Azia: Hey guys. It is Thursday, September 10. I am Azia Celestino and Channel One News starts right now.

Let’s start off with headlines. And first up, thousands of students in Seattle, Washingtondidn't have to go to their first day of school yesterday because their teachers weren't in class.

The teachers voted to strike and not show up for class,just hours before kids were supposed to head back to school. So, about 53,000 students in the Seattle school district started the year with no classes. Instead, the teachers were holding signs in protest.

They are negotiating with the school district on things like pay raises, teacher evaluations, and the length of the school day. And the strike could last for a while, as both sides, the Seattle school district and the union representing the teachers, have no plans to meet again this week.
It is a story that continues to dominate on social media, two Texas high school football players suspended from their team and their school after being caught on camera apparently tackling a referee on purpose. And now, it is being treated as an assault on a school official.

It all started at this game on Friday night. A player ran at the referee from behind and tackled him to the ground. A second player then dove on top of him, helmet first.
Brian Woods: We will treat the incident, where those twoyoung men attacked the umpire on the field, as an assault on a school official.
Azia: As the investigation continues, teachers, students and coaches are being interviewed.
San Antonio school officials say the two students accused the ref of directing racial slurs at them. The players also said an assistant football coach made a comment to them about retaliating against the referee. That coach is now on leave during the investigation.

The two football players could also face criminal assault charges.

Last up.The Minnesota dentist, who killed the famous lion Cecil, returned to work after spending weeks away from his office.

On Tuesday morning, Walter Palmer came back to work, passing cameras and protesters outside his dental office. This is his first week back at work, two months after he killed Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe, one of Africa's most famous lions.
Palmer has repeatedly claimed no one in his hunting party knew who the lion was, and that he applied for proper hunting permits. But protesters continue to make their presence known outside his office even two months after Cecil was killed.

All right, coming up, it is the story of one queen who refuses to let it go.

She is a woman who was never expected to rule. But she rose to the thrown as queen of England andis the world's oldest serving monarch. And yesterday, Queen Elizabeth II made history again. Tom Hanson has a look at the decades of achievement.

Tom: In 63 years, 217 days on the job as the face of one of the most powerful nations on Earth, you learn a thing or two.
Queen Elizabeth II: Inevitably, a long life can pass by many milestones. My own is no exception.

Tom: And what a milestone it was for Queen Elizabeth II. Yesterday, she set a record as the longest serving monarch in the history of the United Kingdom.
To secure the throne of the title, Queen Elizabeth had to beat outQueen Victoria, King George III, King Henry III, King Edward III, Queen Elizabeth I, and the list goes on and on and on.

The queen doesn't only understand the job; many say she has defined it.
Robert Hardman: The queen is not elected. She is there to be not to do.
Tom: True.The queen is the face of the U.K.And she has been just about everywhereand met just about everyone--11 of the past 12 U.S. presidents, somehow missing out on President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Male: She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.
Tom: It is a role it seems she was bornto do. She has had the job since the age of 25.
Queen Elizabeth II: I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service.
Tom: And Elizabeth II has seen a lot of changes in her 60 years as queen, including modernizing the monarchy.
Roya Nikkhah: The first monarch who opened her accounts to be scrutinized, the first monarch in this country who paid income tax, the first monarch to go with the times and introduce things like you know, Facebook, Twitter.
Tom: While the British monarch still serves as the official head of state, the royal family's role is more about influence than it is power. In fact, she only has a few duties as queen, like opening Parliament, meeting with the prime minister, and hosting foreign leaders.‪But it is the prime minister and Parliament that make and enforce the country's laws, similar to our president and Congress.

Hardman: She's had to do lots of disagreeable things. Her government has made her have all sorts of horrible people to stay; dictators, megalomaniacs.‪
Tom: British taxpayers pay for things like staff and security for the royals to act as heads of state. But the monarchy's personal expenses aren’t directly supported by the taxpayers. They have their own wealth and investments.

The monarchy is a big draw for tourists, and really, for everyone around the world.
Something Queen Elizabeth also knows pretty well.
Sometimes it is small crowds at a suburban train station. Sometimes it is big official occasions. The “just do it” slogan could have been invented for her, and with that smile, through it all.

Azia:And the queen celebrated the big day by just doing her job.She attended the opening ceremony of a new railroad.
All right coming up, we get to chill with a very entrepreneurial teen.

In today's Generation Money, we meet a teenager who started a sweet business that kept everyone cool for the summer. Arielle Hixson has the scoop.

Arielle: Seventeen-year-old Harrison Geller did not take it easy this summer.
Harrison Geller: It is hard work, but it is insanely rewarding.

Arielle: He started his own business, a temporary, pop-up gelato shop in New York City.
Harrison: I always was fascinated by gelato, because you can't really find out how to make it in the U.S. Like, if you look for books on it, they really are quite scarce.
Arielle: It all began a year ago when Harrison and a few classmates went to Italy for a work-study trip on a farm. There, he learned how to make gelato, Italian ice cream, from scratch.
When he came home, he kept up with his new skill, practicing and practicing in his kitchen.
Harrison: I just had friends over and family over to try all this gelato. And they encouraged me to kind of look for a space to start a shop. And a pop-up shop was the best way to do that.
After he found a vacant space and applied for several permits, he finally opened the shop, calling it Polpo Gelato.
Was it hard? Did you have any doubters?

Harrison: It was definitely a hard process to do this while in high school. But in the end, it actually was relatively stress free--the opening, running the actual shop, making the gelato.
Arielle: He has plenty of customers.
Josh Hirschhorn: The chocolate is so rich. It’s amazing. It’s professional. It’s so good.
Arielle: And hired a few friends from school.
Rebecca Mitzner: It has been a lot of fun. He is a really good boss so we have a lot of fun around the shop.
Arielle: But one of the biggest challenges of running his shop is budgeting for the business.
Harrison: For our time in this pop up, we really want to get our product out there. And that means getting more of it to the customers, giving them a better value.
Arielle: Throughout the summer, Harrison had to put his math skills to the test.

Harrison: We priced our gelato. Kind of price pronounced. But the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
Arielle: Since his shop was new, and he wanted to get the word out to more customers. He priced his products low.

Harrison: Ninety cents, I guess you can say, per an ounce for a small cup, would cost about 65 cents for a large cup.
Arielle: His business will be closed at the end of the summer. But this isn't just a one-time stint.
Do you plan to open a gelato business in the future?
Harrison: Yes, definitely. It's not a question of if I'm going to do it. Wherever I go to college, which I'm definitely going to do, I will re-open Polpo, and hopefully permanently.
Arielle: Harrison plans to save some of his profits from the summer and use them for his future business, one scoop at a time.
