hello sunshine Welcome to CNN 10 I'm Koi
Wire It's Thursday April 10th Happy
Friday Eve and happy National Siblings
Day If you're in the US or Canada let
your brother or sister know you love
them today no matter how annoying they
might be sometimes Random thought
Thursday Why don't we call the
toothbrush a toothbrush and why do
doctors call what they do practice
shouldn't they be pretty darn good at
what they do by now all right we've got
lots of news to get to and only 10
minutes to do it So let's get to it We
begin today with an update on the
sweeping tariffs that President Trump's
administration has placed on trading
partners around the world As a reminder
tariffs are simply a tax placed on goods
from other countries They've been around
for centuries and are often used to
protect domestic industries and to
generate revenue Now after last week's
announcement President Trump says he is
ordering a 90-day pause on all
reciprocal tariffs The exception is
China who will actually see tariffs
increased to 125% These were announced
in response to Chinese leaders declaring
84% retaliatory tariffs on US goods US
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant said
Trump's decision to pause these tariffs
rewarded nations who chose not to
retaliate amid a brewing trade war and
will allow time to negotiate new trade
agreements But the economic uncertainty
resulting from the tariff back and forth
are causing ripple effects on the wider
global economy with some investors
predicting a bare market which is a
period where a major stock index like
the NASDAQ or Dow Jones falls 20% or
more from a recent high We've asked our
Matt Egan to walk us through what
happens during a bare market and explain
how they've played out historically on
Wall Street Markets are melting down and
everyone is talking about a bare market
The NASDAQ is in a bare market now
nearing a bare market On pace for a bare
market but what exactly is it a bare
market is a 20% drop from a recent high
These steep market declines typically
signal immense fear among investors
about the health of the economy Since
1929 there have been 18 bare markets for
the S&P 500 The average drop about 37%
Some bare markets were less severe some
more Some of them like in 1990 were
caused by war Others were fueled by the
bursting of asset bubbles Like in 2000
the internet mania was a giant bubble
Toxic mortgages were to blame for the
2008 meltdown A breathtaking plunge for
stock markets The Dow drops by 800
points And a deadly virus crashed
markets in 2020 This time it
self-inflicted President Trump's trade
war has freaked out investors around the
world causing enormous losses in rapid
fashion For now investors are selling
first and they're asking questions later
We go now to Britain's second largest
city Birmingham which is facing a
growing mess of a problem which includes
rats as big as cats That's what some
residents are saying Mountains of
garbage bags they're piling up on the
streets of Birmingham as garbage
collectors are on strike over a pay
dispute with the city council CNN's Anna
Kubin went out to find out more about
what has become this growing health
problem because of rotting garbage and
rat
infestations Birmingham is Britain's
second biggest city home to over a
million people It was an engine of the
country's industrial revolution during
the 17 and 1800s And you may know it as
the setting of that little BBC series
Peaky Blinders Right now it's in the
news for something else
trash Mountains upon mountains of
garbage bags are piling up outside
people's homes and businesses because
garbage collectors are on strike The
strike is over changes the city
government wants to make to garbage
workers pay and there is no end in sight
In some parts of the city people haven't
had their garbage collected in weeks and
that's posing a health hazard because
with trash comes rats Will Tims has been
a pest controller here for 12 years and
says he's never seen anything quite like
this before My calls are going up 50%
with rodents What kind of problems are
people calling you up about rats gaining
access to cars uh gaining access to the
kitchens air vents getting underneath
the beds I've had people crying down the
phone saying "I've got a rat Can you
come out now?" I caught one last week
and it was over 22 in in length from tip
to tail and it wasn't fully
grown Look at this See you can smell it
Look where it is
Oh right by a pharmacy Right by a
pharmacy And there's a school there How
does it make you feel that all of the
attention on Birmingham right now is
about the bin strike birmingham's always
in the news but some are bad at the
moment and it just really isn't like
that
Pop quiz hot shot A NASA engineer is
credited with inventing what popular toy
slinky Silly Putty Super Soaker or Game
Boy
if you said Super Soaker you are super
smart Former NASA scientist Dr Lonnie
Johnson was working on a new idea for a
heat pump He was inspired by a shooting
jet of water leading to the invention of
that popular summer toy Now to news out
of Washington DC where an unconventional
pick to be the head of NASA faced
questions from members of a Senate
committee President Trump nominated a
billionaire CEO named Jared Isaacman to
head the space agency He's actually been
to space twice paying to go aboard
private SpaceX capsules including the
world's first all civilian extended
space flight During the hearing Isaacman
faced wide-ranging questions about how
NASA's priorities might change under his
leadership And Isaacman was specifically
asked how he would handle NASA's mission
to focus on the moon versus interest in
exploring Mars
We don't have to make a a binary
decision of moon versus Mars or moon has
to come first verse Mars I think we
could be paralleling these efforts and
doing the near impossible which is
exactly why the American uh taxpayers
funded NASA in the first place NASA's
current Artemis program aims to return
astronauts to the lunar surface and
eventually create a permanent human
settlement on the moon Our Jackie
Waddles has more about Isaac men and
what his nomination could mean for the
future of space travel Welcome everybody
to Crew Dragon Resilience This tech
billionaire could be the next head of
NASA Jared Isaacman the CEO of tech
payment company Shift 4 has commanded
and funded two private missions to space
through SpaceX He's an unorthodox pick
for an agency that is typically led by
scientists engineers academics or public
servants So what does the choice say
about where the agency may head under
Trump here are some possibilities The
first big question will NASA prioritize
the moon or Mars a lot of NASA's focus
since Trump's first administration has
been on the Aremis moon program whose
goals are to return astronauts to the
lunar surface for the first time in more
than 50 years The program has faced
several setbacks and delays And now this
Trump administration which has seen
substantial new support from SpaceX CEO
Elon Musk may have its sight set
elsewhere We will pursue our manifest
destiny into the stars launching
American
astronauts to plant the stars and
stripes on the planet Mars Mars has been
a longtime focus of Musk and Isaacman is
his close ally Some may say too close
His company shift for payments invested
almost $30 million in SpaceX a few years
ago So will more NASA resources shift to
SpaceX and by extension toward a Mars
mission NASA already relies heavily on
commercial partnerships For example the
agency invests in both SpaceX and Jeff
Bezos's company Blue Origin to develop
human lunar landers something Isaac men
has criticized as a waste of money Some
of that funding he says could be put
towards other scientific programs
Perhaps NASA's efforts to return a rock
sample from Mars that may reveal if life
existed there An observatory to hunt for
habitable worlds or other space-based
telescopes A lot remains unknown as 2025
kicks off with new leadership And what
direction the US takes could have a
major impact on this modern space race
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10
Three prehistoric direwolves brought
back from extinction Dallas based
company Colossal Biosciences revealed
they created a hybrid species of wolf
that died out thousands of years ago How
old you might ask well the company says
it took DNA from a 13,000-year-old
direwolf tooth and a
72,000year-old skull then cloned and
altered the genes of a greywolf the
direwolf's closest living relative
That's a lot to unpack The three pups
are a hybrid species that appear to be
similar to the extinct wolf The company
says two male direwolf pups were born
last October and a female pup was born
this January That's dogone awesome and
pretty cute Colossal has also been
working toward resurrecting other
extinct species like the mammoth the
dodo and the Tasmanian tiger Not sure
how I feel about all this if Jurassic
and me What say you all right it's time
now for the best part of the show You
This shout out goes to Sam Barlo High
