Hello friends let's get our energy up up
up and take some time on this terrific
Tuesday to give a shout out to all the
teachers out there who are uplifting
informing and inspiring us every day so
be sure to give your teacher a handshake
a high five a fist bump let them know I
see you I'm Koy this is CNN 10 the best
10 minutes in news up we start by taking
you out to California where many fast
food workers just got a pay raise that's
because of a new law that went into
effect on Monday one that requires all
fast food restaurants to pay their
employees at least $20 per hour there
are more than half a million fast food
workers in California and many of them
aren't teenagers working an after school
job they're adults looking to keep a
roof over their heads and food on their
tables and just this week many of them
just got a 25% pay bump but not everyone
is ready to order a Happy Meal after
hearing this news many of these chain
restaurants they're not owned by the
larger Corporation they're owned by
franchisees so they're more like small
businesses and these franchise store
owners they're worried that the increase
in Pay will make it too expensive to run
their business meaning they'll have to
maybe lay some people off or stop plans
to open new stores or even close some of
their existing stores but some
researchers are questioning those fears
around pay increases they state that
over the past decade California doubled
its minimum wage ending up at the
current $16 per hour and during that
time the data shows that the increase in
Pay did not lead to a lot of layoffs or
a Slowdown in the pace of hiring however
companies like Jack in the Box Starbucks
McDonald's and Chipotle say they're
going to raise prices in a state that's
already one of the most expensive places
to live in the country all right next we
take you out onto the Patapsco River to
see the remnants of the Francis Scott
Key bridge in Baltimore as you may
remember last Tuesday in the early
morning hours a freight ship crashed
into a pillar of the famed Bridge
causing it to collapse officials say
that a group of six men working an
overnight shift fixing potholes died
when it collapsed Gloria pasino has more
on what's next for the city of
Baltimore so you can see we have been
able to get extremely up close to the
wreckage of the Del and we're starting
to really get a an appreciation and a
sense of just how massive this job is
going to be you're looking at
4,000 tons of steel and concrete that
are sitting on top of that bowel that is
going to be the most complicated part of
this operation moving all of that debris
and taking it off the ship so that they
can begin this cleanup process and then
there's everything that's laying below
the surface the part that we can't see
there is more metal more more concrete
more debris in the water and that's
going to be critical because they have
to be able to make that safe for the
divers whose mission it is to get back
into the water and continue searching uh
uh to attempt to recover the bodies of
those who were lost but as we're sitting
here uh you know now finally being able
to really see it and get up close to it
uh you really just get a sense of of the
enormity of the job at hand but all the
officials here have told us that they
are confident that they're going to be
able to get it done they're working
together they have all of the technology
necessary and they're going step by step
taking a meticulous approach to make
sure that they get it right and that
eventually they can reopen the port they
can start rebuilding and that this
important symbol for the city of
Baltimore and the city of Baltimore and
the state of Maryland can get cleaned up
and the people here can start getting
back to normal I'm glor pasino
CNN Pop Quiz Hot Shot which animal is
often depicted as a villain in
children's stories and can be heard from
more than 5 miles away a lion a wolf a
dolphin or a
snake wolf is your answer here they've
created havoc in the boy who cried wolf
Little Red Riding Hood in The Three
Little Pigs just to name a few oh sorry
just uh getting reintroduced to my inner
wolf and that's a lot like what's
happening in Colorado where people voted
to reintroduce wolves back into their
state that's the first time ever in the
country's history that a state has voted
on this kind of ballot initiative but as
Lucy kavanov shows us after the vote
passed by a slim margin some folks in
the more rural parts of the state
weren't exactly howling with
joy humans adapting with Wolves is going
to be the biggest obstacle that we're
going to be dealing with after being
nearly eradicated from Colorado about 80
years ago wolves are officially back in
the state thanks to the first ever voer
mandated reintroduction of endangered
wolves in US history these wolves
captured in Oregon were set free in
Colorado's Wilderness last
December you are
hungry I never thought I'd be able to
get so close to a wolf she's a very
special Ambassador Kelly Murphy the
Animal Care supervisor at the Colorado
wolf and Wildlife Center is one of the
Advocates who's helped bring wolves back
to the state obviously this is not an
interaction we'd ever have in the wild
right absolutely if you see a wolf in
the wild Our advice is to take a picture
and consider yourself lucky because it's
probably never going to happen again
some 2 million gray wolves once roamed
freely throughout North America but when
European settlers arrived they brought
their oldw world myths and hatred of
wolves with them by the 1940s wolves
were nearly wiped out there's so many
myths and misconceptions that are
surrounding founding wolves sometimes
it's difficult to understand that
they're not exactly true as an apex
predator at the top of the food chain
they help keep certain animal
populations in check which in turn helps
plants trees and other Wildlife
Thrive they are critical to maintaining
the balance of our ecosystems and that
means that it's a more productive
landscape for ranchers to also graze
their cattle so what did the wolf do to
this specific cow so he got a hold of
her by the throat and then he got a hold
of her by the hind leg it's healed a
lot Don gson was spending off wolf
incursions on his Ranch in Northern
Colorado long before the ballot
initiative we had wolves here for
several years they've been coming from
neighboring Wyoming which reintroduced
wolves in the 9s to me this is my home
to them this is their
home and they're not just going to
leave
see these marks in the snow here are
those the wolf trucks that's the last
time it came through in Colorado the
wolf free introduction proposition
barely passed with most of the votes in
favor of free introduction coming from
urban areas like Denver and Boulder
people have very strong opinions about
wolves and it doesn't matter what side
they're
on but here in rural Colorado there's no
confusing which side they're on the
state compensates ranchers for livestock
attacks
but because it's illegal to hunt wolves
in Colorado dawn has had to get creative
using donkeys they bite and they bite
hard
Longhorns and shooting blanks as for
fencing it's a pretty big place to put a
fence around yeah 8ft chain link fence
to Keep the Wolves out I have moose I
have mule deer I have elk and I have
antalope that cross this country to
migrate back and forth and I would
absolutely stop them from doing that and
U I'm not willing to do that you care
about this
landscape
MH so you don't manage things one
species at a time we don't want to just
leave it to the ranchers to deal with
that on their own there are a lot of
organizations and NOS that are willing
to help Implement those non-lethal
measures because at the end of the today
ranchers and wolf Advocates want the
same thing we all want clean air clean
spaces and healthy environment and
ecosystem and I think that wolves are a
very key element into making that
[Applause]
happen today's story getting a 10 out of
10 we're headed to an elementary school
in Nevada where a teacher took a very

after collecting nearly 1,000 unopened
boxes of cereal donated by parents Roger
Becker had his fifth grade students line
them up and knock him down look at him
