Shall I compare thee to a summer's day
I shall compare thee to a friday because
thou art
awesome i m carl azuz welcome to the
show the torch has been passed
the olympic torch that is it's making
its way through the prefectures of japan
the traditional carrying of the olympic
symbol has been rerouted several times
since the relay began in late march
just like plans have changed several
times for how the nation will host the
games while there are concerns about the
spread of coronavirus
more than 15 000 athletes olympians and
paralympians
were originally scheduled to travel to
japan for the games
their postponement from last summer to
this one marked the first time
since 1896 that the modern games were
ever put off and rescheduled and polls
have shown that most japanese
are still opposed to having the games
this summer since covet 19
started spreading health officials say
japan has recorded more than 580 000
positive tests overall that's less than
dozens of countries that have smaller
populations than
japan's but with a new wave of
infections spreading in the asian
country
new restrictions are being put in place
and new questions are being raised about
the upcoming olympics
they're currently set to begin on july
23rd we've reported how fans from other
countries
won't be allowed what about fans from
japan itself
olympic officials say they're prepared
to have no spectators at the tokyo games
with the olympics just months away
officials still have yet to make a
decision on how many people
if any can attend they say they're
postponing their decision
until june because of pandemic
developments overseas spectators have
already been banned
japan is currently struggling to contain
a fourth wave of copin 19 cases the
prime minister
has just declared yet another state of
emergency in tokyo
and several other prefectures meantime
japan has fully vaccinated less than one
percent of its population the situation
here on the ground has once again
reignited doubts as to whether or not
japan can successfully hold the games
but organizers say that they're
confident officials have
just released new detail on kovid 19
countermeasures in a
30-page olympic playbook all
participants are required to take two
copin 19 tests before entering japan
athletes and close contacts will be
tested every day
while athletes are not required to
quarantine for 14 days here in japan
their movements will be restricted and
tracked with smartphone apps
for athletes it is clear that these
games will be like no other they'll be
socially distanced and
handshakes and hugs are not allowed but
despite these coveted 19 countermeasures
experts are still concerned that these
games could turn into a
super spreader event one that not only
spreads more contagious copen19 variants
throughout japan
but also around the world during a press
conference the tokyo 2020 ceo toshi
hiromuto was asked if postponing the
tokyo games
again is an option he said that with the
beijing olympics in 2022 the paris games
in 2024
and all of the logistical challenges
involved he said that another
postponement would be quote
probably not practical selena wang
cnn tokyo all that's a direct
impact of the response to coronavirus
among its strange
and unpredicted ripple effects a
possible shortage of gasoline
it's not because there's less crude oil
or refined gas to buy
it's because there's a shortage of truck
drivers needed to get that gas to the
stationsthe national tank truck carriers an
industry trade group
says roughly 20 to 25 percent of tanker
trucks are parked right now
because there aren't enough qualified
drivers to run them that number was 10
percent before coronavirus hit
where did the drivers go when the
shutdowns occurred last year there was
very little demand for gasoline
so without work many drivers left the
industry some took other jobs some
retired
drivers schools were shut down so
there's been a delay in the qualified
workers that come out of those
and there are new safety rules in place
that have reduced the number of drivers
tanker companies are raising pay to
attract new workers but that increases
prices for customers so as the summer
driving season heats up
experts say higher gas prices are almost
certain and
gas shortages are possible
ten-second trivia in terms of land area
which of these nations is the smallest
canada china
russia united states
china is the smallest physical nation on
this list though it has the world's
largest population
china is currently building a new space
station in low earth orbit
the country launched the first module of
it on thursday morning
it'll take several sections to complete
the new station and china hopes to have
it up and running by the end of next
yearit's expected to operate for 10 to 15
yearsand while it won't be as big as the
international space station
the future of the iss is uncertain it
costs more than a billion dollars per
year to run it
nasa wants other users to help pay for
that and russia says it plans to leave
the iss
project in 2025 still some scientists
hope the iss could advance
future missions to mars that's a planet
they've had their eyes on for years
as you can see in this mars report that
cnn put together
in 1985.
the mariner spacecraft offered the first
look at mars
any thoughts of strange creatures from
another world quickly dried
stay tuned for up
photographs revealed a desolate barren
waste
two years later a quite different
picture emerged this time of a planet
with gigantic volcanoes and canyons
and relics of river beds again the
questions
had there been running water and life on
mars
pictures sent back from the viking
orbiters until 1982
offered no definitive answer as far as
we can tell right now
there is no sign of life on mars in
which case mars poses a
remarkable opportunity scientist carl
sagan is talking about putting a man on
mars by the year 2010
a goal being pushed by a joint meeting
of the planetary society
and american institute of aeronautics
mars is the
planet with the closest environment to
the earth in all of the solar system
and life is on one and not on the other
how
come it's the classic situation of the
experiment
and the control both the u.s and soviet
union plan
further exploration of mars over the
next five years
while those missions are unmanned nasa
administrator james banks says he's
certain
someday man will walk on mars it's been
estimated here this afternoon that we
might well be on our way to mars
the first decade of the next century i'm
not quite that ambitious but certainly
before the space age reaches the ripe
old age of
50 years or so i believe the program
will be underway
most of the technology to put men on
mars is already available
money is not to cut costs and promote
better soviet u.s
relations planetary society members a
number of congressional members
and scientists are promoting a mission
to mars as an
international effort andrea fleischer

next time your internet goes out don't
rush to blame your service provider or
spotty wi-fi
it could just be the beavers at least it
was recently in tumblr ridge british
columbiaofficials say that while beavers there
were building a dam internet fiber
cables apparently got in their way so
the animals just chewed them in half

bizarre
