[Music]
hello and welcome hope you had an
awesome weekend I'm KY wire grateful to
be here with you for another awesome
week of CNN 10 we've got a solid 10
minutes of news for you to start off
your week we do go first though to
unbelievable scenes out of Bangladesh
where flood waters have been chin High
impacting millions of people in the
northeastern part of the country homes
businesses and farmland are underwater
after torrential rains hit the region
emergency crews are scrambling to
evacuate hundreds of thousands of people
from flooded communities and rescue
residents stranded on rooftops Army and
Navy personnel with the help of
volunteers are using boats to navigate
flooded towns and cities bringing people
to government buildings and schools that
have been converted into shelters sadly
dozens of people have lost their lives
now many in Bangladesh are pointing
blame at neighboring India where some
areas are also flooded Bangladesh has
many Deltas from rivers that flow
through it from India and toward the sea
students in Bangladesh have recently
been protesting the release of water
from a dam just across the border Indian
officials denied that the flooding was
due to the forced opening of that Dam
saying that any release of water was
automatic because of high water levels
caused by the heavy rains but they did
acknowledge that there was a power
outage near the dam that led to
communication issues more wet weather is
still to come across the region with
forecasts calling for 2 to 6 in of rain
over the next 3 days we are in fenny the
epicenter of the floods here in
Bangladesh we've boarded a boat uh which
is attempting to get to areas that uh
are
completely cut
off here we have the
Army and they've obviously rescued we're
from
CNN they've rescued these families these
women and children are aboard the
boat there is such an acute shortage of
boats on the way up on the highway it
was truck after truck carrying boats as
far as the bangladeshis are concerned
they are they are livid they are Furious
their homes have been flooded their
livelihoods their their shops everything
is underwater and Bangladesh is no
stranger to floods it in fact has one of
the the best early Warning Systems in
South Asia but there was no warning in
this case all right next up many of us
know how frustrating it can be when our
flight at an airport is delayed but
imagine not being able to catch your
flight for eight months that's what's
happening for two astronauts Sunni
Williams and Butch Wilmore currently
aboard the International Space Station
they had technical issues on the Boeing
Starliner spacecraft that launched them
into space back in June NASA has been
working with Boeing on solutions to the
helium leaks in the spacecrafts Thruster
and now has a plan to get them home in
the safest way
possible a village in India is seeking
some help from above to bring us
astronaut Sunny Williams back to Earth
Williams father was from the village so
locals feel a special kinship to her and
are praying for her safe return after an
Extended Stay in
[Music]
space but NASA has finally given a more
downto Earth solution to just how and
when Williams and fellow Boeing
Starliner astronaut Butch Wilmore will
return to Earth after spending nearly 3
months aboard the International Space
Station on a mission that was only
supposed to last a little more than a
week NASA has decided that Butch and
sunny will return with crew nine next
February and that Starliner will return
uncrewed going it was Star liner's first
time carrying astronauts to the
ISS but technical issues with thrust ERS
made NASA reconsider the ride home
opting instead to return the crew on a
SpaceX spacecraft that sheduled For an
upcoming Mission it's a setback for
Boeing which has struggled to keep up
with SpaceX in NASA's commercial crew
program but Nelson says hard lessons
from the past including the losses of
two space shuttles weighed heavily on
the decision our core value is safety
and it is are North Star FAL SPX NASA
says it's reconfiguring the upcoming
SpaceX crew 9 mission to send only two
crew members to the ISS instead of four
Williams and Wilmore are both Veterans
of two long duration stays on the space
station and NASA says they're not only
prepared to fill out the crew n team but
they're already hard at work since
they've been up there they've been a
welcome set of Helping Hands they've
already done about a 100 hours of work
42 different experiments and they've
helped us with some of the critical
station maintenance that we've had on
board Wilm Mo's family said that they
were aware there could be a delay which
means more months of FaceTiming to keep
in touch all right it is so cool he
gives us a lot of Earth views I
especially like um seeing the sunset and
there'll be plenty more of those in
space for Williams and Wilmore which at
least in NASA's view is a safer
option Pop Quiz Hot Shot which of these
is listed as one of the new Seven
Wonders of the World Great Pyramid of
Giza Hanging Gardens of Babylon Light
House of Alexandria or Great Wall of
China not to be confused with the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World The Great
Wall of China is the only one to appear
on the list of new world wonders built
over two Millennia is considered to be
one of the largest building construction
projects in the
world tourists hiking on the Great Wall
of China can now get food delivered from
the
[Music]
air the drones can also deliver medicine
and heat relief items to tourists in
China's sweltering
Summers the drone delivery fee is 4 un
or 56 with customers placing orders via

of love for olympion series last week we
