most of the transportation agency was devastated because of covid-19. people are afraid to fly and concerned about flying next to people and even with masques, it's somewhat concerning. some of it is far from perfect and how it is delivered. when issue i have worked on is the disproportionate share of cares act grants awarded to certain smaller, less trafficked airports at the expense of our major commercial hub airports who do most of the work, including memphis, the world's largest cargo airport in the world. these award amounts were based on an award by the senate that produce mastiff -- massive windfalls for smaller ports. as many as 31 airports received grants for four years worth of operating expenses. over and above so they would have four years without any money they would otherwise would have received. the wrongheaded formula was changed. they did not receive additional funding from additional, the two subsequent release -- release bills based on the endemic. nevertheless, the amounts awarded were far more than needed warfare. can you tell me w

the spanish treaty prohibiting the slave trade from africa declared that any africans transported afteranish territory, including cuba. since the testimony of several witnesses proved that the mandy had arrived recently in cuba, jets and declared that they were not a lawfully held property and could not be delivered to spanish officials. instead, jets and granted a u.s. attorney's alternate request, that the mandy be delivered to the president for print transport to their native land. the mendi were elated at the possibility of returning home, but disappointed that jets and had not declared them free individuals. judge jets in the next turn to the question of antonio, this label had been cabin boy for the amistad's main captain. the abolitionist wanted the court to affirm natural rights and establish a precedent for challenging slavery in the united states. but their hopes collapsed one jets and ruled that because antonio was born in spanish territory as a slave, he was the legal property of the captain and must be delivered to the spanish government along with other spanish property. a

transported can go from a diamonds to sense basically. so any good type in between, so we can say that as far as containers are concerned, it can affect any commodity type, any type of product of we are consuming. in 1st place, we will be talking about moving consumer goods. but basically in the end, it could be anything which is impact at all. and it's already been ravaged by coven 19. i mean, how much more can the supply chain change handle if anything? well, a good thing about logistics is that in the end it's very resilient. it always goes back to well, in some way or another. but of course, not always in the most efficient way. very often, these are at home decisions last minute decisions which have to be made down of course are very expensive. but one thing is that when all the crisis that the logistics has been gone through in the past years, and in the above, that gets actually, they've learned a lot. they learn to circumvent the big problems. but still there's a way to go if we want to get to sing for mobility. if we want to be a

but road transport remains the politically favored method of industrial, transportation, and logistics. can be decent. we know all about the diesel subsidies that benefit the whole sector. what almost no one knows is that every newly constructed industrial site in germany automatically gets a free road connection. but if a company wants a rail connection, it has to pay for the privilege. and that's a huge disadvantage for rails and you go seen good kids. that's one reason germany's national rail operated dodge bone is calling for all industrial parks to get a rail link. and it now is a pickup service to close the gap between companies and rail. it can hurt her eyes, they be cargo today. i can come to you as db cargo either with an electric truck or a transport leading. i can pick up the wagon ousley, you got, and i can take it to the nearest rail yard and put it onto the rails there. the concept is catching on and solver is knows it. other large and midsize companies are now also using its railhead. opening up an entirely new revenue stream, the company is convinced its investment will

the chief causes include problems of transportation and refrigeration. to pass from harvest, the kitchen table is a race against time. a california based company appeal sciences might be able to help founder james rogers and his team have developed a liquid that could extend the shelf like fruits and vegetables. appeal is a little exactly like it sounds peel and we apply to the surface of fresh produce. you can't see it, you can't taste it. but it slows down the factors because the fruit to age help, even without refrigeration appeal as a liquid coating that dries into a kind of edible skin. the coding helps the produce last up to 4 times as long that buys time, time to transport, the produce to storage, and to eat it before it spoils. appeal is based on liquids and other natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. they're extracted and blended into a taylor made solution by combining them in the rate ratios when they dry a dry into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause fruit to age, which are basically water going out and

if the court decided that the mendy had been illegally enslaved and transported to the united states,the government wanted them delivered to the president for return to their native country under provisions of an anti-slave trade act. in an admiralty proceeding with no jury determination of the district court case rested solely with judge andrew jettison. the abolitionists feared he would not be sympathetic to appeals from africans. jettison was appointed by president jackson in 1836, prior to that he was well-known for his efforts to shut down a connecticut school established by abolitionists for the education of african-american girls. nor were the mendeeses lawyers encouraged by the activities of the van buren administration. the president ordered the positioning of a navy ship off the coast of new haven so that the captives could be removed immediately if the judge ordered their return to cuba. in new haven when judson convened the district court session he faced one of the largest crowds ever assembled to view a federal court proceeding. most of the spectaors supported the abolit

well, a glimpse into the future now — and the transport secretary has hailed his new decarbonisationying people will be able to continue doing the same things, but do them differently. the government has pledged the entire economy will be virtually zero—carbon by the middle of the century, and ministers are relying on new technology to play a significant role in achieving that. grant shapps was upbeat. what's exciting about the plan is that, for the first time, we have the opportunity to decarbonise transport without curtailing our freedoms. it won't stop us from driving, commuting to work or going on holiday — we'll be using zero emission cars, motorcycles, and trucks, we'll be travelling in zero—emission trains, ferries, buses, coaches, we'll be cycling and walking more, and we'll be flying in more efficient aircraft using sustainable aviation fuels. and that's why the pace of change will be unparalleled, and why this new decarbonisation plan is a landmark in the evolution of the way that we do transport in this country. we're the first country in the world to do this, taking a fir
