ariane: fantastic. again, we are waiting to see , as gary said, you will not get to see all the last-minute checks, but we get to see the aft fins. as gary said, they are at the base of the vehicle. there are four of those. they help direct the rocket up and down. the engine and the gimbal, the blue engine to become a 110 pounds of thrust. liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are the propellants in the engine. it's not only a powerful and also throttle-able engine, we throttle the engine back as it comes back to landon that is -- land, and that is what creates a nice, soft landing. as it comes in, it is not filled with all the propellant it had on the way up. so we throttle it back, kind of like an airplane, it comes in for a nice, soft landing. and what a trip to space and back. again, we have at 15 successful flights on and we are looking over to the 16th one, a very special one with people on board today. t minus two minutes. gary: bridge is retracting. ariane: the bridge is retracting. there is oliver

little arian delgaudo is alive because of dax hearst.as a freshman at arkansas state university >> i was talking to a girl at the time and she actually said something about going and signing up at a booth that was on campus. so i decided to go with her, you know, kind of to impress her >> reporter: that booth was a registry for dkms, a stem cell donor center it was a simple cheek swab meant to impress a girl. little did dax know that would change more than just his life just over a year later, mariano and victoria were celebrating the birth of their beautiful baby boy, arian. >> we were sent home with what seemed to be a perfect baby boy. >> reporter: the euphoria of a healthy baby boy lasted just three days then victoria and mariano received a phone call no parent wants. >> i dropped to the floor, right? i was completely devastated. >> reporter: arian had been diagnosed with a condition called severe combined immunodeficiency disorder, also known as bubble boy disease. >> darian had no functional immune system. without treatment and pro

ariane titmus, unbelievable.atie is a strong person she's the g.o.a.t. she's the greatest of all time her being able to bounce back, she has a big race this morning, the mile later on. i think she will be fine >> what about caeleb dressel they're talking about 5, 6 gold medals for him do you think he can do it? >> i chatted with him. he was happy to get the first race out of the way. the first race can be difficult, right? you're overexcited, the adrenaline is going. you want to get it over with he's prepared himself for this moment and he showed us this morning. fastest time in a textile suit >> don't go far.w. i know >> so fun to have you here we're thrilled >> tell your wife hi for us, too. >> i will. >>> coming up, we go way, way up one of tokyo's newest and most popular attractions, it's called skytree. the world's tallest tower coming up after this. number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. most awarded for network quality, 27 times in a row. proving once again that nobody builds networks like verizon.

this is what al arian is arguing.ou have a consumer who is per sat -- perhaps not willing to spend more. we are seeing higher prices throughout the economy. it might be too late. spending is pulling back. do you buy this argument? lucy: no. i don't really. i think this inflation has been created by a booming demand. we are all being led out of the gates. there's a massive demand for goods such as new cars, etc. the supply of microchips. as we enter into this new world of more technology and digital, microchips are huge part of any economy. global shipping is disrupted hugely. the prices from shipping goods from china to the west coast of america has quadrupled. these things are very slow to readjust and rebound. on the flipside, we have a rebound in prices services. going to bars, restaurants, hairdressers. actually workers are not returning. they are happier having a drink at a bar rather than working behind the bar. dani: you mentioned some of the uptick in prices and commodities, having to do with specific companie

>> thank you, ariane. as you noted there could be a decision by next june.appen either early fall or this winter. meanwhile, though, the cia inspector general is looking into cases of the so-called havana syndrome as the number of the reports of illness continues to rise. hundreds of u.s. diplomats, spies and troops around the globe have been sickened by this, some so severe that they ended up retiring. >> yeah, let's get to cnn reporter katie williams covering the story for us. good morning. what can you tell us about this cia ag investigation? what are they hoping to find. >> reporter: what the inspector general is looking into is how officers who have reported this strange constellation of symptoms and sensory experiences were handled or have been handled by the agency when they come forward. that's looking at things like health care that they received, that's looking at the kind of benefits that they received, and we do note that the inspector general is talking to victims as part of this review. now, it's important to note that this is not a full grown

true, whether it can actually be put into that bill or not depends on whether the senate parliament arian deems that this is related enough to the budget. and the same thing happened with the minimum wage, in a way president biden is essentially saying congress, please do something. but you know, he isn't putting a lot of his personal political capitol into it. >> amy, the poll tucks here. >> the politics are very interesting. and you are right, the administration is in a very tough place. they are not only trying to move beyond donald trump, president trump, administration, their policies and their positions on immigration, which they argue was too harsh. at the same time, they're advocates, especially on the left, are pushing the administration to go farther than barack obama did, right. they want to see a very different kind of democratic administration handling immigration. remember there is a lot of criticism of the obama administration and what they thought were-- was too punitive on immigration. so as tam pointed out, you have this reconciliation bill, you have a lot of pent up dem

back in my days, it was primarily i think they were always -- arian nation or the crips and the bloods where we came from. it was broadly addressed for a very long time. over these last several months, i think it's kind of transformed into something that's much more insidious. that's why i put my foot down on it. mr. wood: there are these two -- these tipping points. something can grow for many years, let's say in an academic setting, and there's enough inertia and it catches people by surprise. you've built an extraordinary network over the years. long past the military service, serving in the house for a term , and then in the senate since 2015. so part of this question has to do with the sense you're getting from colleagues. even a week ago, on this website that you are cosponsoring with representative crenshaw, i think back then it was well over 400 comments that had been posted to that. so you're getting feedback from the military as well. this leads into some of the words games that are played. critical race theory is a specific thing. identity politics is a specific thing. gende

quantum was launched on an ariane rocket, from french guiana, last night.cular, has come to dominate — the business of telecommunications satellites. there are hundreds of these spacecraft overhead — bouncing tv, phone calls, broadband and other data services around the planet. but the new satellite going into orbit, called quantum, represents a big step forward in technology. while traditional telecom spacecraft are configured before launch to do very specific tasks, quantum has been built for flexibility. it is the sector's first fully reprogrammable spacecraft. it is able to rapidly change the coverage, bandwidth, power and frequency of its signals. one of its uses will be for disaster response, providing emergency communications to the teams that are sent to help people in places hit by catastrophic floods or earthquakes. quantum's manufacturers in the uk, that is airbus and surrey satellite technology ltd, will incorporate the prototype's technology into their future spacecraft, hoping to maintain their world—leading status in what has become a highly

there is no watershed anymore, the water just runs off arian out in california, they have this drought. they were not thinking too good. they should have thought about that years ago. there are ways of doing it, now it is getting to a point where it is a most impossible to do it. get a watershed, take care of it. you would not have all of this mess that you had right now. they were putting money into things in the past that should not have been done. not putting it in this. even though, i can't think of -- the hoover dam.

well, on the top story and it's about behind a contagious dealt of arian which has been blamed for rapid rising current virus infections across south east asia. indonesia has been recording both and 35000 cases a day and a new survey, a sound almost half of jakarta population has had coven 19 at some stage, sometimes higher than official figures. not thailand has gone into lockdown for 2 weeks where the night curfew in place in bangkok, a slow vaccine rollout and limited testing is any adding to the challenges and south koreans, capital and surrounding areas have been moved to the strictest level of social distancing, clubs and churches are being closed and private gatherings are limited. rub, mcbride has moved from sol while they're really concerned about one has really alarmed them is the speed with which this 4th wave has really surge. that virtually a we've seen, a doubling of new case has been reported in the last few days. it's been consistently well over a 1000 new cases per day, which is very high for south korea. now. part of it is being blamed on the war transmissible delta var

that's the highest since january the belt of arian to count . so almost all of those new infections and around 1600000 people in england have been told to isolate scientists, doctors from both the u. k and internationally. also warning, the move is reckless and endangered. millions of lives will join me and always john, hello, correspondent, his monitoring event for us in london. so less than 24 hours to get a job. and before all of those, cobit 19 restrictions and left dead. does the public think this is the right decision, despite those infection, numbers rising? while it's freedom there is you said there, that's how it's been done. monday it is in fact 24 hours. but monday, when the at least the bulk of these restrictions will be lifted in law and anecdotally, it does seem that poll suggests that the public are generally quite worried about that. and that's because they can well see that it is highly questionable at this moment how much freedom there is from the virus itself. infection rates, as you say, a climbing rapidly this week, getting

i think that's exactly what arian and i, the codirector, went in thinking.ch that less than 2% of people who actually read reviews write the reviews. these super rue viewers are people who are so prolific in terms of spending time writing reviews, it's something they do every day of their life. they have written hundreds, thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of reviews, and they're very passionate about it. >> it's fascinating, too. i don't want to see somebody who's only done two or three reviews. i just never knew what went into that. it's pretty clear how the reviews help other. advice on what to eat, what to watch, what to read, so on and so on. what's in it for the reviewers? what are they getting out of this? >> right. that's exactly what this film, you know, endeavors to tackle, really looking at why they're motivated to do what they do. i think for each character, we have three different characters of three different ethnicities, difficult ages all over the u.s. they come from this angle in a very different way. i think for one of them, tony, a yel

how much more of the commercial market can spacex acquire, like towards arian space?nd my second question, the nasa administrator has said that china is our main competitor to get to mars or deep space. how much more can the government stay out of the way for a company like spacex, to leave a path for america to get to mars or the moon before china? i will hang up and listen to your response, thank you. john: thanks for the comment on the "after apollo" book, part of a series of books i have written up about the space decisions of john kennedy, richard nixon and ronald reagan. i enjoyed doing that work. china is the country, together with the u.s., that is the units developing capabilities for journeys into deep space. there is currently a . there are capabilities to eventually go to the moon and journey to mars. the u.s. is ahead of that competition with the artemis program. but it depends on whether we maintain that current lead, competitively over time. it takes many leads -- he takes many years and sustained support from the government. that being said, elon musk
