01:30
in political news joe biden the
01:32
projected winner of the 2020
01:34
presidential election
01:35
is planning his transition to power one
01:37
thing the president-elect has done

the weeks ahead
02:02
ten-second trivia what nation has the
02:05
most high-speed rail lines
02:07
in the world china india spain or japan
02:15
make sense that the world's most
02:16
populous nation of china would also have
02:18
the most
02:19
miles of high-speed rail
02:21
[Music]
02:23
high speed rail is generally defined as
02:25
trains that run at least 120 miles per
02:28
hour some definitions put that
02:30
at 155 but there's a type of rail under
02:33
development that could run at
02:35
several times that speed and change
02:37
transportation as we know it
02:39
it's called hyperloop engineers from
02:41
different companies have been working on
02:42
it for years
02:43
what's not known yet is if it will be
02:45
practical critics say a hyperloop
02:48
network would be very expensive to build
02:50
it wouldn't be able to carry as many
02:52
people in its trains
02:53
it would be extremely dangerous if
02:55
something goes wrong
02:57
but there's a lot of excitement about it
02:58
whenever it's tested because of its
03:02
potential
03:05
[Music]
03:16
yes
03:28
[Applause]
03:31
what we're talking about today is that
03:33
the first passenger test has now been
03:35
done
03:36
of the first new mode of transportation
03:39
mass transportation that we've had in
03:40
100 years
03:41
and we're now talking about something
03:43
that's incredibly fast up to 600 miles
03:46
an hour
03:47
that's high capacity that's on demand
03:49
and
03:50
flexible the way we want to live our
03:51
lives that can carry
03:53
people and cargo and on top of all of
03:57
that
03:58
is environmentally friendly
04:01
[Music]
04:17
i'll give you an example columbus ohio
04:20
to pittsburgh pennsylvania
04:22
if you took any single person in
04:24
columbus and said how far away is
04:26
pittsburgh everybody would say
04:27
three hours with hyperloop that's less
04:30
than 25 minutes
04:42
[Music]
04:53
i think one of the things you have to
04:54
recognize about safety
04:56
is that there are no shortcuts and
04:58
sometimes people think of that
05:00
as being an anathema to companies that
05:02
are quick innovative
05:04
entrepreneurial in the way that they're
05:06
doing it this company
05:08
virgin hyperloop has adopted a true
05:10
safety first culture of what we're doing
05:13
[Music]
05:19
i have a neighborhood which is called
05:20
the hyperloop the hyperloop hyperloop
05:22
yeah
05:26
it's something like that yeah
05:42
[Music]
05:54
i think what we're looking at now is is
05:56
certification that that will take place
05:58
in
05:59
in 2025 or 2026
06:02
and i think you'll be able to see
06:04
hyperloop projects before the end of the
06:06
decade
06:06
it's not far off we're at the moment in
06:09
time
06:10
where we're now ready to make this
06:11
happen
06:13
[Music]
06:16
among the many aspects of life
06:19
coronavirus has impacted in some way
06:21
pet adoptions working from home has led
06:24
many americans to bring home a new
06:26
companion of the fur
06:27
kind statistics on this are mixed some
06:30
companies like
06:31
pet health inc which track national
06:33
demand for dogs and cats
06:35
say adoptions in 2020 are actually less
06:38
than they were in 2019
06:40
that not as many people have gotten a
06:41
new pet during the coronavirus pandemic
06:44
however individual shelters in different
06:46
states have said they've seen a big
06:48
increase in the number of people getting
06:50
a new dog or cat
06:51
and this has led to a shortage of
06:52
available animals in some places
06:54
cnn 10 contributor chris james is one of
06:56
those new
06:57
pet parents chris
07:00

alone on this journey of
07:13
new pup parenthood the pandemic has
07:15
contributed to a puppy boom of sorts
07:18
the likes of which have never been seen
07:19
before since many of us have been
07:21
spending
07:22
so many more of our days at home we have
07:24
a lot more time
07:25
to devote to a new pump the pet supply

08:20
important to begin teaching your dog
08:22
to learn how to be okay with being alone
08:24

08:26
and to be alert for signs of separation
08:28
anxiety
08:29
all right johnny time to put you back in
08:31
your crate so i can get some work done
08:34
back to you carl
08:40
disneyland in california is still closed
08:43
along with its famous
08:44
matterhorn bobsled roller coaster so a
08:47
family in napa california built their
08:49
own
08:50
two brothers one of whom is an
08:52
architecture student enlisted the help
08:54
of
08:54
30 friends and family members and the
08:56
result was a two-story ride in their own
08:59
yard
09:00
it shares a lot of details with the real
09:01
thing a water feature
09:03
a yeti it's reportedly 20 feet tall and
09:06
it takes just under a minute to ride the
09:08
entire 400-foot track
09:10
all in all it took them about four
09:12
months to build and if you have the time
09:14
the talent the space the workforce and
09:16
no community rules that prevent this
09:18
sort of thing
09:19
you could build your own for an
09:21
estimated fifteen
09:22
thousand dollars but bragging rights
09:25
you'd be able to toot your own
09:26
matterhorn
09:27
it was a mountain of a challenge we
09:29
don't know how many times they got
09:30
stucco or were asked
09:32
are you done yeti but we're glad they
09:34
stayed on track through all the ups and
09:36
downs of the process because now they
09:38
can just
09:38
coaster after satisfying their disney
09:41
for speed
09:42

09:45
