Hi I'm Carl Azuz. Thank you for choosing
us as your objective source for current
events
popular college majors in america
include business
engineering nursing psychology and
biologybut there are millions of jobs opening
up in a field that may not require a
college degree
and the shortage of workers in it is
threatening to hurt the u.s economy
since last year that economy has been
roaring back from the shutdowns of the
coveted pandemic
it's missing workers in the field of
manufacturing
welders are needed machinists are needed
companies have had problems filling
these jobs for years and they say it's
only gotten worse
according to a study published tuesday
by the deloitte professional services
network and the manufacturing institute
more than 2 million manufacturing jobs
could go
unfilled by the year 2030. leaders in
the field say many young americans don't
want to work in factories or don't know
that there are jobs available there
they say some mistakenly believe robots
will take over these positions
or that they'll be outsourced to other
countries it is true that robots are
seeing increased use in factories
one startup company says it's developed
a robotic welding system
but a manufacturing institute executive
says people are still needed because
they're more creative and can develop
solutions to future problems
the us unemployment rate the percentage
of workers who don't have a job
is still significantly higher than the
record lows it saw before covet hit
america
but manufacturing companies say they're
having trouble filling even
entry-level positions that don't require
previous training
part of the problem there is that
companies like chewie and amazon
large warehouse and distribution centers
are attracting entry-level workers away
from factories
even though experts say manufacturers
can often give
more and better long-term opportunities
some analysts say they need to do more
outreach to let people know where the
jobs are in the month of march
american manufacturing hit its highest
level in 37 years according to the
reuters news agency
ten-second trivia which of these nations
borders the black sea
poland moldova ukraine or greece
of these options only ukraine borders
the black sea
crimea is a peninsula in the black sea
officially it used to be part of ukraine
but russia annexed it meaning russia
took it over in 2014
after crimeans voted to be part of
russia at that time russian president
vladimir putin said crimea's government
followed international law by holding
the vote
but critics say it was not a fair
election the obama administration which
led the u.s
in 2014 said russia's annexation of
crimea broke international law and that
the u.swouldn't recognize it most other nations
have also refused to recognize crimea as
being part of russia
but the peninsula has functioned as a
russian republic since 2014
and it gives russia a strategically
important warm water port
in the black sea what's happened in
crimea is one example of a deep divide
in ukraine
the country used to be part of the
soviet union which was dominated by
russiatoday many ukrainians identify
themselves as russian
while many others do not and want to
have closer ties with europe
there's been an armed conflict in
ukraine since 2014 with russia
supporting the side that wants
independence from the ukrainian
government
tensions have spilled from land to sea
this is a first glimpse of putin's
latestarmada bristling with weapons in
disputed waters
between russia and ukraine kremlin says
these are just naval exercises
the missiles are real the ukraine so is
the threat
ukrainian vessels on the strategic sea
of azov
have been warned to steer clear will i
get on board
no i'll do it but we gained rare access
to a ukrainian coastal patrol setting
outin high seas to challenge what they say
is russia's illegal
naval cordon something moscow rejects
in recent weeks ukrainian navy says its
votes have been harassed by russia
with moscow shifting its military focus
so we've come out here to the very rough
sea of azel
as you can see as russian forces
pull back their troops from the border
of ukraine
they're redeploying naval forces here
into this sea whoa of azov
raising concerns in ukraine and around
the world
that the military pressure they're
replying
on ukraine from the land
[Music]
the commander of the patrol boat tells
me how russian forces
are increasingly behaving aggressively
blocking access he says to what should
be shared waters
even stopping
444 says the message reminding you
to keep a safe distance confirm you're
receivingthe russian voice
we see you ukrainian sailor responds
we're proceeding according
all right so we've come to a stop now
you heard the captain there say
there's a russian ship in the horizon
you can just see it over there
it's a russian coast guard ship we're
about two nautical miles away
which is just over two regular miles
and we can't go any closer because
if we do there could be some
interception
by the russians to us and i think the
ukrainian coast guard want to
avoid that it wouldn't be the first
naval clash in the region
[Music]
this is the extraordinary moment the
russian coast guard rammed
the ukrainian tugboats in the area back
in 2018.
russian ships also fired on ukrainian
naval vessels
seizing three and escalating tensions
in the seas of crimea annexed from
ukraine in 2014.
american ships have been challenged too
this a low pass by a russian warplane
witnessed from the deck of a u.s
destroyer earlier this year now tensions
on the seas
are ratcheting up once more

foreign
there was this rickety old wooden
platform near where i grew
up that my dad liked to call take your
chance bridge
hopefully this is nothing like that at
almost 1700 feet long and more than 570
feet above a river
this is the longest pedestrian
suspension bridge in the world
it takes about 10 minutes to walk across
it it costs 2.8 million dollars to build
itand if you find yourself in portugal
with 14
in your pocket you too can take a chance
unless it's a bridge too far
it is a long way from madison county the
water beneath it is not the river kwai
it's probably not a bridge of spies and
it doesn't lead to terabithia
but while it'll keep you in suspense it
hopefully won't leave you there while
it'll help you cross it hopefully won't
leave you across
and once you get there you'll be able to
say you are well traversed
in crossing bridges. I'm Carl Azuz for
