Welcome to CNN 10
A down the middle explanation of world
events i m carl azuz glad to be starting
off the week with you
the U.S state of georgia has just passed
a significant
new law concerning elections it's making
news not only because it affects how
voting is handled in the peach state
but because several other states are
looking at passing similar laws
and many of these changes are opposed by
the biden administration
here's what's new in georgia early
voting will be expanded in most places
meaning
people will have more days and longer
hours when they can vote in person
for runoff elections when a second vote
is held because no candidate clearly won
the first
these will be shortened from nine weeks
to four weeks
for absentee ballots when people don't
vote in person
voters will be required to show a form
of identification like a driver's
license or state id number
when they request or turn in an absentee
ballot and they'll have to request these
ballots and send them back
sooner as well the new law also says
that within a certain distance of a
polling place or voters standing in line
it's illegal to display campaign
material or to offer gifts
food or drinks to voters people who
oppose this part of the law
say it's wrong to prevent giving food or
water to those who are waiting
supporters of the rules say handouts to
voters can unfairly influence whom they
vote for
there's a partisan divide in general
over voting changes like these
republicans generally support them
saying they're needed to protect the
fairness
of elections and prevent voter fraud
especially when it comes to mailed in
ballotsdemocrats generally oppose these changes
saying they make it harder for people to
voteand that they unfairly target voters who
traditionally support democrats u.s
president joe biden says he'll do
everything he can to stop similar
efforts to change voting laws
last november he became the first
democratic presidential candidate to win
in georgia since 1992 and two democrats
won u.s
senate seats in georgia's runoff
elections in january
bills to tighten up voting access have
been introduced recently in more than
40 u.s states what remains to be seen is
how many of these states will pass new
election laws
and whether the federal government will
set new national rules
ten-second trivia which of these
historic ships was launched first
hms bounty uss constitution bismarck or
hms endeavor
of these options the endeavor was oldest
it sailed for tahiti in 1768.

the more modern cargo ship we told you
about last
week the ever given was still stuck when
we produced this show sunday night
since it ran aground last tuesday the
ever given has been
single-handedly blocking the suez canal
in egyptand that's the fastest maritime
passageway between europe and east
africa
india and oceania hundreds of ships have
joined the line to get through the suez
canal
lloyd's list a shipping news company
estimates that the global shipping
industry is losing
400 million dollars per hour because of
the delay
there have been multiple attempts to
free the ship at high tide
and egypt's president has ordered that
some cargo containers be removed from
the vessel to lighten its load
efforts continue to dislodge the massive
container ship
blocking one of the world's most
important waterways
but the ship has only budged slightly
almost as long as the empire state
building is tall
the ever given got stuck tuesday
navigating through a sandstorm and
40 knot winds initially it was thought
that high winds in a sand storm were the
cause for the grounding
of the ever given now we've heard from
the chairman of the suez canal authority
that perhaps human and technical
error are also to blame
dredging continues as attempts to free
the carrier
during high tide weren't successful
enough to refloat the ship
with around 12 percent of global trade
volume
typically passing through the suez canal
countries around the world are pitching
in
the dutch salvage company brought in to
help is sending a crane and two
tugboats heavier than these hoping to
free the ship before its precarious
position gets worse you have to start
worrying about the vessel rolling you
have to worry about the vessel cracking
the the nightmare scenario of all time
is is the vessel breaks apart
and that would be not weeks or days of
salvage but months
meanwhile traffic remains at a
standstill in a waterway
that normally handles the equivalent of
10billion dollars a day in cargo more than
320
ships are backed up in either direction
their only alternative is to divert
around the southern tip of africa
adding about a week to the journey this
is going to be costing extra fuel an
extra3 500 miles seven days steaming so we're
gonna about see
you know it in the pocketbook here real
soon the backlog will also be costly for
vessels waiting in place
about a dozen are carrying livestock at
risk of dying if the situation is not
resolved within a few days
japanese shipping company shoi kisen kk
who owned the ever given told cnn
they're bracing for lawsuits
but insists their priority right now is
re-floating the ship
as soon as possible executives
even bowed in apology friday but with
costsskyrocketing for the global shipping
industry
saying sorry might not be enough
in 2019 during the christian holy week
betweenpalm sunday and easter the roof of
europe's most
famous gothic cathedral caught fire no
one was hurt when the top of notre dame
went up in flames
and many of its artifacts survived from
its bell towers to its great organ
to a crown of thorns that some believe
is the crown of thorns that was placed
on the head of jesus christ
authorities still don't know what caused
the fire but two years later
during this holy week of 2021 experts
are moving forward to rebuild the
medieval monument
it was one of the most heartbreaking
sights of a tragic afternoon
the towering spire of the cathedral of
notre dame came
crashing to the ground as a devastating
fire swept through the roof
but now a more encouraging image of
spires crashing down
in a forest south of limault france a
harvest of mighty oaks is underway
the first of 200 year old trees needed
to rebuild the spire and roof support
beams destroyed by the fire
in all a thousand trees will be needed
while there's been some opposition from
environmental groups about the use of
centuries-old trees to rebuild notre
dame the fostering people here say it's
a testament to the richness of natural
resources in this country that
in this forest alone there are more than
100 000
trees that are over 150 years old
at the church itself there is no
resounding pipe organ playing just yet
but as cnn discovered when it got rare
access to the cathedral
the walls have been cleaned and
stabilized some of the stained glass
windows an ancient stone statuary
already restored
there remains a gaping hole in the roof
though covered only with plastic to keep
out the elements
for that workers are now building 90
foot tall walls of scaffolding
inside the cathedral which will
eventually support a temporary platform
for restoring notre dame's unique
vaulted ceiling much of which was
destroyed or damaged in the fire
architects say once the platform is in
place precisely engineered wooden arches
will provide the bracing to reconstruct
the star-formed stone
ceiling vaults once all that is done the
engineers will turn their attention to
rebuilding the roof itself
reconstructing the spire and replacing
the interior roof beams using the oak
that is now being cut
exactly in the same fashion as those
that were destroyed in the fire
there were hundreds of ideas from the
public suggesting more modern ways to
rebuild notre dame but in the end
president macron decided that it should
be rebuilt exactly as it was
albeit with better fire protection
reconstructing the cathedral as it was
seems to be more or less a popular idea
let's say you're wandering around
washington state one night and you just
happen to look up and see this you're
probably gonna have some questions
was it a shooting star meteor shower
comet or
aliens experts say probably not they
believe it was the remains of a spacex
rocket that recently carried dozens of
satellites into orbit
the rocket apparently didn't burn up
properly and caused the light show
insteadit wasn't expected to hurt anything does
this mean there's nothing to atmosphere
does it go against outdoor burning laws
at least the cleanup will be a debris
it's as fast as a rocket and plays a
starring role in the night sky
even if at the end of the day you're
witnessing a breakup. I'm Carl Azuz for
