hello lovely people I'm kyi wire welcome
to CNN 10 it's Wednesday December 4th
and that means one of you helped us
write Today's Show so listen up to see
if we chose your unique word to help
boost our vocab today we've got an
action pack show 10 minutes of news
let's get to it we start in South Korea
where president Yun Yol declared martial
law in a surprise TV address on Tuesday
in short martial law is a temporary rule
by military authorities in a time of
emergency Yun is accusing the country's
main opposition party of sympathizing
with North Korea by taking actions he
says are aimed at inciting a rebellion
following the announcement protests were
seen outside the Parliament and South
Korea's Parliament had voted to block
martial law this is a veloping story and
we'll have more on this in tomorrow's
show next today concerns are being
raised over facial recognition
technology being powered by artificial
intelligence used to identify a person
from an image or video now it's
technology that's been around for quite
some time and it's part of some of our
daily lives we might use it to unlock
our phones access our virtual wallets
maybe even prove our identity to getting
a shorter line at the airport the
convenience and security it offers are
driving factors in its growing use but
while facial recognition technology is
becoming more difficult to avoid in
today's world it is not foolproof The
Tech raises privacy concerns especially
if facial images are collected without
consent sometimes individuals can be
misidentified due to factors like
lighting or angles and did you know that
there have been occasions where that has
led to the wrong people being accused of
crimes algorithms can also carry the
biases of the people who build them
leading to some demographics being
targeted more than others on top of all
of this there is little regulation over
the technology and no guardrails
governing how this sensitive data is
collected stored and who has access to
it so some have concerns about the data
falling into the hands of people with
unscrupulous intentions CNN's Sarah
Sider sat down with the CEO of clear the
company that uses facial recognition and
other biom data like fingerprints to
FasTrack your experience at the airport
here's why she thinks facial recognition
should be part of everyone's everyday
Lifey Karen Sidman Becker is the CEO of
clear you know the company with the
kiosks at the airport that allows you to
skip the other lines for a fee so your
company is really sort of a disruptor
type of company it's there it's
different you go you get your eyes
scanned you get your finger scanned but
once it got really popular popular then
we as customers started getting
frustrated because the lines started
getting long what are you doing about
that I always say we're obsessed with
the member experience we look at data
all day long we can see tons of Trends
this has been a period of improved
member experience over 2024 we expect to
see that accelerate over the next 12
months as we roll out our face first
technology which is really awesome it's
in about 12 airports today it's been two
weeks and it is uh you know five times
as fast we asked to see that new tech so
you're in line
somewhere it was too fast I'm
done we clocked it less than two seconds
I think the coolest thing that we're
working on is really the concept of the
secure identity Network how could this
end up making life easier not just at
the airport not only can it make life
easier it is making life easier so we
want to go for using it multiple times a
year in airports to multiple times a day
today let's just say you live in LA you
could use it getting into an Uber for
ryer verification within the rider app
and then let's say you're going to the
int Dome to watch a Clippers game with
just your face and clear right because
you are your age and your payment you
could check in at a doctor's office with
your face you're there for your
appointment what I see as the ultimate
check in at the doctor's office is your
face is your appointment it's your
insurance card that's verified and
validated and then it is also your
co-pay and your credit card going Pop
Quiz out shot what aquatic soft-bodied
invertebrates have growth rings similar
to tree trunks that can determine their
age jellyfish see an enemy Coral or
octopus answer is coral a colony of
small animals which have similar ring
light growth patterns to trees visible
within their skeletons
[Music]
throughout this week call to Earth is
turning the spotlight on French
Polynesia and an organization working to
restore coral reef ecosystems around the
world Tian bernot started Coral
gardeners in 2017 cogitating over
healthier oceans when he was just 18
years old as part of the Rolex Perpetual
Planet initiative they are on a mission
to plant 1 million corals worldwide by
the end of 2025 a strategy they've
dubbed Odyssey
2025 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 Coral garding is the coolest thing
on earth you are under water 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 loic and
yoan I think that's that's the most
physical part
[Music]
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 subsample that we follow and
monitor for
growth right now is Al outplanting
season meaning there are healthy and
heat resilient Coral ready to be
relocated back onto the damaged
Reef to preserve the health of the
colony they'll take no more than 10%
Tano and I will create a coral
R 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 fr segments 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 and we just made it happen
it wasn't a job but now it's it's real
conservation is not obliged to be a
part-time job only volunteering you can
wake up every morning with one single
priority and focus how to save the most
important place on

Earth today's story getting a 10 out of
10 is spaghetti so thin you can walk
right pasta and not even see it I know
this may sound Preposterous but
scientists have created a nano pasta
invisible to the naked eye while it may
not make for a filling dinner Nano
pasta's uses are full of possibilities
all right I'm done here's CNN's Jeremy
Roth scientists at a UK University have
created spaghetti so thin it's literally
invisible to the naked eye according to
a published study chemists at University
College London successfully created
nanop pasta spaghetti strands 200 times
thinner than a human hair but how well
where traditionally spaghetti is made by
pushing a flower water mixture through a
metal press the study says nanop pasta
is made by pulling threads of flour and
liquid through the tip of a needle by an
electric charge producing strands so
incredibly small they can't be seen by
the human eye or even conventional
cameras and microscopes the scientists
say they don't see the process being
useful for making palatable pasta
instead seeing potential for creating
things like smart bandages and aiding
bone
Regeneration all right you all submitted
so many good words for today's show that
we had to pick two of them congrats to
Daniel in Monroe Louisiana at Neville
High School in coach Reynolds class for
unscrupulous having or showing no moral
principles well done sir and Mrs
Gibson's class at Bernice iron Middle
School you submitted cogitate a verb
meaning to think deeply about something
thank you for making us two words
smarter today our school shout out today
is going to those Titans at Northwest
cabis Middle School in conquered North
Carolina rise up have an awesome day
everyone we'll see you right back here
