around that time, scientists learned something extraordinary. whales were communicating with each other. sometimes by song over long distances. in part, because of that discovery, scientists and conservationists rallied to enact laws to protect the whales and it worked. the humpback whale population has made a remarkable comeback. now they face a host of new threats. global warming is killing off their food source and human activity is causing thousands of whale deaths a year from the stress of underwater construction noise to fishing entang amments and ship collisions. in the next hour, cnn s bill weir takes us to antarctica, a place very few get to visit to study these remarkable creatures and show us why saving the whales may also be saving the planet. because they are one of our best partners in battling climate change. reporter: those are the songs of humpback whales, flying about 15 billion miles away from earth, on the off chance intelligent life out there wants to
i am outside where the event will be taking place this afternoon but there has been growing opposition from protesters, citing the legitimacy and the cost. and work begins to remove the tens of thousands of floral tributes left to honour the queen, in central london. in the last few hours nasa has successfully managed to test the world s first planetary defence system by deliberately crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid. the dart mission is the first ever attempt to change the course of a large object roughly the size of a football stadium. a live camera relayed the spacecraft s final few seconds to nasa scientists before it crashed into the rock. there, oh, my goodness. oh, wow. four, three, two, one. oh, my gosh! whoo! oh, wow! visual confirmation. cheering they had a news conference after that and the dart team spoke of their relief that the mission had been achieved. it is wonderful to do something this amazing and we is wonderful to do something this amazing and we a
Magazine this week on press here. Good morning, everyone. Im scott mcgrew. Recently the Transportation Safety agency the tsa, tested its own effectiveness at airports throughout the United States attempting to sneak guns and bombs and other weapons past tsa officers. The results were abysmal, nearly every pistol grenade, ied and knife made it past a 95 failure rate. A failure rate so staggering maybe it would be more effective to let nine out of people get on willy nil willynilly on the plain with no screening whatsoever and check the tenth. How is such a failure rate possible and what should we do about it. Dr. Lisa dolev is a ph. D in engineering and veteran of the Israeli Air Force and shes saying take the humans out of the loop with automated scanning which has better than a 95 effectiveness rate and let me remind you in tests, the tsa allows allows 95 of the bad things through joined by lina rowe of fortune. I saw a man that puts his bag into the capsule and the capsule itself is
Novato. Reporter hi, natasha. Yes, highway 37 is open here in novato. Look at that. Youve got a shiny new stretch of highway to test drive this morning. We do have some pictures to show you from caltrans of the improvement work while it was being done. This is a 1500feet section of highway that were talking about. Theres new pavement, new guardrails and a new drainage system. That is key. The hope is that we will never again see the flooding that happened here last month. A heavy rain and the king tides caused this highway to shut down. They just had to close it, there was so much water. Theyre hoping these improvements will make sure that flooding like this never happens this bad again. Now, they say they cant guarantee it wont flood but theyre hoping it wont be as often and wont last as long. The lane closures out here are not completely over with so dont be surprised if theres a lane closure here and there. Theyve got to put some finishing touches on this new section of the highway,
Outside of levi stadium. I definitely think nine games is a bit much, but he got to help get this thing moving in the right place. Its bad at the beginning of a season in a new ballpark, but it is what it is. You do something, you have to pay for it. The 49ers say they prepared for this and issued this statement, saying, quote, aldon has taken responsibility for his actions and continues to show growth personally and professionally. He will continue to support him, but its time to put this matter behind us and focus on the season ahead. So, are uh surprised at the suspension, larry . Most people would say the expectation on the high side was six to eight games. So this is something of a surprise, but in my opinion, right after we saw the National Outrage over what was perceived as a light twogame slap on the wrist for ray rice in a Domestic Abuse case, i just felt that he was going to get hammered by the commissioner. Roger goodell used kind of an unusual formula to come up with the ni
