welcome to Time Square in New York with
up to 450,000 visitors each day on the
busiest days this is one of the most
visited tourist destinations in the
world I'm Coy wire this is cnn1 and it's
your word Wednesday so listen up to see
if the vocabulary word you submitted
helped us write Today's Show all right
let's get to the news a new warning this
week from two scientific groups they say
record-breaking ocean temperatures are
causing a mass bleaching event that is
damaging coral reefs around the world
Coral bleaching is where Coral loses its
color and becomes completely white that
doesn't mean the coral is dead but it is
under significant stress and has a
higher chance of dying this is happening
in large portions of the Atlantic
Pacific and Indian oceans according to
two scientific bodies the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
or Noah and the international Coral
wreath initiative this would Mark the
fourth time the world has seen a major
bleaching event but experts are warning
this one could become the worst in
recorded history CNN's Zayn Asher met
one man who noticed his local Reef was
dying and he wanted to do something
about it scientists and professors urged
him to get a degree to learn more about
the issue but he couldn't wait at the
age of 18 he found a few Island brothers
and sisters and started Coral gardeners
Let's Travel to an island in French
Polynesia to meet his
team this is Tia one of three permanent
ocean-based Coral nurseries in
Mora as Coral gardeners both by company
name and by profession these sites are
at the core of what they do on a daily
basis coal gardening is the coolest
thing on earth you are underwater there
is nobody talking you hear the sound of
the parot fish like the noise of the
Waves you have those thousands of little
Coral fragments and you have the fish
they become your co-workers it's some
something so tangible it's such a
rewarding feeling to see your tiny Coral
fragment
growing first on the day to-do list is
installing new underwater foundations a
task assigned to gardeners lock and
Yan I think that's that's the most
physic
[Music]
part meanwhile team members Hannah and
salame collect data from the nearly
6,000 pieces growing in this part of the
nursery
alone we're looking at the overall
health of uh each fragment for any signs
of predation or disease and bleaching
signs as well and then the last part is
out of all the corals that are growing
we have a sub sample that we follow and
monitor for
growth right now is also outplanting
season meaning there are healthy and
heat resilient Coral ready to be
relocated back onto the damaged Reef I
was with my bu Ma and we're planting
those beautiful poop verosa so the pinky
Coral we were choosing the right spots
removing the algaes placing the big mod
colony of coral from coming from our
nurseries and then using the coral clips
to uh to attach them then Marine cement
and it's really satisfying
here and the cycle continues by
refilling the
nursery let's go collect some
corals so right now we are at the donor
site that's the place where we are
collecting fragments of corals coming
from Big Mother Colony that are are more
resilient they survive to all the last
bleaching events and the plan right now
is that we're going to play
on on RS in the coral Nursery to
preserve the health of the colony
they'll take no more than 10% Tano and I
will create a coral
rope that's the process of coral
gardening we have the tag Nursery number
two rope number one that's how we do all
the scientific monitoring behind and
they say on average it will take 12 to
18 months for those fragments to grow
big and healthy enough to make it back
onto the nearby reef and there you go
it was our dream one day to have a job
where you get paid to be on the water
and taking care of the place we love the
most 10c trivia which of these cities is
known as the city of light Marseilles
Paris Strasburg or
Pau if you chose parents then Ooh La La
we we the capital of France is hailed as
one of the world's cultural and
Commercial centers and is often referred
to as the city of light we are just 100
days away from the 2024 Olympic Games in
Paris I'm here in New York to interview
some of the August athletes who will be
repping Team USA you'll hear from them
soon but today we're looking to Paris As
It prepares for some 15 million visitors
this summer to get ready the city is
restoring the grand pet one of its
iconic
monuments the Parisian Skyline is filled
with famous
Silhouettes but this building the one
with the largest glass roof in Europe
leaves a lasting impression the grand
[Music]
pet in its more than 120 year history
this landmarked Behemoth of iron steel
and glass has hosted countless art
exhibition misss equestrian performances
and fashion shows including perhaps most
famously Chanel but much of the building
has been closed off to the public and
Paris now plans to restore and reveal
some of the long hidden Halls of the
grand p in time for the 2024 Summer
Olympics in addition to reopening the
galleries the team is also restoring A
View From the retunda that no one has
seen since 1939 by removing a wall which
separated the main Nave from the pet de
la deou
the final phase of the renovation will
continue through 2025 but they hope to
finish Phase 1 in time for the Olympic
Games here it will be it will be just
here uh in the middle in the center of
the of the perspective and to see that
and the public will be there on on the
right and on the
left it will be something very beautiful

we have a near catastrophe that sent one
Fel line flying through the air a
scaredy-cat turned rocket ship is
perfection our Genie Mo has
more we've done stories on an enormous
cat and on a slap happy cat slapping a
judge at a cat show but this blur across
your your
screen this is the flying cat meet Remy
a Chicago area Bengal
cat two-year-old Remy went behind some
hanging coats his housemate Lucy the Cat
decided to come play but when Lucy
knocked a coat off the hook Remy went
bonkers the cat was fine he landed on
this an interactive cat toy commenters
were ustruck saying my cat has wings
they called him the Michael Jordan of
cats but I've never seen him get air
like that in my life the dog of the
house Maggie was singled out online for
her chill reaction and just looks at my
boyfriend like there they go again the
stratospheric leap went explosively
viral and many labeled Remy the very
definition of a scaredy cat but Remy
took being jumpy to a whole new level
