  • at the midway point of the week and the month of October.

  • We thank you for taking 10 minutes for CNN.

  • 10 Carl resumes.

  • Today's first report comes from Japan, where it could be weeks before some victims of Typhoon Hagibis get back to a normal routine.

  • Last Saturday, Hagibis made landfall on the Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo.

  • It wasn't the most powerful storm to hit the Japanese mainland.

  • Hagibis was about the equivalent of a Category one hurricane, but it costs so much flooding and destruction that Japan's government was planning to label Hagibis a severe natural disaster.

  • What that would do is make the communities that were hit eligible for government funding for reconstruction.

  • Nearly 10,000 houses were flooded across Japan.

  • At one point, more than half a 1,000,000 homes had lost electricity.

  • That number was down to 34,000 on Tuesday, and at least 72 deaths have been blamed on the storm, making Hagibis the deadliest typhoon to hit Japan in years.

  • The country's government says 110,000 people have been deployed for the rescue effort, including firefighters, police and members of Japan's Self Defense Force.

  • Rescue efforts continue in flooded areas, and the government estimates that 5500 people are staying in shelters.

  • Typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones air pretty much the same kind of massive storm.

  • They just have different names in different parts of the world.

  • This time of year is the tail end of typhoon season in the Western Pacific Ocean.

  • Technology has made tracking these storms much easier the power and fury of a super typhoon.

  • In September 2018 Supertyphoon Man Coop slammed into the city of Hong Kong with wind gusts of up to 223 kilometers, or 138 miles per hour.

  • The damage was staggering, but fortunately this coastal city suffered no fatalities.

  • Powerful tropical storms are effective life here.

  • You get a sense of the power of a storm like this coming through here.

  • A city of some seven million people, this radar station is Hong Kong's first line of defense against extreme weather.

  • Perched on the city's tallest mountain, it sweeps the skies, detecting precipitation up to 500 kilometers away.

  • This is what the radar station looks like on the inside, and normally if I wasn't here, this giant antenna dish would be spinning quickly completing a 360 degree rotation in under 40 seconds.

  • And the echo in this sphere is awesome.

  • Every day, meteorologists from the Hong Kong Observatory send up weather balloons, and when storms approach, they fly planes over typhoons, parachuting tubes full of weather sensors into the storm systems.

  • The technology has come a long way since Hong Kong's former colonial rulers first established the observatory more than a century ago.

  • The observatory was 18 53.

  • Sandy Song is a senior scientist here.

  • She shows me satellite footage from last year of Super Typhoon Macoute.

  • You were actually nervous?

  • Yeah, yeah, because that intensity is very strong.

  • It's a super typhoon.

  • Second trivia.

  • After football, which of these high school sports has the highest rate of concussions?

  • Cheerleading boys, Ice hockey, girl's soccer or lacrosse?

  • A number of studies have found that Girl's soccer has the second highest concussion rate in high school sports, and there's a new study that has some good news and bad news when it comes to concussions in US high school sports.

  • First, the bad news.

  • Concussion rates and football games have gone up.

  • Researchers looked at something called athlete exposures, meaning practices or competitions, and they compared data from the 2017 2018 school year with data from four years before that.

  • What they found was that in the more recent games, there were about 39 concussions for every 10,000 athlete exposures.

  • Four years before that, the number of concussions have been 33.

  • The good news is concussion rates had decreased during football practices, and in the four year period they decreased in high school sports.

  • Overall, the study was limited.

  • It on Lee included info from high schools with athletic trainers, and most of that info came from athletes who said they had concussion symptoms.

  • So it's possible the data could have been underreported if athletes had symptoms but didn't say anything.

  • Repeated shots to the head have been linked to memory loss, dementia or other health issues, so researchers school officials in athletes are taking them more seriously.

  • Concussion is a traumatic brain injury, and it happens either if force is applied directly to the brain or transmitted up from the body, such as in a whiplash on.

  • What we believe happens is that the nerve cells in the brain, as a result of its force being applied stretched, and there's then a release of chemicals that changes the way that the brain works on may affect thinking, consciousness.

  • Remembering mood, sleep A very wide range of possible presentations, depending on which nerve cells in the brain have been affected.

  • The day of the space cation, when people who don't work for NASA could regularly travel in the space is getting closer every minute.

  • But it's likely to come at a cost that very few people can afford.

  • The cheapest plan by Virgin Galactic is to offer a 90 minute flight into the upper atmosphere for $200,000 at least.

  • But for the billionaire's financing would could become the future of space exploration.

  • Space cations are only part of it.

  • Bezos, Branson, Musk, the three billionaires racing towards space.

  • With NASA focusing more on its moon and Mars missions, the opportunities for the three companies have never been better.

  • So what exactly are their ambitions?

  • Simply, it seems to be get humans to space for tourism exploration and perhaps even colonization.

  • Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic seems to be the most tourism focused.

  • I got frustrated the fact that I couldn't go up with a nasty spaceship or Russian spaceship, so decided to build a space line.

  • Andi obviously view heavier and space line.

  • You certainly want to make use of it, and I will have always wanted to be an astronaut on.

  • I've always wanted to, you know, look back at our beautiful Earth and marvel at it.

  • The company had a successful test in February, sending its crude spaceship to 88 kilometers above Earth, the company's second time to space.

  • Jeff Bezos is blue Origin also has tourism goals but has recently announced he's setting his sights on the moon.

  • It's time to go back to the moon, this time to stay.

  • The price of admission to do interesting things in space right now is just too high because there's no infrastructure.

  • The company has introduced a new lunar lander concept and already began testing the engine the lander would use.

  • However, it's Elon Musk space sex that's been getting the most lift off action.

  • It's been handling cargo missions to the International Space Station since 2012 and it's Falcon nine and Falcon Heavy rockets have proven they have the muscle for space travel.

  • I think it's gonna give the government options, so it's good to have options for advancement of human space flight.

  • And, um yeah, the competition's a good thing, but its basics is crude dragon that has gained recent attention.

  • It could be the first American spacecraft to carry NASA astronauts to space since 2011.

  • While it had a successful mission in March, April brought major setbacks when the company confirmed the craft was destroyed during another test.

  • Still wear, it stands.

  • All three companies have yet to send people into orbit, but it's looking more promising every day.

  • I think the exciting thing for the world now is that you have Jeff.

  • You have the law on.

  • You have ourselves creating different approaches to take people into space, to colonize places like the moon in future years.

  • So on an incredible new era of space exploration has arrived.

  • Rachel Crane, CNN, New York Ships have been squeezing through Greece's Court Canal since 18 93.

  • It's rocky walls are about 82 feet apart.

  • This cruise ship is about 74 feet wide.

  • That means it had just four feet on each side, despair as it recently squeaked through the canal and reportedly set a new world record.

  • The boat is about 642 feet long.

  • It's not huge for a cruise ship, but it is for this canal, and it recently made the passage with 929 passengers on board.

  • Of course, if it had gotten stuck, all ships have bridges.

  • And if that didn't vote well and the passengers became starboard of waiting, they wanted to gal Eve and there was no gangway to depart from the sides.

  • There'd be no need to be stern.

  • You could just muster your courage and start rock climbing that will keep your eye tinder Mary up.

  • Carla Zeus for CNN 10.
