hello everyone i m carl azuz
headlining today's edition of our show
new developments in the middle east
and the landfall of a cyclone in india
not since2014 has there been so much violence
between palestinians and israelis
from the palestinian-controlled
territory of gaza more than 3 100
rockets have been fired into israeli
lands
israel says many of them have missed or
gotten intercepted by its missile
defense system
but some rockets have hit populated
areas killing at least 10 people since
the violence flared up more than a week
ago
meantime israeli warplanes have launched
airstrikes on gaza
their targets have included tunnels
residences and other buildings that
israel says were being used by hamas
that's the name of a palestinian
militant group that controls gaza
israel and some other countries consider
hamas to be a terrorist organization
the health ministry run by hamas says
more than 200 people have been killed in
gazaand tens of thousands of others have had
to flee their homes
other countries have called on israelis
and palestinians to stop their attacks
on one another
but when we produced this show the two
sides had not agreed on what would have
to happen
for a ceasefire to take place a little
over two thousand miles east of israel
and gazaa different kind of violence has struck
cyclone tate
made landfall monday on the west coast
of india it had been moving up along
that coast beforehand
killing several people destroying
hundreds of homes
and forcing tens of thousands to
evacuate ahead of its landfall tate was
the equivalent of a category three
atlantic hurricane
its sustained wind speeds were about 127
miles per hour according to the joint
typhoon warning center
it's brought extremely heavy rains to
western india causing severe flooding
and power outages
india's government has deployed dozens
of rescue teams to affected areas
its coast guard and navy are supporting
those efforts with ships and helicopters
india has been grappling with a wave of
coronavirus cases
setting records earlier this month for
the number of new diagnoses
those numbers have dropped a bit since
then and the country said it was taking
steps to make sure
hospitals in the areas affected by the
cyclone would have electricity and
enough oxygen supplies
after moving over land tate was expected
to bring heavy rainfall to the high
ground in northern india
10 second trivia what is the official
color of the golden gate bridge
burnt sienna international orange
vermilion or california poppy
the distinctive color that helps the
bridge stand out in the fog
is called international orange
[Music]
some call it singing some call it
humming some call it musical and
many call it annoying but one thing they
can all agree on
is that san francisco's golden gate
bridge is making
a noise
[Applause]
last year bridge officials made changes
to his sidewalk safety railing on the
western side of the structure
they installed thinner slats so more air
could flow through
and they said they knew the bridge would
sing when there were high winds
the tonal or organ-like sound can be
heard for
miles away according to a bridge
spokesman some people think it's quote
meditative and angelic but officials say
most people
don't like it and while their design
change was reportedly necessary to keep
the bridge
safe other workers on the golden gate
say they're developing
a fix for the sound which they'll
discuss in the months ahead
the golden gate bridge gets its name
because it spans what's called the
golden gate strait
this is a three mile long and one mile
wide body of water
that connects the pacific ocean to the
san francisco bay
before the golden gate bridge there was
a bustling ferry system
that ran people and commerce between san
francisco and the redwood empire to the
north
it's actually unknown how many people
worked on the golden gate bridge at the
time of construction
because records were were scarce from
that time
today we have close to 200 employees who
work to maintain
to paint to weld to
make sure that the bridge is in in good
and safe operating condition
so we're right now getting sand blasting
on the outer part of the bridge which is
up underneath right now where the
walkway is where the
pedestrians ride after 3 30 so the cars
are
probably just about 15 feet out you
can't feel it but the bridge is probably
moving
you know like this as we're standing in
a containment like this
a rough estimate 16 people
sand blasting for a month and a half our
painters will go out to the most
critical
you know structural areas of the bridge
where the fog and the salt and the wind
has corroded
the paint the salt eats this bridge up
thefog eats this bridge up if we don't
continue to paint it
it's just gonna rot away
iron workers at the golden gate bridge
do everything from swing stages to
platforms
structural steel replacement we take out
the old rivets
put in high strength bolts in their
place and replace all the steel when it
gets rusted out there to make sure it's
safe for the public
[Music]
the nickname for the ironworkers is uh
cowboys in the sky
back in the day they'd say they look up
there and say look at those crazy
cowboys up there
and so the name kind of stuck cowboys in
the sky
[Music]
folks out there every day making sure
that the bridge is structurally sound
and looking good
the current's pretty strong around here
i mean you can end up
out there quicker and you know it
right here is one of our fog horns we
all have two of them down here one over
one on the east side one on the west
side we've always had foghorns here at
the bridge since the
since it was built not much changes in
fog horns they just
make noise
[Music]
we tried automated systems it just
doesn't doesn't work so the
the old standby system of actually
visually seeing
works the best because there's people
here 24 7.
[Music]
so as of july of 2018 the toll to cross
the golden gate bridge is seven dollars
if you have a fast track or eight
dollars if you don't maybe you're up
from out of town
and this supports much of the work that
happens on a daily basis to maintain the
bridge to keep it looking good
and ensure that it's accessible for
everyone
[Music]
a daring and death-defying rescue
mission wraps up today's show
well maybe not exactly daring or death
defying but it does involve
ducks 12 little ones and their mother
recently wandered out of central park
into a more populated part of new york
city
you can't see the ducklings here but you
can hear them they're cheaping from the
carrier that police officers put them in
mother duck could hear them too and she
followed them and police back to central
park where the wayward bird family was
reunited
well you know they come cheaper by the
ducks and and it's nice police were
there to help them out of their mallardy
because
while ducks are known to occasionally go
dabbling in adventure
it's not like they can whistle or for
help when they don't know widgeon way to
turnthere's no such thing as a 9-1-1 duck
call either so
it is a good thing that police were able
to preserve their dynasty
from central park we're going to central
high school the one in knoxville
tennessee
