  • I'm Carl Jesus.

  • Our 2019 winter spring season winds down this week Fridays Air last day, and an explanation of why we were off yesterday is three minutes.

  • First, though, we're reporting on an upcoming leadership change in the United Kingdom.

  • On Friday, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced she would resign as her nation's leader, the main reason what the prime minister described as a deep regret that she was unable to deliver the Brexit an international agreement on how Britain would leave the European Union.

  • The deal that Prime Minister May had with the you needed to be approved by Britain's parliament to take effect, and it never waas.

  • She said that though it was right for her to keep trying, even when the odds against success seemed hi, it's now clear to her that a new prime minister would be in Britain's best interest.

  • There are several members of her political party, Britain's Conservative Party, who are hoping to replace Maia's prime minister.

  • Lawmakers say they plan to choose a new leader by July 20th and May will serve until then, but whoever gets the job will still have the challenge of forging a Brexit plan that both Britain's Parliament and the European Union agreed to.

  • If one isn't reached what's called a no deal, Brexit could happen when Britain suddenly breaks off from the union of 27 other countries, leaving a lot of questions in the air about economics, immigration, trade deals.

  • Basically, how Britain conducts business and politics with the rest of Europe and the rest of the world.

  • They decided that we should leave.

  • The European Union may put her proposed Brexit dealing to a vote on three occasions.

  • It was rejected by the House every time reflecting a political system in stalemate and a nation divided.

  • I have done everything I can to Vince MPs to back that deal.

  • Sadly, I have not been able to do so.

  • Britain's leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, tweeted his approval, saying she was right to resign, but she was offering Yes, we want to prevent a no deal Brexit on.

  • We will do everything in parliament to prevent a no deal Brexit.

  • But the reality is a new conservative leader isn't going to solve the problem.

  • May's announcement ignites a frantic race to succeed her.

  • Boris Johnson, the former foreign secretary whose personality politics have being compared to Donald Trump, command significant support among grassroots members of the party to replace May.

  • Boris Johnson, I think, would be a great prime minister.

  • Johnson bitterly opposed the withdrawal deal that May negotiated with E.

  • U On resigned from her Cabinet over it On Friday, he described May statement as dignified and said it is now time to follow her urgings to come together and deliver Brexit.

  • Chief, you negotiated Michele Barnier expressed full respect for his departing counterpart, noting the determination with which she persevered and outgoing European Commission President John Cord Junker said through a spokesperson.

  • Mays speech left him without personal joy maze failure to unite her party or garner enough cross party support behind her deal proved her undoing.

  • 10 seconds Trivia.

  • The world's highest peak, Mount Everest, is named for whom?

  • A British surveyor, a New Zealand mountaineer, an American explorer or an Australian geographer.

  • Sir George Everest or Everest was a British surveyor who helped map India.

  • But Mount Everest is named for him.

  • It was New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary and DePaul's Tenzing Norgay, who became the first climbers recognized for reaching Everest summit.

  • Since they did that in 1953 several 1000 other climbers have reached the mountaintop.

  • Several 100 people have died on the mountain.

  • That includes 11 mountaineers who died in this year's climbing season, making it one of the deadliest seasons on Everest.

  • May is considered the best time to climb the mountain because the weather is usually a little better and the winds are as extreme as in other months.

  • But a mountain guide told CNN that this year's weather hasn't been great and that it's left a limited window of days that are good for climbing.

  • Combined that with overcrowding on the mountain, a number of inexperienced climbers and some expedition companies that may not be prioritizing safety and you have the reasons why climbers say it's been particularly dangerous.

  • In 2019 the Nepalese government issued a record number of permits this year to Everest climbers.

  • Nepal is a poor country that benefits from tourism, but its government blames the company's offering guided treks to the summit for the deaths.

  • Whoever's responsible, the pictures of crowds in places where the human body simply can't survive for long clearly show part of the problem.

  • It's really quite striking.

  • Get these images that climbers were posted on social media that won't trail of people during the final push to try to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

  • And those photographs are from an area that's known as the death zone.

  • And it's called the Death zone because of the levels of oxygen there at the incredibly low levels of oxygen, just 1/3 off what you would find at sea level.

  • And this year we're talking about at least nine deaths happening during this climbing season, which is really only a few weeks long.

  • On average, there are about 5 to 6.

  • But a lot of climbers have been saying that this treacherous attempt is made even riskier because of the weight about 2 to 3 hours, one British climber seems to have been well aware of the risks, Robin Hayes Fish inner, who died on his way down from the summit, had posted to Instagram saying with a single route to the summit, delays caused by overcrowding could prove to be fatal.

  • He had decided toe wait to see if he could hit a time when there would be fewer climbers.

  • Other experts that we have been talking to are saying that the Nepalese government needs to do more.

  • They say that it's baseless that he's just were caused by the backlog.

  • They say that they are trying to regulate who gets to go by ensuring that people were issued permits have a certain level of experience.

  • But then all of this is also being compounded.

  • The risk is being compounded, not despite the number of permits in the backlog, but also by what many air saying is the lack of experience level among some of the climbers.

  • And then all of these companies were really trying to push forward to get their climbers to reach the summit, that it is resulting in some cases in ah lack of due diligence when it comes to care for the clientele and how commercial all of this has become and one expert mountaineer who we were talking to was saying that unless something changes every year, he's expecting is going to be even deadlier.

  • Arwa, Damon, CNN Katmandu Tha underwater One of the places where you wouldn't want an uber driver to take you.

  • Unless, of course, you ordered up a rod on the scooper.

  • This costs more than a ride to work.

  • It's over $2000 but for that money you get a car and helicopter ride to a mini submarine, and then you get a one hour underwater tour of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

  • It's part of a partnership between uber and an Australian state to promote.

  • So if you're in Australia and the price doesn't sink your budget, you may want to scoop her up the opportunity to tour the great Barry Uber Reef.

  • It's a drive and a dive, a plunk for a plunge, a trip in a dip.

  • And as long as you're not nervous below the service, it could be the ride of your life that uber memorable.

Welcome back to CNN.
