Hey, kid news fans! Need to get your

0:04

kids organized for that big news story they're

0:07

about to break? Maybe get them

0:09

up to speed on the importance of voting or

0:11

the impact of AI. We've

0:13

just teamed up with some great books and

0:15

brands to bring you products we think they'll

0:17

love. Also in the mix? A

0:20

way to rep kid news with a

0:22

future news reporter t-shirt. Or one with

0:24

the five questions all good journalists must

0:26

answer. Who, what, where, when, and why.

0:29

All the swag and more can be found on our

0:31

new StarGlow store. Just go

0:34

to starglomedia.com/kid news. That's

0:37

starglomedia.com/kid news.

0:40

Happy shopping! Good

0:44

morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm

0:46

Tori. Today is Monday, March 25, 2024.

0:51

And we begin with proof that

0:53

being a sports superstar doesn't save

0:55

you from the televised tough love

0:57

of a parent. The dad of

0:59

Iowa basketball sensation Caitlin Clark was

1:01

none too happy with his daughter

1:03

chirping at refs during Iowa's March

1:05

Madness matchup with Holy Cross on

1:07

Saturday. Towards the end of the

1:09

first half, cameras caught Brent Clark

1:12

yelling at Caitlin to stop complaining.

1:14

And earlier, a CBS reporter heard him

1:16

say, take her out, my gosh, when

1:19

she was struggling with turnovers. Fans

1:21

seem to appreciate the viral dad-daughter moments,

1:23

posting, peak dad move, and every parent

1:26

can relate. Caitlin's Hawkeyes went on to

1:28

win and will face West Virginia in

1:30

the second round tonight. On the men's

1:33

side, the madness is down to the

1:35

sweet 16. Play

1:37

resumes on Thursday. While

1:42

much of the nation's midsection is

1:44

getting slammed by a spring snowstorm,

1:46

there's also some weird weather brewing

1:48

in space. NOAA's Weather

1:50

Prediction Center says a geomagnetic storm

1:52

that began over the weekend has

1:54

the potential to mess with communication

1:57

on Earth, as well as create

1:59

a brilliant display of the aurora

2:01

borealis over the Earth's

2:05

atmosphere creating what are known as the Northern Lights.

2:07

On its five-point

2:10

scale of geomagnetic storms, space experts believe today's

2:12

wave of energy

2:15

could hit a G3 or G4 which could

2:17

allow the light show to be seen as

2:19

far south as Alabama and northern

2:22

California. All the political attention may be on former

2:28

President Donald Trump and current commander-in-chief Joe Biden

2:31

these days but another candidate is determined to

2:33

sneak into the headlines this

2:36

week. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who's charging ahead with his campaign as an

2:41

independent will announce his running mate as early

2:43

as tomorrow. In an interview

2:46

with CNN earlier this month, Mr. Kennedy said his

2:48

choice comes from a shortlist

2:50

that included NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, former

2:52

Minnesota governor and

2:55

pro wrestler Jesse the body Ventura,

2:57

Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard,

3:00

Republican senator Rand Paul and

3:02

former Democratic presidential candidate

3:05

Andrew Yang. For millions of people around the world, today is

3:07

a day to

3:12

slip into old clothes, slather on oil and get

3:14

doused in clouds of color. It's holy.

3:18

The Hindu festival that celebrates the arrival of spring

3:20

and the triumph of good

3:23

over evil. Powders that mimic the rainbow are thrown

3:25

by friends, families, and

3:28

complete strangers in happy meet and greets on

3:30

the street and when people aren't

3:33

tossing powder they're either eating, dancing, praying or

3:35

partying. Holy

3:37

got its start in India but is now global. According to the

3:39

New York Times it's

3:42

celebrated in some parts of the US as well as Fiji, South

3:44

Africa, Britain and other

3:47

parts of Europe. Only one teenager can do

3:49

a quadruple axle

3:53

and that teen is now

3:55

a world champion. William

4:00

Molina also known as the Quad God

4:02

won his first title after completing a

4:04

mind-blowing six quad jumps including his trademark

4:07

axle and a figure skating free skate

4:09

in Montreal over the weekend. He was

4:11

third going into the long program and

4:14

knew he needed the skate of his

4:16

life to win. Not only did he

4:18

win, he also set a new record

4:21

with his point total all the more

4:23

remarkable because he told reporters he was

4:25

having physical and mental challenges in the

4:28

weeks leading up to worlds. There was

4:30

a little voice in my head no

4:32

matter what you have to keep fighting,

4:34

keep going no matter how bad you

4:37

feel you just have to know what

4:39

you're capable of. Now everyone knows Ilya

4:41

also told reporters that a quintuple jump

4:43

which is five full airborne rotations may

4:46

be next on his to-do list. Still

4:51

to come? A famous actor says yes

4:53

he will pay a prom day visit

4:55

to students at a Utah high school.

4:58

But first we want to give a

5:00

13th birthday shout-out to math whiz Nathan

5:02

Hopkins of Roxbury, New Jersey. Nathan your

5:04

mom, dad, grammy and grandpa are in

5:06

awe of how well you juggle martial

5:09

arts, boy scouts and swimming while also

5:11

staying on the honor roll at Eisenhower

5:13

Middle School. Way to go Nathan we

5:15

hope you have a great day. Now

5:18

today's kid news quiz. Which

5:21

basketball superstar got a courtside scolding

5:24

from her dad? Kaitlyn

5:30

Clark for arguing with March

5:33

Madness referees. What

5:35

kind of weather could bring Arctic Lights to

5:37

the northern US? A

5:44

geomagnetic storm in space. A

5:48

rainbow of powder gets thrown

5:50

by millions today celebrating what

5:52

holiday? The

5:57

Hindu Festival of Holy. How.

6:00

Many quadruple Jones did U S Keen

6:02

Ilia Molina land en route to his

6:05

World Championship. In figure skating. Sex.

6:12

including his trademark quad

6:14

axle. In Today's Kidneys

6:16

Kicker actor Kevin Bacon is returning to

6:18

where it all began. Footloose. The movie

6:21

that first made him famous was shot

6:23

at Pace in High School in Utah.

6:25

Forty years ago students they are made

6:28

for a year and included recreating movie

6:44

scenes, filming flash mobs. And holding

6:46

fundraisers for his Six degrees.org charity but

6:48

did a show. Virtually connected Mr. Big

6:51

to the kids last Friday when he

6:53

told them it hasn't gone unnoticed by

6:55

me, that you're trying to figure out

6:57

ways to give back to your community.

7:00

It's really inspirational so thank you, thank
