10. a u.s government rule requiring
masks on public transportation is up in
the air right now americans do not have
to cover their faces on planes trains
buses and ride shares that's because of
a federal judge's ruling earlier this
week that struck down the biden
administration's mask mandate for public
transport the court ruled that the
centers for disease control didn't have
the authority to require people to wear
masks on tuesday when he was asked about
whether people should keep wearing masks
on planes president joe biden responded
quote that's up to them but wednesday
night his administration said it would
appeal the court's decision officials
say the cdc had determined that a mask
mandate for travelers was still
necessary to protect the public health
against covet 19. so what happens next
well after the mandate was struck down
many u.s airlines and public transit
systems made masks optional they still
are travelers in the u.s won't be
required to wear them again unless an
appeals court overturns the lower
court's decision but no matter what it
decides this case could eventually get
to the u s supreme court and it has
ruled against some of the government's
covet 19 requirements in the past last
month before any of this happened
several major airlines had asked the
biden administration to get rid of its
mask mandate united was one of them and
its ceo now says he thinks it's unlikely
that one will come back anytime soon
10 second trivia the equator runs
directly through which of these
countries kenya tanzania nigeria or
ethiopia
all of these countries are close to the
equator but only kenya is actually
crossed by it
the great pacific garbage patch is
probably the best known collection of
litter in the ocean it's located between
hawaii and california it extends below
the ocean surface and contains particles
of everything from styrofoam cups and
bottle caps to fishing nets and micro
plastics tiny pieces of trash but this
isn't the only place where garbage
collects in the sea new research is
being done on and around the coast of
kenya in the western indian ocean to get
a sense of plastic pollution there and
to devise new methods of dealing with it
the ancient city of lamu a popular part
of the northern coast of kenya but the
indian ocean brings more than just
tourists to the llama archipelago
tons of marine ladder is also washing up
on these shores mostly plastic they pick
up what they can but more keeps coming
this is it was manufactured in indonesia
definitely i've never seen this being
sold in kenya fast clean never seen this
my brand from here that's not a brand
that's sold manufactured in china china
nestle
noodles don't recognize them over here
can kenya banned single-use plastic from
protected areas including beaches but
they're still being manufactured locally
and piling up all over the coastline a
major headache for the local government
we're more
receivers of the plastics than
the givers of the plastic
this plastic is dumped elsewhere and
drifts to our shows i guess we're a
magnetic
place
and we hope we can also attract
good things not just uh junk
who calls herself mama plasticky has
been collecting that junk from her
community for 35 years but there's
nowhere to take most of it
we don't have a market for this plastic
so it has slowed us down a little we had
two people working on this but we ran
out of money so we're stuck with it
even this better funded effort to clean
up plastic from around lamu is barely
scratching the surface
the mountains of plastic waste
just keeps growing here on the canyon
coast and is threatening the oceans the
mangroves
and the tourism industry here
discarded plastic is sorted then crushed
at this facility
breaking it down into smaller particles
that can get molded into something more
useful
this is incredibly strong this is a
product of sorted crushed and washed
plastics they give this and it could
revolutionize construction this one
gonna utilize where chimba is used we
can innovate and put whatever is lying
at their backyards to something useful
these boats are leading a scientific
expedition to study the impact of marine
litter on the east african coast its
organizers the flip-floppy projects say
this is the first time such research is
being carried out on this part of the
west indian ocean
the scientists are measuring the
presence of nano micro and macro
plastics in the ocean
what do you hope to learn from the
samples you're collecting for the first
time we'll be able to understand how
deep
can you still find
plastic pollution most focuses has been
on the surface now i want to understand
because actually even most of the
organisms they live underneath
by 2050 without intervention there will
be more plastic than fish in the ocean
the u.n has warned
some of it may build the next sailing
boat like this one made entirely of
flip-flops but most of it just
suffocates marine life and coastal
communities
someone needs to pay for this this is
not something that these communities and
us as local organizations can support
and solve yes we are contributing to it
but it's a global problem it's no
different to climate change in that
respect
residents here are doing every bit they
can to tackle a global problem at the
local level
for the first time in more than 10 years
netflix has lost subscribers the
us-based streaming service and
production company has been struggling
in 2022 it had been expected to add two
and a half million subscribers in the
first three months of this year instead
netflix lost 200 000 subscribers and its
stock as a result of that announcement
this week took a nosedive on the market
it dropped 35 percent on wednesday alone
netflix still has more than 221 million
subscribers around the world it's still
profitable the company made 1.6 billion
dollars in the first part of this year
but that's down from 1.7 billion in the
same period last year why is this
happening
consumers are fatigued i think with all
the streaming options that are out there
and an environment of rising inflation
everything is more expensive
cutting back on streaming services is a
natural thing to potentially do if
you're worried about
when you go to the grocery store order
groceries online and how much more
expensive everything that you need to
eat and live on a daily basis which is
not netflix exactly uh you know is
rising and going higher so i think that
is potentially a problem and then that
crackdown on password sharing is also
likely to hurt netflix because it shows
that there aren't really as many paying
consumers as netflix would like
i've always thought our show opened like
fridays is awesome but it's been the
same for five years now so we're working
on an update parents and teachers cnn 10
is looking for original artwork
featuring the number 10 to use in our
new show opening we're particularly
interested in creative number 10s that
illustrate something cool about the
place where you live if you'd like to
take part please send a photo of your
artwork to cnn10 at cnn.com with your

if you think 10 bucks is a little steep
for three tacos at least this chipotle
in minnesota lets you eat them at the
lake so to speak a badly designed
parking lot here has had a puddle for
years some days it's bigger than others
but it's always there so locals started
calling it lake chipotle and now it's a
tourist attraction with its own website
fan clubs and a spot on google maps some
critics say it's inconvenient when it
floods too many spaces but it sure gives
folks something to talk about of course
it makes for a soggy bowl it chips away
at the places to park your carnitas and
some will say okay so we gotta find
somewhere else to burrito but for those
who said holy guacamole when they saw
such a lake lot at least the drink is
