Hello and welcome to CNN 10.
today is april 23 2021 and who cares
Fridays are awesome
I'm Carl Azuz. Thank you for watching our
show yesterday
april 22nd was earth day and that was
when the white house kicked off a
virtual climate summit
an online meeting of dozens of world
leaders u.s president joe biden promised
that america would dramatically reduce
its greenhouse gas emissions
these include carbon dioxide methane and
nitrous oxide
most climate scientists blame these
gases for polluting the atmosphere
and negatively impacting the global
climate by the year 2030
president biden wants to cut america's
emissions of greenhouse gases by at
least
50 percent over what they were in 2005.
that's one of the most ambitious pledges
in the world but there are no penalties
if the u.s
doesn't meet that commitment and the
biden administration did not give
details on how america would meet it
the u.s hopes that having a high target
in reducing greenhouse gas emissions
will give it leverage in convincing
other countries to do the same thing
the president said that no single nation
can confront climate-related issues on
its own
and he called on the other leaders in
the summit who included chinese
president xi jinping and russian
president vladimir putin
to take action in their own countries to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions
but while the u.s leader says doing this
offers an extraordinary opportunity to
create jobs in the green energy sector
critics say the president's policies
have caused thousands of job
losses in the oil gas and coal
industries former president donald trump
rolled back u.s government regulations
concerning greenhouse gas emissions
his predecessor former president barack
obama had instituted new regulations so
american policies on this can change
from president to president
the virtual climate summit runs through
friday
ten-second trivia what makes up about 15
of our body weight water skin muscle or
blood
it's our skin all 21 square feet of it
that accounts for about 15 percent of
our body weight
wearable technology may be going skin
deep we're talking about
electronic skin devices that are soft
and flexible and could be used to
closely monitor signals from the body
technology like this could still take
years to fully develop
and there are concerns about privacy if
personal medical information could be
seen on your skin
or if it's loaded online wearing your
heart on your sleeve
or hand could be the future of
healthcare monitoring
thanks to an electronic skin or e-skin
with led display
designed by this man professor takao
sumaya is anexpert in e-skin an industry worth an
estimated 4.5 billion dollars in 2019
e-skin is the next generation wearables
each skin is seen lightweight searchable
and durable here at his lab the somaya
group lab at the university of tokyo
he and his team develop different types
of e-skin and experiment with
applications
including measuring facial expression
for speech recognition
and tracking biometric signals like a
heartbeat and muscle movement
to improve fitness and health especially
for japan's increasingly elderly
population
the e-skin is made from an ultra-thin
hypoallergenic nano-mesh material with a
gold layer
it's attached to a patient's chest with
some water and somaya says
can be worn for a week at a time picking
up biometric signals like a heartbeat
a specially designed belt with a
wireless transmitter can send that
heartbeat signal to a nearby smartphone
laptop or directly to the cloud which
somaya says will allow doctors to
monitor their patients remotely
to realize the home health care it is
very
important to monitor the health
condition of senior people for
long periods of time with high precision
e-skin
is a powerful tool for monitoring of a
chronic disease
an led display attached to the hand will
show the patient's data
like a heartbeat when display can be
attached on the surface of a hand and it
is so
easy to see that is very convenient for
the senior people
or people with disability it can also
receive simple characters sent from a
smartphone
enabling others to send love from afar
an especially important feature during a
pandemic i'm hoping that the
skin display may transmit the
information as well as the warm feeling
of people
the pandemic has also changed how some
sports people are able to train
for japanese taekwondo athlete mana
umehara
training with e-skin sports were
developed by the samea group spin-off
company
zenoma really hit the spot
my impression after wearing it is that
it's easy to use because it doesn't
interfere with movement at
all now i can get more precise
instructions with numbers for how many
centimeters to extend
or how powerful it should be even when
it's not possible to see my teachers due
to coronavirus
i can get proper instructions if i send
them my video
while some products like the led display
are still in development
so maya's work is stretching the limits
of possibility of e-skin
as part of a growing industry with
researchers across the world developing
similar technology
so the ultimate goal of e-skin is to
monitor all the different types of human
information
easily anywhere and anytime esking is
now
creating a completely new and huge
market

we're checking in now to what could
become a five-star hotel
of the future we're saying could become
because it's not being built yet
some of its proposed features would be
used for the very first time
and there are studies underway to find
out if it makes sense to build this with
the final cost
unknown it's also possible it could lose
power and engineers are trying to work
out how it could be moved
to land in case that happens cnn 10
contributor chris james explains why
there's interest in the project
hey carl you know i love taking you guys
on cool adventures to some of the
world's most exciting and unexpected
places
and today is no exception i'm going to
tell you about something that
really caught my eye floating hotels
this phenomenon has been popping up all
over the world in recent years
with middle eastern countries like the
united arab emirates and qatar leading
the way
with their exciting and innovative
structures
check out this new concept from a
turkish design team that
leads the way when it comes to
eco-consciousness
this hotel features 152 rooms and get
this
it not only generates its own
electricity but it also collects
and reuses rainwater and food waste the
designers have worked with numerous
experts including
ship construction engineers and
architects to come up with this bold
projectwhich has been in the works since march
2020
this floating structure would work in a
similar way to a dynamo
utilizing the water currents with wind
turbines and tidal power as it rotates
converting the energy into electricity
its movement would be controlled by
dynamic positioning
a computer program used to maintain the
position and direction of ships
as well as propellers and thrusters now
i know what you're thinking
won't you get dizzy with all that
spinning well rest assured
the designers say guests are unlikely to
experience
any dizziness as it takes 24 hours for
the hotel
to spin a full 360 degrees although the
project has no estimated price tag yet
the team has set a 2025 completion date
back to you carl
it wasn't too long ago that we showed
you a cargo ship that got stuck in the
suez canal
so why would someone try to navigate a
308 foot
super yacht through the narrow canals of
holland well the company that built the
shiphad to ship it and get it from their
shipyard to the north sea
this was the way to do that the
photographer who recorded the video says
the process takes place four to six
times a year
he also says people love to see it
unless they're stuck at a drawbridge
waiting for it to pass
for them it's a hard sale they have a
vesseled interest in getting through and
probably wonder if the company can help
itwhy not float the idea of overnight
shipping and see what that's all about
it's certainly something to think about
because in terms of dayside effort
it takes a yacht up Carl Azuz darby high

have a great weekend everyone from all
