so i came out here on the day of the blast and saw smoke coming out of the port. i thought there was a fire. how do you separate the car? how they are not sure how to fit on. then i came back into the room, is always going inside. the blush happened now a stone to decide what the huge rock slammed into the ceiling here and broke its way down to the 1st floor that i went through the pi flores had my family. i've been here, they would have been casualties. and yes, i was injured right here. what are my eyes? my arm by the my entire body is enough gettable day. august 4th is so i'm forgetting. i'm an honor. we're now suffering financially. you know, what's become of the economy. everything is way more expensive. there are no jobs are used to work during the day, but now i'm going to show the stock certainly. so i don't have an income about thought and then shall likewise help for a better future, but i, i can see it being better than before. every once in a while, something huge shakes the core of this country. we don't have a promising future. and you can see a spec

the material had been confiscated 6 years earlier and kept at the port ever since. the customer service gave several warnings about the potential danger, but nothing was done. almost 200 people died in the massive explosion and another 6000 were injured yesterday and i did it to me to the end of the year. but there's someone that i have done is out of the $53.00, and we're going to have it in the near term with the locations for the selection. but in the notion of them in elaine, i'm with you in the thought this sculpture one stood in bay roots port, but recent events forced the artist to find a new hiding place for it. that's what's the issue of me for that because you know, i was he weighed at the time that she me, this was 1000000 before the port explosion. she hosted and lebanese tv show, young and ambitious. she had great plans for her future may come and look upon and know from the booklet who sent it with a few in san brian 20th marbella, she should enter our civil cra when a 2000 and what did you want? how do you know? i don't want i don't know she, you know

, the busiest port in the country when the canal is finished for at least another decade. and by 1900 the population growth is. so explosive that it becomes the fastest at the turn of the century and even more importantly the illinois central railroad which was really built to supplement what was going up and down the canal becomes the longest railroad in the world by 1850 and eventually goes from the northwest tip of illinois to it in new orleans, but not until it becomes a major transit route for a troop of material during the civil war. thesewo are two very immense developments in the history of the country, the midwest and eastern markets tost western markets to southern port of. in a very growing sense. so what happens when the civil war comes along? well, we know what lincoln does, we know about the house divided speech, we s know about lincoln and douglas debate, but going over some of the material i found something very interesting that he said in the first debate with stephen douglas and douglas had controlled the illinois and democratic party and at that time the

but i know it's happened in the port. we all know they knew everything about it, and they are the one to, you know, bring this explosive vis 6. those is the ammonium nitrate. they kept there for years. they were using they were somehow trafficking nitrate somewhere. we don't know to syria. we don't know where exactly what we know is that they have control over. ringback the for the baby. so how could they, again weigh, was this crime? they cannot and that's why they are holding onto the immunities. they are trying to do everything possible to stop the investigation. and they are talking politically right now, the judge to be taught who is our hero and hope they are attacking him every day, trying to find the leverage over him, trying to say that his investigation is a political one. and they said the same about the other judge, 5 you so want, who was going the same direction. and they had to stop him from investigating using a very stupid argument saying that his glotts and his house was broken during the explosion. so th

as i mentioned, no major damage to major ports' abilities. again, we're fortunate the majority of all of our facilities are behind federal -- [inaudible] lauren: okay. can you just describe or categorize the impact this could have on consumers who are already facing high prices for meat, plastic items, you name it when we're at the store? >> certainly. you know, as we've kind of talked about over the last six month, you have a lot of tight markets with the supply chain, a lot of imports particularly on the container side of the business coming into the country. and anytime we see a natural disaster, that has an impact on the supply chain. with the port of new orleans, we're a major exporter of petrochemicals, plastic resins. those are used in packaging as well as frozen poultry that comes out of louisiana farms. depending on how long it takes for us to restore power, that could be days, it could be a week or so, typically what will happen on the container side of our business is that you'll see those containers get with rolled or pushed over

it directs $1.2 billion toward more effective and modern port in port security, including a $655 million investment towards modernizing our land ports of entry. another $47 million to integrate customs and border protection, detection capabilities and robust investment in border surveillance technology. there is no request for additional border wall construction. our team at customs and border protection employs a wide array of proven tactics and cutting edge technology to defend the american people against dangerous threats to our borders. to support this challenging task the president's budget includes $37 million to integrate aerial border security technologies that will provide a common operating picture for law enforcement. this will enable our board of legal agents regardless of their location to act based on consistent, shared information. this is absolutely essential to protecting our homeland in the 21st century, and it is just a snapshot of the incredible work being done on the front lines as part of our layered approach to border security. i i urge you respectfully to support

now with this third container port in the world, minors are redirecting cargo. obviously this has the potential of being the biggest disruption so far during this whole covid pandemic. manus: naturally, we gravitate toward looking at charts. the index, 3566 is where we are. a long way until you get to the zenith of the early 2000 in terms of freight costs. some perspective around me, the speed at which freight costs are rising and how much further you think the squeeze has to go, or how quickly can the supply of new freight space be delivered, if at all? peter: obviously with it being so much more than a container port, it also impacts commodities, as you refer to hear, rising to a year high. that is part of the success story, owners of shipping companies this year, the fiscal stimulus providing a lot of goods being transported into china. the less efficient things work, the better for freight rates. this is likely to push up freight rates for dry commodities as well as oil tankers. that is the most damaged sector in terms of freight rates, which find themselves

nations, people in port nations. how's that guy? one of the things that we've been doing quite a bit in recent months is really to lay out the scale of the problem without understanding the problem, how it's impacting various countries. it's difficult to find a solution. so we've laid out what the scale of the problem is, why it's important to vaccinate people, making the economic case, the social case, the moral case. and then also, you know, the country specific level. we've developed a dashboard where we are showing the kind of what each country needs to do to these objectives that reset off 40 percent by the end of the year and 60 percent by the middle of next year. we're doing this, of course, in conjunction with the partners that are really much more important voices when they say out w, h o, the world bank, the retail and you know, we're collaborating greatly. and financing, of course, is a very important part of how we can get to these objectives in recent years. it has been some real progress, hasn't there,
