getting a new edition of CNN 10 off the
groundI'm Carl Azuz. It's always great to have
you watching there's a debate taking
place over covid testing for u.s
airline passengers we told you late last
year how travelers on some
international flights are required to
take a rapid coronavirus test
and prove they don't have the virus
before they can fly
the biden administration is thinking
about requiring a negative covid test
for everyone traveling domestically
meaning maine montana or mississippi
you'll have to prove you've recently
tested negative for covet 19.
to be clear this is not a requirement
yet the government does now mandate that
people on public transportation wear
masks
but it doesn't require negative
coronavirus tests to fly within the
united states
the u.s transportation secretary says
the decision on that hasn't been made
yet
but he says quote there has got to be
common sense medicine and science really
driving this
the chief executive officer of delta
airlines says that since the pandemic
started
coronavirus transmission on planes has
been quote
absolutely minimal and he says requiring
tests for all domestic airline
passengers would create a logistical
nightmare
that would not make travelers safer but
would take tests away from other people
who are sick
so we'll see where the government lands
on this the airline industry is an
important part of the us economy it
accounts for about five percent of the
nation's gross domestic product
every year and whether they're in the
air or on the ground
people in america and beyond are trying
to balance health concerns with the
desire to get back to normal
in some places it's business as usual
with few signs and restrictions related
to the pandemic
in others i'm psalm updates
in london british authorities say they
will come down hard on any traveler that
breaks chronovirus border restrictions
the uk health secretary introducing a
three-part system
first there's gonna be a hotel
quarantine for anyone arriving
from 33 redless countries secondly
there's going to be more testing
for all international arrivals into the
uk and finally there's going to be
tougher enforcement
those who lie on passenger locator forms
could face
up to 10 years in jail or a 10 000 pound
fine
i'm stephen zhang in beijing a team of
world health organization experts are
leaving the city of wuhan
after wrapping up their investigation
into the origins of the cova virus
drawing no conclusions from their two
weeks of field studies
in a press conference tuesday they
largely echoed their chinese
counterparts in saying
there's no sufficient evidence that the
virus jumped directly from bats into
humans in the city
and also dismissing the lab leak theory
they did point to the possibility that a
virus may have entered wuhan from
outside of china through frozen food
a claim increasingly promoted by chinese
officials and state media here
i'm melisa bell in paris france is to
extend its state of emergency until june
1st even as the restrictions lead
to the beginning of a stabilization in
terms of covet 19 figures in germany
angela merkel will meet with state
premiers today
to decide whether or not the current
lockdown needs to be extended
over the next few weeks this is european
leaders keep a close eye
on the variance now making fast
progression here in the european union
the british variant which could be
dominant here in france by the first of
march according
to a member of the scientific council
that advises the government and also the
south african variant with austria
introducing travel restrictions
on its southern tyrol region after 165
cases of the south african variant
were confirmed there
ten-second trivia which of these
countries is home to the sierra gorda
ecological region
chile mexico philippines or portugal
it is in the north american country of
mexico that you'll find the sierra gorda
mountains
deforestation the clearing of wide
natural areas
is often cited as a threat to the
world's woodlands one main reason it
occurs is because people are trying to
build or expand
farmland in mexico more than 13 percent
of workers are in the field of
agriculture
and in a country where more than 45
percent of people live below the poverty
line
agriculture is crucial to many mexicans
livelihood
but for years a conservationist has been
working to preserve the sierra gorda
while still maintaining some jobs for
people in the region
this is sierra gorda
located in the heart of central mexico
this remote mountain range is one of the
most ecologically diverse
protected areas in the country
with everything from deserts to tropical
forests
all this was once under threat
until martha patty ruiz corzo moved to
the region
until then she had only lived in cities
i was surrounded by such beauty
i have never seen such blue skies
and the mist in the middle of the forest
it was like a shock for me that was more
than three decades ago
today she may be the region's most
trusted guardian
to protect that beauty she co-founded
the sierra gorda ecological group in
1987
after witnessing deforestation as a
result of agriculture
man-made fires and illegal logging
in 1997 her grassroots organization
helped the region achieve
biosphere reserve status protecting
nearly 400
000 hectares of land roughly the size of
the u.s state of rhode island
today sierra gorda or the fat mountains
is valued for its wealth of biodiversity
the group says it is home to 345 species
of birds
800 types of butterflies more than 110
different mammals like the jaguar
and around 2400 plant species
for carzone it was possible by
collaborating with the local communities
many who live in poverty instead of
logging
she helped find them alternative ways to
make a living
97 of the land it's private land
of 637 communities
you have to give them an opportunity
because that's
all what they have raising money by
working with partner organizations and
the government
she created economic opportunities
through protection of the environment
this helped create paid jobs in
reforestation
waste management eco-tourism and
education
planting the seeds of change corso hopes
that her work
will inspire people across the world
modern society so far we need to talk
about mother nature
to connect them not everyone is gonna
to recognize her but there are many
people that is ready to act
that are really worried about the future
and that are looking for answers i am
convinced
that there she is for everyone
because she is everything
conservation helping preserve the beauty
of sierra gorda for future generations
and sustained livelihoods through nature
from tiger cars to courtroom cats
virtual meetings just
ain't the same as in-person ones this is
from a recent courtroom hearing in texas
one of the lawyers didn't quite look
himself can you hear me judge
i can hear you i think it's a filter
it is and i don't know how to remove it
i'm prepared to go forward with it
that's
i'm here live that's not i'm not a cat
oh contraire
the judge later said if a child used
your computer
check the video options to be sure
filters are off
because otherwise your colleagues may
think you're kidding around and they may
say obnoxious things like
you seem catatonic are you feline okay
have you got cat scratch fever do you
need a bit of milk
have you just had a fancy feast how many
lives you got left
