what's up Superstar I'm KY wire this is
CNN 10 it's Friday Fray and it's also
Valentine's Day I'm feeling the love
you're the other half to my equation and
then some without you this shows like a
broken pencil pointless like a ring
without a hand like a beach without sand
I'd go on but we've got to get you your
news so let's go we start today with
inflation which looks to be going in the
wrong direction up reaching its highest
rate since June of last year inflation
remember is an increase in the price of
goods and services inflation reached a
peak of 99.1% in 2022 those high prices
came down some but have stayed
stubbornly High since then the latest
data from the Consumer Price Index or
CPI released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows inflation is reversing
recent progress the CPI measures price
changes across commonly purchased goods
and services since December's report
consumer Prices rose at their fastest
Pace since August of 2023 resulting in
an annual inflation rate of 3% for the
12-month period that ended in January
this all means many commonly purchased
goods and services got more expensive in
January something economists were not
expecting from the report this week
which was estimated to have barely any
change from December's data instead the
January report came in blazing hot
pretty much across the board while
inflation has slowed significantly since
its 40-year peak in 2022 most of the
categories measured saw increases last
month especially energy and food prices
it's an unwelcome surprise at a time
when Americans are growing tired of high
costs of living and food prices and
uncertainty in the economy is building
following the Trump administration's
tariffs and other economic policies it's
really hard to find anything good here
this was a setback a significant one and
one that we were not expecting so the
big number here is 3% that's the annual
inflation rate for January that is the
highest level since June that was not
expected to happen the monthly rate also
ticked higher that is not what you want
digging in core which excludes food and
energy both those figures also went the
wrong direction so why is this happening
well there's number of different drivers
here uh everything from hotels airfare
went higher um eggs egg prices were
actually a significant part of this as
well we know the bird flu is a massive
problem there's an egg shortage so we
saw that egg prices went up by
15% month over month that is the most
that we've seen on a monthly basis since
June of 2015 and look at that on an
annual basis the last 12 months 53%
increase for egg prices that is really
very significant now when we look at the
trend here for inflation the problem is
that the progress has really stalled out
here right now the goal is 2% inflation
we are now at 3% you see there's been a
lot of improvement from that inflation
crisis of three years ago we had 9%
inflation we're not there right now
thankfully but it is ticking higher
right that is the exact wrong direction
that you want to see
pop quiz is Hot Shot what US state has
the official motto of Eureka New York
Idaho Pennsylvania or
California your answer here is
California The Motto Eureka is a Greek
word that means I have found it and it's
been on the state seal since
1849 have you ever heard of the Chumash
people an ancient civilization who for
thousands of years have inhabited an
area in central California between
Malibu and paser Robos since way before
European settlers arrived and while many
Chumash ways of life were lost over time
new generations are Reviving some of the
ancient Traditions like cultivating
native species of plants to use for
their medicinal properties our Julia
Vargas Jones shows us how the Santa Enz
band of the Chumash are passing down the
knowledge of their ancestors to the Next
Generation
under the shade of an old oak tree a
special group assembles to learn ancient
wisdom so we're standing here under this
beautiful oak tree we call this coup and
we're standing in our medicinal
Garden
hakala hello everyone my name is Levi
Zavala I'm from santiz in the shawa clan
somala Chum
[Music]
Mas Levi zavaya is responsible for
passing along indigenous plant knowledge
to his tribe we have all these medicinal
plants as you see behind you right over
here that issh it's the stingy nettle
that's really good medicinal plant right
here we have Onin or Yerba Manza it
almost looks like a carrot right so
check that out smell it look at it
that's really good for liver cleansing
and see our ancestors knew all this they
had so much time to study this the schh
people settled in an untamed and
undeveloped Sant Valley in central
California no less than 13,000 years
ago Diego
Cordo uh my name is Diego Cordo I'm a
Chumash person from Santa Barbara and I
work for the Santa inz trumh
environmental
office Diego Cordo is tasked with
growing and caring for local plants
keeping them intact and thriving for
future Generations he says many Native
Plant populations have declined over
time due to Urban Development and the
effects of climate change the nursery
contains about 3500 plants many of which
possess deep cultural meaning to the
shoos plants like the junus used for
basket weaving and dog Bane for rope and
string we were always raised to say that
these things haven't been lost not dead
they're asleep and our job as true much
people is to wake these things up again
for the students and Elders taking part
in the day's Outdoor Classroom there is
a sense of pride in revitalizing ancient
practices and keeping the Traditions
alive I feel like it's good to know your
culture and where you come from and then
like not only that but also be able to
like learn it so that way you can pass
it on to the next Generation I love
learning about my ancestors love going
to my grandmother's house reading books
with her I like to talk my language to
just kind of show people like the unique
stuff we have and everything for the
Youth to see the elders supporting what
they do it's just a way to know that the
native plants the medicinal teas and
some of the materials needed for basket
weaving can be collected by the
youth and for the teachers like Cordo
and zavaya it's inspiring to know the
long chain of shared knowledge won't
soon be broken I've put a lot of effort
into making this Nursery a space that's
welcoming and accessible for elders and
children it is something that they can
participate in that relationship and
they'll pass that on to Future
Generations these plants helped our
people thrive you guys are the future
you guys are our future and you will be
the ones sharing this knowledge When
We're
[Applause]
