Hi I'm Carl Azuz delivering your tuesday
edition of CNN 10. It's always good to
see you
the south asian country of india is our
first stop today it's experiencing a new
wave of coronavirus infections
and it's a big one india is the second
most populated nation on the planet
it's roughly a third the size of the
united states but it has
four times the number of people more
than 1.3 billion live in india
health experts say the country's first
wave of coronavirus infections
peaked last september october at that
time india was reporting about a hundred
thousand positive tests per day
the numbers dipped during the winter but
this month theyskyrocketed india has recorded more than
300
000 new cases each day for most of the
last week
that's an international record in the
capital of new delhi
there is both a lockdown and a shortage
of oxygen supplies
the gas is used to help people who are
critically sick and having trouble
breathingbut new delhi doesn't produce its own
oxygen so it's asked the country's
government to send help which it has
promised to provide
other nations like the united states the
united kingdom germany
ireland singapore and russia are
offering oxygen or other medical
suppliesso is pakistan and that's significant
because even though it shares a border
with indiathe two nations are bitter rivals
despite india's spike in coronavirus
cases
the country's medical officials are
telling people not to panic
a large percentage of those who test
positive for covid have
no symptoms but if people with mild
cases rush to hospitals anyway which
some of them have
it puts pressure on medical centers and
makes it harder for them to focus on
those who are at higher risk from severe
cases
one expert says people who have mild or
no symptoms should treat themselves at
home
ten-second trivia which of these empires
dissolved the most recently
ottoman empire kingdom of prussia king
dynasty or russian
empire
of these options only the ottoman empire
lasted until 1922.
[Music]
in 1914 the ottoman empire was home to
about
two million armenians an ancient group
of people who lived in the region
by 1922 the number of armenians and what
had become turkey had fallen to
four hundred thousand what happened to
them armenians say
it was genocide that during world war
one the ottoman empire
murdered or forced hundreds of thousands
of armenians to flee
and there is photographic evidence that
large numbers of armenians were killed
turkey strongly opposes the use of the
word genocide
its government says turkish and armenian
lives were lost during world war one
and that the number of armenians who
died is closer to three hundred thousand
the term genocide has divided turkey and
armenia
it's also a word that american leaders
have hesitated to use
the last one who referred to the
genocide of armenians was former
president ronald reagan in 1981
but this month president joe biden
officially recognized the armenian
genocide at the hands of the ottoman
empire
turkey rejected his statement and said
it would worsen the nation's
relationship
but that country's leader also said he
aims to open a new door with the u.s
this june for many armenians recognizing
the brutality endured by their ancestors
is a crucial step in writing a historic
wrong but modern-day turkey that rose
from the ashes of the ottoman empire
has long maintained the killings were
not systematic
were smaller in number and do not meet
the legal definition
of genocide in fact the word genocide
and the legal framework around it
only entered the mainstream after world
war ii
the word was coined by a polish lawyer
to describe the nazi
systematic attempt to eradicate jews in
europe
what we now call the holocaust
turkey has softened its position over
the years with turkish leader
egypt erdogan in 2014 issuing a
first ever statement calling the events
of 1915
a shared pain and offering condolences
to the descendants of the kilt
turkey still argues the events need to
be put in historical context
that hundreds of thousands of people
from other groups also lost their lives
in rampant killings
some of which were carried out by
armenians the historical debate has long
been overshadowed by
politics in recognition of the armenian
genocide
for years turkey's allies in the west
had sidestepped the label of genocide in
order to keep ankara in the fold
as turkey's ties with the west became
rockier than ever
a slew of genocide recognition bills
have been passed in european capitals
turkey's rivals like russia and syria
also jumped in to recognize the genocide
label
one of the remaining holdouts has been
the united states
but with u.s turkish relations strained
to new lows over the last two years
momentum has been building in washington
to recognize the events
as a genocide during his term president
obama shied away from using the term
genocide
choosing to call it mediagun an armenian
term meaning
the great calamity in 2019 both the
senate and house passed a resolution
to recognize the armenian genocide but
president trump refused
to call the events a genocide arwa

istanbul though r and d
is moving ahead on the hyperloop an
extremely
high speed form of magnetic rail
transportation
it's still unknown if it'll make
financial sense to build hyperloop
passenger networks
they may not be able to carry as many
passengers as current trains
and there are concerns about
catastrophic accidents if something goes
wrongso what's going right
november 8th 2020 just outside las vegas
nevadavirgin hyperloop passed another
milestone in its ambitious
journey to revolutionize the way we move
it carried out its first passenger ride
[Music]
josh geigel ceo and co-founder of virgin
hyperloop
and sarah luchan the director of
passenger experience
were the first to test it out and what
was that experience
like for you oh it was absolutely
incredible it was
phenomenal to be sitting in a vehicle
that we designed built we've made safe
and once we started going down the pod
we felt a nice gentle acceleration
and then we got this is a pretty short
test but we got to the end
and all we want to do is go back again
[Music]
virgin hyperloop is harnessing magnetic
levitation technology
and wants to take it to the next level
so what we want to do is be the first
new mode of mass transportation in over
100 years so we're not a plane we're not
a car we're not a boat
what we are is a pod moving inside of a
tubeat the speed of an aircraft for a
fraction of the energy consumption
basically taking you directly from where
you are to where you want to be without
stopping in every place along the way
smooth electrically sustainably
autonomously it's this idea that
being able to move 10 times faster than
you know a car and doing that for a
fraction of the emissions being able to
connect being able to move
so many people being able to save so
many i'll say
tons of omissions is that it's really
going to open up a lot of opportunities
has the pandemic altered the course of
your planning or the execution of your
pilot projects
what impact has it had for you the thing
that i think is
maybe a little bit of a silver lining if
we could say that about the
pandemic is that it's really accelerated
the talk about sustainability
we've seen a world with less congestion
we've seen a world with less pollution
we've also felt this absolute human
desire to be connected to each other
so we want to see each other we want
things faster and this is the
opportunity for us to rethink
what it is we're doing about the future
and make some changes instead of
building back the past we can actually
build back the future
the fight to decide the one true josh
10 out of 10. last year this dude named
josh challenged other dudes named josh
to a battle royale
whoever won would get to keep his name
the others would have to change theirs
well
scores of josh's showed up there was so
much interest that the event raised
money for a food bank and a children's
hospital
and after a giant fight with pool
noodlesa four-year-old nicknamed littlejosh
came out the victor
oh my josh now you might have thought we
were just joshing you until you saw that
josh pitt but josh you wait
when a battle results in that many
josh's getting their josh desserts
justice has been served that is hard to
say
