Hi I'm Carl Azuz reporting from an
outdoor studio this week and we're
grateful to have you watching CNN 10.
economic news coveted cases in india and
a parade of mummies are all featured
today
we'll start with jobs 916 000 of them
that's how many that were added in
america last month according to the u.s
labor department
it was hundreds of thousands more jobs
than economists had predicted there
would bein january initial reports showed
employers had added 49
000 jobs and 379 000 in february
the increase in march of 916 000 was the
biggest employment jump since last
august at that time with the u.s
continuing its climb out of the
shutdowns and closures related to the
spread of covid
the economy had added 1.4 million jobs
as far as the unemployment rate goes
this is the percentage of american
workers who don't have a job
it decreased by two-tenths of a
percentage point
from 6.2 percent in february to 6 flat
in march
a lower unemployment rate is a good sign
for the economy
but experts say last month's decrease is
partly because there were fewer people
looking for work then
and partly because there are a lot of
folks working part-time jobs when they'd
preferfull-time positions but can't find them
so on the surface the job report looks
goodbut analysts have concerns moving
forward about the state of the economy
vaccines reopenings and warmer weather
brought back almost a million jobs in
marchthe best month for jobs since august now
in normal times this would be a
blockbuster jobs report
but remember some 22 million jobs
vanished at the beginning of the
pandemic a year ago
the economy is still down some 8.4
million jobs since the pandemic began
we're crawling out of a very deep hole
here
and more than 11 million people reported
they couldn't go to work because their
place of business had either closed
or didn't have enough work for them to
do two-thirds of the job gains in
leisure and hospitality were in bars and
restaurants as they slowly reopen across
the country
gains in manufacturing as well and
education with the return of some
in-person learning
a booming housing market and warmer
weather spurred hiring
in construction to india next where
coveted cases and restrictions related
to that are both on the rise
the world's largest democracy whose
population is approaching 1.4 billion
people is going
through several coronavirus related
challenges one is fatigue
when people get tired of restrictions
and the guidance to wear masks and keep
their distance from one another
so they're less willing to follow
guidelines a second issue is the large
religious gatherings currently taking
place in the country
experts are concerned those can trigger
more covet cases
and a third challenge is new variants of
coronavirus
new versions that crop up when a disease
naturally mutates
experts don't know yet whether existing
coronavirus vaccines protect
people against new coronavirus variants
though at least one of these vaccines is
showing promise
doctors are also unsure about how long
vaccine protection
lasts against covid the drugs haven't
been out long enough for there to be
long-term studies on them
but vaccine makers are experimenting
with booster shots
intended to give people additional
protection doctors are concerned that
covid could become like the flu
for which there's a new vaccine every
year because the flu mutates so quickly
and immunity wears off quickly as well
time will tell what's next concerning
the fight against kovid but in india at
leastits spread has ramped up again
a record surge in cover 19 cases in
mumbai has turned this parking lot
into a 400 bed makeshift hospital
india's richest state maharashtra which
includes mumbai
reported more than 57 000 new infections
sunday
with cases rising the state government
has imposed night curfew
and complete lockdown on weekends
through the end of the month
we know that there are a large crowding
which occurs in certain cities in
maharashtra for example mumbai
mumbai being the industrial capital and
lot of
movement of people happens in that state
not only from india but from
outside also and with crowding uh and
total lack of covert appropriate
behavior this
actually is a classical
case for the infection to spread the
health ministry says the situation
acrossindia is worrying the situation is
becoming from bad to worse
and there's serious cause for concern
in some states in particular
there is a huge cause for worry india
reported over a hundred thousand new
cases monday surpassing its all-time
daily high
of almost 98 000 new infections in
mid-september last year
the first wave happened under a
significantly stringent lockdown
right now much of the economy is open
people are moving around transportation
is open
so it's only natural that we will see a
much
sharper and steeper rise in cases
while the government has repeatedly
urged citizens to wear masks and social
distancepoliticians have been busy addressing
thousands of supporters
in pole bound states that's not the only
cause for concern
one of the world's biggest festivals
komela is taking place in india's
northern state of uttarakhand
tens of millions of devotees are
expected to attend the event
in the month of april any event where
you have a large number of cases
number of people coming together and
when
in such an event there is no covert
appropriate behavior people are not
wearing masks
can become super spreading events eleven
states and union territories have been
categorized as states of grave concern
by the indian government with the daily
surge in covet 19 cases
expect more partial lockdowns in the
coming days

ten-second trivia which of these cities
is located on egypt's mediterranean
coast
alexandria luxor suez or cairo
alexandria which was once the capital of
egypt until the 7th century
is located on the mediterranean
makes sense that if mummies were to go
on parade
it would happen in egypt authorities
wanted to transfer the remains of 22
pharaohs from their old museum to their
new one it was a trip about three miles
long through the capital of cairo
but officials decided to make a
spectacle of it fit for royalty
this wasn't just about paying tribute to
egypt's fascinating past
it was about attracting tourists in the
present
a royal procession through cairo some of
the great
kings and queens of egypt who reigned
more than 3 000
years ago still know how to draw a crowd
the land has changed so too the people
but these mummies are timeless
18 kings and four queens embodying the
ancient lure of egypt
when it was once one of the great seats
of power in the world
it is a poignant moment to think of so
many
of egypt's royalty going through the
streets of this modern capital
um and in fact they're going back to an
ancient capital a fustad
the theatrical five kilometer journey
lined with lights
chariots and costumed actors could be
watched live
and were shown along with singers and an
orchestra worthy of an
epic soundtrack the mummies were
transported on vehicles that
looked like barges from the egyptian
museum
to their final resting place at the
national museum
of egyptian civilization where they were
received by the egyptian president
abdul fattah al-sisi seti the first
and ramses the great were some of the
best known of the mummies
which were encased in special capsules
filled with nitrogen
and lined with soft material to protect
them from any damage along the way
organizers hoped the multi-million
dollar display called the
pharaoh's golden parade is a reminder to
tourists of the many treasures waiting
for them in egypt
the country's tourism industry crumbled
because of coronavirus
the number of visitors dropping to three
and a half million last year
from more than 13 million the year
before
the message is very important we are
going to tell the people
through the parade of the mummies that
egypt is safe
we need people to come back a throwback
to the country's past
to help revive its modern economy and a
chance for egypt's eternal kings and
queens
to bask in glory once again
we start today's 10 out of 10 segment
with an age-old question
does chocolate ever go bad well take a
bite out of this and you'll find out
it was recently discovered in an attic
in the united kingdom it was ordered up
by queen victoria
in 1900 as a gift for soldiers fighting
in the war
the boer war the service man who
received it probably kept it as a
memento in its original wrapping and tin
experts say you wouldn't want to eat it
which makes the discovery kind of
bittersweet because there are a hundred
grand reasons why it's a chalk a lot of
fun to get your butterfingers betwixt
the mounds of crunch from each crackly
bite of chunky whatchamacallit
good bar that brings all of us home and
joy I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10
