Welcome to a brand new edition of CNN 10
I'm your host Carl Azuz. Hope your
tuesday is going well
airlines in several countries have
decided to keep certain boeing passenger
planes on the ground
boeing is among the largest aerospace
companies in the world
one of its models currently flies with
an engine made by another aerospace
company pratt and whitney
and there was a major problem over the
weekend with one of these planes powered
by one of these engines
on a united airlines flight from denver
colorado to honolulu hawaii
there was an engine failure on saturday
afternoon passengers aboard the plane
and people on the ground heard a loud
boom
the pilot immediately radioed a distress
signal and turned the plane back toward
denver international airport
despite the explosion and the debris
that fell from the plane onto some
populated areas of denver no one was
hurt either on the aircraft or on the
ground
several of the 241 people aboard the
plane said they held hands and prayed
and after the flight landed safely back
at the airport people cheered before
they got off the plane the aircraft was
a boeing triple seven
the engine was a pratt and whitney model
four thousand
as u.s government investigators try to
find out exactly what went wrong
a source told cnn they believe a fan
blade in the engine
came off and destroyed another blade
leading to the failure
the federal aviation administration is
recommending more frequent inspections
of this specific
engine and several airlines in the
united states south korea and japan are
following boeing's recommendation
to ground dozens of these aircraft while
the new safety measures are put in place
there was a separate incident on
saturday involving a different boeing
aircraft powered by the same pratt
whitney engine
one of these engines caught fire on a
747
cargo flight that was flying over the
netherlands that also happened shortly
after takeoff
the crew also made it back down safely
but the debris that fell from that plane
did mildly injure two people on the
ground boeing has joined the u.s
government in investigating what
happened there
bad news and good news related to
coronavirus cases in america
first the number of deaths in which
covid19 was cited as a factor
has reached 500 000 since last winter
the number of positive tests recorded in
the u.s has surpassed
28 million but that's not a record of
all cases
since many people who catch coronavirus
have no symptoms and may not get
tested the good news is that the number
of new infections continues to drop
in all but a few states it's the first
time since last fall that the average
number of new cases
has been less than 65 000 per day health
officials don't know exactly why there's
been such
a decline theories include the changing
seasons
flu cases have historically decreased
after february
in some places experts believe enough
people have recovered from coronavirus
and developed natural immunities to it
others say increased social distancing
mask wearing and vaccinations are having
animpact though not every health official
agrees with that
one thing they are warning about is that
new variants or mutated versions of
coronavirus
could still increase its spread viruses
mutate naturally
and officials say coronavirus vaccines
may not protect as well against variants
i'm jesus juarez in london where prime
minister boris johnson said to unveil
much anticipated road map
out of lockdown the country has been in
lockdown since january the prime
minister
who wants to avoid a rise in
hospitalizations and more pressure on
the national health service
will be setting out a slow cautious and
phased opening that he says will be
guided by
the data and not by dates the balancing
act is making sure that he doesn't open
up too
quickly creating a breeding ground for
new variants putting of course
pressure on a very successful
vaccination program the expectations
that schools will open on march the 8th
followed by march 29th when social
gatherings will be allowed
outdoors i'm delia gallagher in rome
italy is marking one year since the
discovery of its first case of
coronavirus that happened in the tiny
town of codonio in northern italy
and triggered the first national
lockdown in europe
since then italy has had over 95 000
deaths from the virus
and italians are still living under
travel restrictions
and curfews one thing has changed italy
has a new prime minister mario draghi a
well-respected economist
and hopes are now pinned on him and his
governmentto speed up the vaccine rollout plan and
come up with an economic recovery plan
for this country 10 second trivia
which of these construction projects was
completed in 2011
beijing dashing international airport
international space station one world
trade center or burj khalifa
international space station was
officially completed in 2011.
of the 150 billion dollars it's taken to
build the international space station
the united states has contributed about
a hundred billion
and it costs america about three to four
billion dollars a year
just to operate the orbiting laboratory
that's part of the reason why nasa wants
private companies to get involved there
the iss takes a significant chunk of the
agency's budget
and nasa wants to focus more of its
efforts and funding
on mars missions like perseverance and
on returning people to the moon
for private astronauts to get to the iss
the cost will be around 55
million dollars per seat
the international space station
represents the longest continuous human
presence in low earth orbit
as a working laboratory the astronauts
are its researchers
the amazing thing about the space
station is that it's a place where we do
research we're simulating aspects of
future space missions
and at the same time we also have
commercial providers that are coming in
and becoming part of the space economy
the space economy is in many ways the
latest form of the space race
low earth orbit the space occupied by
the iss
is defined by nasa as the area in
earth's orbit close enough
for easy transportation resupply and
communication low earth orbit gives you
access to
a place where gravity is no longer a
dominant force like it is on earth
it also is a place where you can
potentially
harness laws of physics in ways you
can't on earth to make products or other
things that can't be produced here
if you're going to have an economy in
space you've got to have supply and
demand
and you have to have the research
capabilities that a lot of small
companies are now providing
some commercial companies like space
tango which facilitates manufacturing
and research in microgravity
already have a presence on board the iss
whileothers have designs on starting their
own on the iss now government
is the landlord if you will we run the
platform with our with our partners
um that's not sustainable in the long
run because we have exploration goals
so we need to turn low earth orbit over
to the commercial sector and then we
become a customer
in the last year so nasa has pivoted to
starting to enable companies
to learn that they can actually produce
something in space nasa took a big step
in that direction
with the announcement that private
astronauts with approved research
projects
can pay their way onto the iss and
companies can bid to use a port on the
station
more and more it seems the human
presence in low earth orbit
is set to expand in ways we've never
seen before
rachel crane cnn reporting
according to moving.com hiring
professionals to move you to a new home
costs anywhere from 1000 to five
thousand dollars on average
what about moving a home itself a 139
year old victorian residence measuring
80 feet long developers wanted to put
apartments in its old location
so the owner spent four hundred thousand
dollars to have it towed
six blocks
do
so
do
it was a moving site they must have had
to search high in bungalow to find the
craftsman needed for such a
non-traditional relocation
we don't know if they had a tutor but to
get a house victoria into its new home
you need more than mid-century modern
ideas you need a revival of innovation
so the project doesn't turn out or
auntie that brings us home for the day
