming matches across the United

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.469
States, Canada, and Mexico. Over in

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:44.870
Mexico's Noeo Leon state, the governor

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:47.830
passed out some as gifts to members of

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:50.230
Japan's team just after their arrival in

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.430
Mterrey. I'll be in LA for the US team's

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:57.189
opening match on Friday. Vamos. A Nepali

00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.430
Sherpa who went missing for 6 days on

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:01.990
Mount Everest without food or oxygen has

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.310
been found alive. Officials spotted

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:07.430
52-year-old Dawa Sherpa above base camp

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:09.430
and brought him down to safety last

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:11.670
Thursday. He had been guiding a Polish

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.590
climber when the pair failed to reach

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.830
the summit. Somewhere between camp 3 and

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.870
camp 4, the two became separated. How is

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.110
unclear. The discovery came near the end

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.350
of Everest's climbing season when only a

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.270
handful of climbers remained on the

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.110
mountain. The Sherpa was rushed to the

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.950
hospital. His family says he's in good

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:30.710
condition overall and is being treated

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.950
for frostbite and other complications.

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:36.870
Pop quiz hot shot. Which battle is

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:38.469
generally considered the first major

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:40.550
battle of the American Revolution?

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.950
Bunker Hill, Yorktown, Saratoga, or

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:47.670
Trenton?

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.430
If you said Bunker Hill, you're a

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.590
patriot powerhouse. Despite the name,

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.230
most of the fighting in 1775 actually

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.390
happened on nearby Breeds Hill, closer

00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:58.710
to Boston. Just in time for America's

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.870
250th birthday, a team of Boston

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:02.870
archaeologists are digging to solve some

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:05.029
major mysteries about the Revolutionary

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:07.430
War. Historians say the maps showing

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:09.350
exactly where parts of the Battle of

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.070
Bunker Hill unfolded don't always agree.

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:13.990
Now volunteers, many veterans

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.909
themselves, are searching for clues

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:18.070
underground, trying to answer questions

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:19.830
that have remained unsolved for more

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:22.309
than two centuries.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.270
251 years after the Battle of Bunker

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:27.270
Hill, there's still a lot we can learn

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:28.950
about the bloodiest day of the

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:30.469
Revolution.

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:32.390
That's if you're willing to dig for it.

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:33.830
>> Um, we've got two different trenches

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:35.110
open right now. Those are the places

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.390
where we've seen in the radar.

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:39.590
>> Joe Bagley is Boston city archaeologist.

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.189
He's leading the team looking for

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.309
evidence of the readout. A hastily built

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.550
earthn fort constructed by colonial

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.870
soldiers in the dead of night on the eve

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:51.110
of the 1775 battle.

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.550
>> Many maps have been drawn, but they all

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.749
disagree with each other. So, we're

00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.990
really hoping to kind of lock in exactly

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.950
where it was located and if we can um

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:01.430
figure out exactly what it looked like.

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:03.270
>> This is one of the first archaeological

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:05.670
surveys ever done on this part of Breeds

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:06.230
Hill.

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.029
>> I'm uh screening dirt. So all the dirt

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:11.430
we scoop out of the holes, we we put

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:12.230
them in here.

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.749
>> Much of the crew digging up this

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.150
historic battlefield are veterans, part

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.070
of a group which helps them transition

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:20.070
to careers in archaeology. And

00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:21.670
>> I think as a veteran, you do draw kind

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.189
of a family connection to the

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.710
individuals who fought and in a lot of

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.110
cases died on sites like this. So what

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.629
we really try to do with the archaeology

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.629
is make it less about kind of that huge

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.230
picture and more about those individual

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.309
stories that archaeology can really tell

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.909
based off those artifacts that we're

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:37.589
finding in the ground. And this is just

00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:39.830
day two of a twoeek long dig. And

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:41.909
they've already found some incredible

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:43.110
artifacts.

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.469
>> This is a really good cross-section of

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:45.749
all the different stories here.

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.230
>> A 400-year-old Native American stone

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.550
tool, a piece of a 19th century

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.510
Victorian doll, a mysterious key, and

00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:54.469
the crown jewel,

00:07:54.479 --> 00:07:55.990
>> which is probably the most incredible

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.710
thing so far. Uh, this is a gunfall or a

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.510
gun flint that was used in a musket.

00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:03.350
This is from the Battle of Bunker Hill.

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:04.550
So, this would have actually been here

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.710
during the battle. proof they may soon

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.110
uncover the secrets of the fort that

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.550
lies under the hill.

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.230
>> So, this isn't just the history of the

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.309
battle, it's also the history of Boston.

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:15.990
And so, we're really excited to actually

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.830
see so many pieces of history kind of

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:24.629
connecting all of those stories.

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.469
>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:29.589
300 students, 300 free bikes, and one

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:31.909
bespoke uh way to cruise into summer.

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.670
>> Yo, bro. No, bro. Yes.

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:39.190
>> What do you think, dude?

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.630
>> Good.

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:42.230
>> I'm literally excited.

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.470
>> The nonprofit is called Graduation on

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.150
Wheels. These seven and eight year olds

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:48.870
from 10 DC area schools spent the entire

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:50.949
school year in gym class learning

00:08:50.959 --> 00:08:53.190
everything from proper riding posture,

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.150
navigating traffic, rules of the road to

00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:58.470
bicycle repair and maintenance.

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.710
>> We want them to be lifelong learners. We

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.710
want them to be active for a lifetime,

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.230
not just for the time that they're with

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.310
us. Straighten up. Straighten up.

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.949
>> The best thing is having my own bike

00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:11.829
because I get I get to ride it by myself

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:13.910
and I don't need no help.

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:15.750
>> Once they pass the course, each student

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:18.389
is gifted a free bike, a helmet, and

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.310
bike lock. And not to mention that

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.550
childhood right of passage, riding your

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:24.470
bike in the summertime.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.310
>> This is one of the joys of my life. This

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.470
is this is hundreds and hundreds of kids

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.590
who just get a chance to do something

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.829
that's life-changing.

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:36.230
>> I really like that story. A cycle of

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.990
success. All right, superstars. Couple

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.389
of shoutouts coming at you. Mrs. Jones

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.870
at Weir Middle School in New Hampshire.

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:44.790
Your students wrote to us to say how

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:46.230

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.630

marvelous Monday. Get outside if you

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:02.310
can. Ride a bike. Take a walk. Soak up

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.389
some sunshine or listen to the rain.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.910
Those are things that tend to help us

00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:07.910
feel a little better. I'm Koi Wire and

00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:11.320
