first up on CNN 10 this thursday a
traffic jam in egypt that's probably
unlike anything you've ever seen
I'm Carl Azuz and we're starting in the
suez canal
this is an artificial waterway in egypt
it connects the mediterranean sea with
the red sea
if a ship wants to travel from europe to
east africa
india or oceania this is the fastest way
to do it at least
it is when it's not blocked up a massive
container ship ran aground in the suez
canal this week after
high winds and a sandstorm reportedly
made it difficult to
sail the vessel which sails under the
flag of panama
is called the ever given and to give you
a sense of how big it is
it's almost as long as the empire state
building is tall
and it's just under 200 feet wide the
cargo ship
is stuck diagonally no large vessels can
get around it
eight tugboats have been working to free
the ever given it's reportedly damaged
once the ship is cleared it'll probably
have to be towed for miles to the
nearest port where it'll be unloaded and
repaired
meantime the number of other ships that
are waiting is growing one official says
as many as a hundred of them could be
lining up at opposite ends of the canal
to get through
some of these vessels are carrying oil
from oman russia
saudi arabia and the united states that
could disrupt supplies if the ever given
isn't freed soon
how long will that take an egyptian
official says a couple days at least
a week or more if things don't go well
and after it's moved it'll probably
take days to get maritime traffic back
to its normal flow in the suez canal
[Music]
the sewers canal is one of the world's
most strategic waterways
[Music]
a vital shipping route for over 150
yearstransporting goods between europe and
asia
an ambitious plan to modernize the canal
brought rj kumar singh here in 2016.
we should have come to this place about
three years back place has transformed
last three years
in terms of business in terms of people
in terms of processes but everything is
revamped
he runs the only privately managed port
in egypt
located just below the southern entrance
of the suez canal
what they've done is that they have
expanded 35 kilometers of
suez canal that has doubled the
ships passing through
capitalizing on this increased traffic a
giant economic free zone is taking
shape along the canal attracting
manufacturers and suppliers
from all over the world this vessel
carries 60 000 tons of raw sugar from
brazil
it's for safula group a saudi-based
industrial company
which refines and packages the sugar
right here at the port
it's then shipped back through the canal
to customers all over the world
because everything happens here safula
cuts costs
and saves time
dp world is expanding the port to
accommodate the world's biggest ships
bringing its total investment here to
1.6 billion dollars
10-second trivia the largest percentage

the covid pandemic changed how americans
dine out at least temporarily
restaurant sales especially in large
cities dropped when it came to in-person
dining but they rose for takeout
that means more disposable food
containers were floating around
republic services one of america's
largest trash collection and recycling
providers
says cardboard drink carriers aluminum
cans and plastic containers labeled
number one or two
are usually recyclable what's not are
paper napkins and towels
soiled cardboard like greasy pizza boxes
plastic utensils
bags and foam containers that usually
goes to the trash unless people
compost the paper products there are
some companies like the one you're about
to see
that are working to develop alternatives
to throw away food containers
deliver xero is kind of like grub hub
doordash or ubereats
except the new company's drivers take
your old containers away when they drop
off the new ones
this does come at an additional cost for
restaurants based on the amount of
takeout food they sell
how does this compare with what other
delivery services charge
ordering spartan combos spinach pies
like a lot of new yorkers i eat a lot of
take out when you get take out
after your meal you have tons and tons
of garbage
new york city alone goes through
billions of single-use disposables
just in the restaurant industry and i
wanted to solve that problem my name is
adam farbiage i'm one of the co-founders
of deliver xero
delivery zero is a food ordering service
we provide restaurants with
reusable takeout containers delivers
euros started in park slope brooklyn
with five restaurants
in late 2019 when you order food through
deliver zero
you get your food in these reusable
containers the restaurant tells us
how many of our delivery zero boxes are
going out and the customer has these
boxes one two
three four five six containers the
customer then returns them they could
return them to the next delivery courier
they can return them by walking back and
deliver zero restaurant and handing them
in if the customer returns them
within six weeks there's no extra cost
for the customer and eventually if they
don't return them after six weeks and a
little bit of a grace period they're
charged 325 per box
that restaurant will then wash the
containers add them to their supply
add them to their inventory and reuse
them for the next order
we have about 135 restaurants in
brooklyn and manhattan and a little bit
in queens actually
the latino cuisine i may help you as a
restaurant owner
we save money well we don't have to use
my containers seamless and grow up yeah
they take a big chunk 20
compared to delivery zero they take
about 10 percent
like all those other services we provide
a tablet to the restaurant where the
orders show up and say hey make this
food the experience for the restaurant
for the customer is really identical in
the next 18 months we'd like to have
many many many more restaurants in new
york we're going to bring deliver zero
to los angeles we also have a partner
who's opening deliver zero in
amsterdam five years we view this as a
much much bigger program
once you start thinking about single use
you will see single use
everywhere you start asking why isn't
the problem
being solved everywhere this is the
solution to the problem
the solution to the problem is a network
we view this network as encompassing
all foods foods that might you get at
the grocery store or the deli or the
the food vendor who selling things out
of a car do you just know in your heart
of hearts that it is a foolish thing
that we're doing as a society to make
all this stuff
just to throw it away it's it's silly
and i want my kids to live in a world
where thatthat doesn't happen anymore
[Music]
turns out the phrase music soothes the
savage beast
is not an exact quote that's how many
people know the line which came from a
play written in 1697 by william congreve
but even though the words in the modern
phrase are a little bit different
they apply exactly to what's been going
on at a zoo in colombia
so before we go today sit back relax and
take a listen
[Music]
so
[Music]
they may be thinking please don't stop
the music it may be most artistic
music to their ears but watch out if the
lions join in the rorus
and say if music be the food of love
play on because that could be a sour
note that signals treble
and you'll want to jump back and keep
your composer
if you're close to the clef of their
enclosure when the savage beasts decide
it's feeding time
you just never know what they'll do i
know what the students of axtell high
school zoo they subscribe and comment on
our youtube channel which is the only
place we look for the shout out schools
we mentionedlike today's from axtel kansas I'm Carl
