Hi, I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10
your objective explanation of world
events trouble at the u.s capitol leads
off today's show
yesterday lawmakers from the house of
representatives and the senate met to
formally count the electoral college
votes from november's presidential
election
while that process was playing out
thousands of people gathered in
washington d.c
to rally in support of u.s president
donald trump who addressed the crowd on
wednesday afternoon
afterward demonstrators marched to the
capitol building and some of them began
pushing back police then a group of
protesters characterized as a mob by
witnesses
breached the barrier outside the capitol
and forced their way into the building
it was put on lockdown vice president
mike pence who was there for the vote
count was evacuated
along with house and senate leaders
lawmakers were told to shelter in place
some parts of the capitol building
including the office of house speaker
nancy pelosi were damaged
gunshots were fired at one point and
officials said a woman had died
though there weren't a lot of details on
that last night
a little after 2 30 in the afternoon
president trump sent out a tweet telling
people to support law enforcement
and stay peaceful he said a similar
tweet a little more than half an hour
later
but current and former politicians
republicans and democrats
pressured the president to do more to
encourage an end to the situation
at around 4 15 he spoke in a video
disputing the results of the election
again
but also telling his supporters at the
capitol that law and order were
necessary
and that it was time for them to go home
in peace law enforcement workers
continued clearing out the capital
and as the sun went down wednesday
evening a capitol official said the
building had been secured
president-elect joe biden along with
dozens of american and international
politicians
said they were deeply troubled by
yesterday's events and lawmakers there
then got back to work
trying to decide how to move forward on
the electoral vote count
okay that's one political headline from
the united states the other we're
covering today concerns u.s senate
results from the state of georgia
it looks like democrats have won both of
the senate races there
on tuesday night as results came in cnn
and other media organizations projected
that democratic senate candidate rafael
warnock
defeated incumbent republican senate
candidate kelly lefler
yesterday with 98 percent of the results
in from the peach state
reverend warnock had received 50.8
percent of the vote
while senator lefler had received 49.2
percent
so a very thin margin between these two
candidates and it was even thinner in
georgia's other senate race
as of yesterday evening democratic
senate challenger jon ossoff had gotten
50.4 percent of the vote
while republican senate incumbent david
perdue had gotten 49.6 percent
but enough of the votes were in for cnn
and other media organizations to project
that ossoff had won that race
based on results from the november 3rd
presidential election
the two democrats projected victories
give their party 50 seats in the
100-member senate
to match the 50 seats held by
republicans but analysts say
that effectively gives the democrats
control of the senate
because any votes that split 50 50 will
have the tie broken by the vice
president
and vice president-elect kamala harris
is a democrat
so if these results are all certified
democrats will control the house of
representatives
the senate and the white house and that
will make it easier for them to pass the
laws they want without having to
compromise with a republican-led senate
president-elect biden has said his first
priority will be to decrease the spread
and death rate from covet 19
and that's a challenge leaders are
facing around the world
10 second trivia in 1980 the city of
woodbury new jersey became the nation's
first to have
what tiny house community curbside
recycling program nuclear power plant or
personal computer store
[Music]
1980 was when woodbury launched the
nation's first mandatory recycling
program
today's next story has us down in the
dumps or should i say the dumpsters
the us government estimates that each
american throws away a little less than
fivepounds of garbage every day this works
out to more than
million tons nationwide every year a
little less than a quarter of that
around 70 million tons of waste is
recycled
and one challenge for american cities is
in scheduling the pickups from recycling
binsthe way to do this efficiently is when
the bins are full but with dozens of
these things located around a given area
how do you keep track dumpster cameras
can help with this
but the type you're about to see cost
businesses between 10 and 20 dollars per
monthper dumpster are they worth it
once somebody puts their used coffee cup
or cardboard box in the recycling
they never think about the complexity
and
the infrastructure that it takes to
remove that material
the united states has a recycling
problem since china stopped buying
millions of tons of american recycling
in 2018
the us has struggled to come up with a
long-term solution
the epa says one of the biggest
challenges is contamination
the recycling process can break down if
trash gets mixed in with recyclable
material
if the material is contaminated and
we're not able to reuse it
we have to send that material to
landfills to help combat the problem
campology installs cameras in its
clients dumpsters and uses artificial
intelligence to detect contamination in
real time
if it does the client gets an alert to
remove it
how do you train an ai system to make
sense
of a literal pile of trash we use
the most advanced machine learning
techniques called neural networks
we take pictures three to five times a
day we track
the fullness the type of material going
inside it
and when that container is serviced the
more images that we get
of the inside of dumpsters the more
accurate we can be
the company's clients include nordstrom
capital one
starbucks adt and mcdonald's our
restaurant managers receive a
notification
anytime we have an instance of a
violation so this technology really
helps to
educate our people in a very quick way
the cameras also detect how much
waste goes in a trash or recycling bin
that helps ensure dump trucks
only empty them when full which in turn
saves clients money on pickups
our initial blush has seen a 31
reduction in our waste spending
fewer pickups also mean dump trucks
spend less time driving
and that results in lower carbon
emissions across the las vegas valley
we've been able to reduce our carbon
footprint
by over 8 000 truck miles traveled in
that process reducing co2 emissions by
32 metric tons campology says it has 162
000 cameras snapping photos and
dumpsters across the country
but it's still a small dent in the
recycling industry's problems
experts agree better consumer education
is critical
it's really important to be able to
understand what's going on inside your
dumpsterin order to improve your behaviors
around recycling and reducing the amount
of waste going to landfills
if you've ever owned one of these you've
probably dropped one of these
and the first question usually asked
afterward isdoes it still work but we doubt that's
what a brazilian filmmaker asked when
one of them slipped out of his hand
while he was flying about two thousand
feet above a beach
the amazing thing is not only did it
still workhere's cnn's genie most the next time
you drop your cell phone think of this
guy
talk about a dropped call but brazilian
documentary maker ernesto
galioto wanted to use his phone
not lose it as he shot the beaches of
rio de janeiro
but when he took one hand off the phone
took off ernesto got a little annoyed
here's how it looked from the phone's
point of view
a blurry spinning 19 seconds later the
iphone 6
landed amid the beach grass
the next day ernesto used to find my
phone app
and actually found it you'd say
thank you too if your phone fell out of
a plane and still worked with only minor
damage to the screen protector in case
jealous twitter users complained i could
just look at my screen in a cracks
well that's a new definition for a
dropped call hey
but going to look for it was easily the
right call because while most
smartphones can only make calls record
video
check traffic and look stuff up that one
can fly y'all
and it sets a new bar for smartphone
durability
