Welcome to CNN 10 your objective
overview of world events
My name is Carl Azuz. First story this
thursday takes us to the border between
the united states and mexico
some call the situation there a
challenge for the u.s
some call it a crisis what it's about is
a dramatic increase in the number of
migrants who want to cross the border
into the united states
and an increase in the number who've
been arrested for crossing that border
illegally
this has put a strain on u.s officials
trying to guard the border
and the facilities america has for
caring for migrants
part of the reason more people from
various countries have been coming to
the borderis because they believe the biden
administration will make it easier for
them to enter the u.s
than the trump administration did last
year president donald trump's government
allowed u.s border officials
to turn away migrants arrested at the
border out of concerns they might
further spread coronavirus in america
the law is still in effect but president
joe biden's government
changed it so that it wouldn't apply to
children caught at the border
they're now allowed to stay in the u.s
while their cases for immigration are
reviewed
and though u.s officials say most of the
people arrested at the border are single
adults
they have seen an increase in the
percentage of families and children
trying to cross
there's now a record number of kids
being held at u.s border patrol
facilitiesand they weren't designed for children
many of the migrants home countries have
been hit hard by the coronavirus
pandemic
and that same pandemic has limited the
number of u.s border officials who can
interact with and process the migrants
so all of this has made the situation
more difficult and increased pressure on
the biden administration to determine
what to do next
sandra caballero says she has spent a
year sitting on the border's edge with
her husband
and three children she says they left
the endless crisis of violence
in honduras to seek asylum
sandra tells us she hopes president
biden will open the door to the border
because we need a better future for our
children
the increasing surge of migrants on the
southern border is reaching emergency
levels for the biden administration
u.s authorities have arrested and
encountered more than a hundred thousand
migrants
in the four weeks before march third the
highest levels for that same time period
in at least five years and new data
reviewed by cnn
shows there are more than 3 400
unaccompanied children
in the custody of customs and border
protection federal immigration officials
are scrambling to make room we're here
in the town of donna texas
on the mexico border and cbp has just
opened up this massive tent facility
this temporary processing site for
migrants was opened just over a month
agoa homeland security official told cnn
the facility is significantly
overcrowded
mostly with children republicans and
some democrats say
the biden administration isn't moving
fast enough to
keep the migration crisis under control
they are completely unprepared
for what is going on the border now and
they're going to be even more unprepared
for what will be happening in the coming
months the biden administration says the
majority of migrants are being turned
away at the
border and refused to describe the
situation
as a crisis look i don't think we need
to sit here and put new
labels on what we have already conveyed
is challenging
what we have conveyed as a top priority
for the president
but many more families are being allowed
to wait in the u.s for their immigration
court dates
we met jose at a church shelter we were
asked to protect his identity
he says desperation and fear is driving
them to the border
he left honduras with his son three
months ago
[Music]
did you see a lot of children traveling
by themselves
jose tells us he saw many children along
the way begging
or cleaning windows for money critics of
the biden administration say that the
president is not acting fast enough to
get the migration situation under
control
on the u.s southern border president
biden and his team
insist that what they're trying to do is
develop a much more humanitarian
approachto immigration here in this country ed
lavendera cnn
dallas it was exactly a year ago today
that the world health organization part
of the united nations declared that the
coronavirus outbreak was a pandemic
meaning it had spread worldwide the who
had labeled the disease a public health
emergency last
january but it had been criticized for
not moving fast enough to sound the
alarm about covet 19.
governments around the world have been
grappling with how to respond to the
disease their challenge has been twofold
to limit the disease's impact on their
people's health but also to limit its
impact on their economies
the united states congress has
authorized several trillion dollars in
spending to try to ease the economic
problems related to coronavirus
former president donald trump signed
multiple bills last year
president joe biden plans to sign a 1.9
trillion dollar bill tomorrow
after making a prime time address
tonight it'll be his first speech to the
nation since he was inaugurated
the latest stimulus bill passed in the
senate last saturday
and the house voted 220 to 211
to pass it on wednesday no republicans
in either chamber voted in favor of the
legislation
some criticized it as being too partisan
focusing too much on what democrats
wantedand spending too much on programs that
aren't related to the pandemic
one house democrat also voted against
the plan but
every other democrat in the house and
senate voted for it
some saying it was needed to strengthen
the economy save jobs
and help people who need the money
officials estimate that more than 90
percent of u s households will receive
direct payments from the package it'll
provide additional benefits to people
who've lost
their jobs more money for public schools
more assistance for small businesses
hurt by the pandemic
additional funding for vaccines and
hundreds of billions for state and local
governmentsbut a lot of this isn't spent
immediately roughly
a trillion from last year's stimulus
plans still hasn't been paid out
10 second trivia in what country would
you find the world's oldest hotel which
dates back to 705 a.d
egypt japan italy or india
the guinness world record holder for the
oldest hotel is in japan just a little
west of tokyo
but las vegas nevada is where you'll
find the most expensive hotel room in
the world
a certain suite there will set you back
100 000
per night and it includes a pool
suspended over the city
well that covers the past and present
but a hotel of the future
if it gets off the ground could cost
considerably more than that
it'll take millions to get you in the
door or should we probably say
the hatch here's cnn 10 contributor
chris james
hey carl usually i take you guys on
incredible virtual field trips
right here on planet earth but today i
am taking you to the furthest
destination yet specifically a space
hotel inspired by a cruise ship that
could one day be floating above the
earth's atmosphere
it goes by the name voyager station this
futuristic concept is comprised of 24
modules
connected by elevator shafts that make
up a rotating wheel orbiting the earth
these are the renderings of what's
promised to be a hotel like no other
it suggests an interior not too
different from a hotel you might find on
earth
with some pretty out of this world views
the design architect told cnn travel the
hotel's aesthetic
hoped to bring a slice of earth via warm
sweets and chic bars and restaurants
yes even though guests will be in outer
space they will still be able to enjoy
regular beds and showers it's set to be
built by the orbital assembly
corporation
a new construction company whose ceo
said that the golden age of space travel
is just around the corner the space
hotel construction is expected to begin
in 2026
with a five-star stay in space expected
to be possible by the year 2027.
one of the coolest aspects of this hotel
is the fact that you'd be able to jump
very high and lift extremely heavy
objects because of the gravity-defying
weightlessness of space
there are also plans to serve
traditional space food like
freeze-dried ice cream in the hotel
restaurant
the team is also hoping to build
research stations and spark space
tourism and commerce opportunities
and they hope the government or private
companies might be able to rely on them
for training crews heading to the moon
mars and beyond
the price of a nightly stay still to be
determinedback to you carl
our last story is for the birds they
could be so graceful in the air
but one of these at least needs to work
on the landings
this is a northern royal albatross it's
okay maybe a little embarrassed
the breed can soar for hours over the
ocean but when it came to touching down
this nest in new zealand well one of
them face planted
right in front of a six-month-old chick
it's like don't try this at home kids
nest time don't be in such a thrush oh
you can parrot your long flight all you
wantbut when you come beak the cardinal rule
is to stork the landing
that way the kids won't be peregrining
like you just got alba tossed to the
ground i mean
the whole thing looked like a landfill
