hi i m carl azuz for cnn 10.
the worst violence in years between
israelis and palestinians leads off
today's show
the roots of their ongoing conflict date
back more than 100 years
the two sides have fought over land
borders and the status of jerusalem
which both sides revere as a holy city
the latest flare-up seems to have
started with daily fighting between
palestinians and israeli police in
mid-april
that's when the muslim holy month of
ramadan began palestinians were
concerned that israeli settlers would
evict some palestinian families from
their homes in east jerusalem
there was an israeli police raid on an
islamic holy site earlier this week
after palestinians reportedly barricaded
themselves inside it with stones and
homemade weapons
since then the situation has gotten more
violent militants in the palestinian
controlled territory of gaza have fired
more than 1 000 rockets into israel this
weekmany of them were intercepted by an
israeli missile defense system
but dozens have landed in israel whose
military says at least
seven israelis have been killed and
hundreds of others injured
israel has launched airstrikes into gaza
whose palestinian health ministry says
at least 56 people have been killed
and hundreds more injured there israel
says it's eliminated a number of
militant commanders and that there's no
end date for its operation in gaza a
leader of the palestinian territory says
if israel wants to escalate the
situation
palestinians are ready for it but both
sides say they'll stop
when the other one does aside from these
operations some israeli towns have also
seen fighting between their arab and
jewish populations
leaders from around the world are
calling on all sides to stop the
violence
10 second trivia what is the biggest
factor in the price of gasoline
taxes distribution crude oil or refining
costs
the cost of crude oil is the biggest
factor in what we pay for a gallon of
gasoline
[Music]
the ripple effects continue to spread
last week's cyber attack on america's
largest fuel pipeline has led to
shortages of gasoline in several u.s
statesaccording to gas buddy an application
that tracks fuel demand
there were outages in nearly a quarter
of all gas stations in north carolina
15 percent of stations in georgia and
virginia were dry
south carolina saw significant outages
this is all as of wednesday morning
and gas buddy says the problem was much
worse around major southeastern cities
several governors have declared states
of emergency relaxing some gas rules and
encouraging cooperation to address the
problemthe federal government's telling
consumers not to panic buy and hoard
gasoline
and stations not to price gouge or
overcharge people for it
outside the southeast there's reportedly
plenty of fuel
colonial pipeline the company that was
hacked said it was restarting its
operations on wednesday afternoon
but it could still be several days
before supplies are fully restored in
the southeast
the latest problem caused by the
colonial pipeline hack is panic at the
pump with
lines at some stations getting longer
the 5500 mile pipeline
supplies about 45 percent of all fuel
used on the east coast it looks like
they just ran out
they charged me 11 cents even though
experts say the rush
is not necessary for now the white house
insists there are no
widespread fuel shortages but that has
not stopped people from buying gas
fast oil analysts tell cnn that will
lead to more than a thousand stations
running out of gas soon
with the biggest impacts in georgia and
tennessee
on monday demand jumped 40 percent in
five states
from florida to virginia it is a very
serious problem right now
84 year old bill holtzman has spent his
entire career distributing gas to
stations in virginia
but with the colonial pipeline mostly
offline holtzman's trucks are now
scrambling to fill up elsewhere
holtzman says this colonial terminal in
fairfax virginia
is now dry our goal is to not have any
stations out of gasoline
and unfortunately that's probably going
to happen and that really bothers me
aaa says the price of a gallon of gas
has shot up more than 7
cents in the last week the new national
average now more than
2.98 cents the highest in six years
oil analyst tom klosa says with some
stations now selling four times the norm
the national average will soon top three
dollarswhen everybody scrambles it's like
everyone's scrambling to go
through a revolving door you have
problems and we're seeing that behavior
right now it
has spread like wildfire
it is a new damper on what the travel
industry hoped would be the start of a
rebound beyond just
road trips in atlanta the world's second
busiest airport says it is looking for
additional fuel suppliers
american airlines is even adding stops
to a few of its longer flights
unable to top off all the way energy
secretary jennifer granholm
calls this a supply crunch rather than a
gasshortage up next the work of an
architect and a structural engineer who
specializes in trash
specifically using it in building and
design recycled construction materials
may not be for everyone they might not
offer the options
colors and sizes that new materials do
but they are an environmentally friendly
way to turn
something old into something new
[Music]
what do all these places have in common
but they're all made partly from trash
and designed by this man
arthur huang is a taiwanese architect
engineer and co-founder and ceo of mini
ways
the same page right a company turning
different kinds of waste
like plastic bottles into materials for
buildingsand products across the world in nature
we produce zero waste
isn't that how the city should be isn't
that how we should build our products
everything should be circular there's no
waste everything can be
re-transformed re-up-cycle into all
kinds of
beautiful architecture
huang has spent the past 16 years
innovating such
transformation this is designed to
his team has used ways to develop over
1200 different materials for use in
construction
all over taiwan's capital taipei and
beyond
from the streets of taipei to the
tibetan plateau
huang and his team took their technology
for a test drive in 2017
with the trash presso a portable
solar powered recycling machine designed
to allow communities to recycle locally
in places where plastic waste has become
an increasing problem
like china's nyanbao yuta region in
qinghai province
our mission shifted to say how can we
actually take
many of these possible technology to the
people who actually really need it
mini-whiz has developed an ai recycling
system to detect different kinds of
plastic
which the trash presso through heat and
compression
can transform into new products
when the covet-19 pandemic hit mini-whiz
turned their engineering skills to a
different kind of transformation
huang worked with the fujian catholic
university hospital
and other partners to develop the
modular adaptable convertible or
mac ward during covert time is most
material cannot be shipped
so we are building medical parts a
medical ward system
all out of local trash all the aluminium
panels is already made from 90
recycled aluminium and even the handle
of the shelving all the
like hanging racks these are actually
already made from medical waste
a portable version can be built from
scratch in 24 hours huang says
i think that is what pandemic forces us
to become very innovative to coming up
with the solutions to
adapt to the current situation adapting
to
a pandemic and also to environmental
pressures
huang's work shows how to create a more
sustainable future
we don't need to create new things we
just need to use
our ingenuity innovations and our
good heart and good brain to transform
these
existing material into the next
generation
of products and buildings to power our

observatory that's set to open this fall
at an office skyscraper in new york city
it's called

intrepid observers as high as 1210 feet
