what is the situation in savannah, amara? >> reporter: well, erica, you're seeing the supply chain nightmare play out here in savannah. what we're seeing here is a major traffic jam of cargo ships as well as a major backlog of supplies. if you look at the view from our mass cam, you'll see this wall, this mountain of shipping containers stacked as high as you can see. we're talking about 70 to 80,000 of these steel boxes that have been sitting here every day, waiting for somebody to pick them up to get to their final destination. we're told this is a 50% increase. so why are we seeing this huge backlog? well, as you know, as we have been reporting, there is this major shortage of truck drivers around the country, right? and also that's causing retailers to leave their containers here and the georgia port authority has been calling the retailers to remind them, look, your container has been sitting here for 12 days or weeks actually, we're told. hundreds have been sitting here for several weeks. so what we're being told right

just look here behind me, at this mountain of shipping containers here at the port of savannah, piled high, as you can see, at this terminal. we're told about 70 to 80,000 of these steel boxes are stacked up here and they have been here for days. this is a 50% increase in the number of shipping containers that the port of savannah typically sees. why are we seeing such a backlog right here on land? i'm told that much of this has to do with the retailers who are not picking up their goods. of course, this also highlights the fact that there is a shortage of truck drivers that we're seeing play out across the country. but we're told on average these shipping containers will sit at the terminal for about four to five days, while it is not normal days. the average is now about 12 days. and i also spoke with a ship communications director, he tells me there are hundreds of these shipping containers sitting here at this terminal beyond this 12-day average for several weeks now. what they're doing is getting on the phone, calling the retailers and saying, hey, your freight is still here, whe

and one of the universities we revered from afar in savannah georgia during my youth. its stated mission has been unwavering. the pursuit of truth for its own sake. and its inspiration has been devine. jesus christ as the source of wisdom in whom all things can be brought to its completion. i should -- it should come as no surprise, then, that notre dame attracts and produces so many talented scholars and students. i am particularly grateful for the outstanding scholarship and graduates this university has produced. this is further demonstrated by the outstanding students, as i eluded to in professor munoz's class that i've had a chance to interact with. from time to time, justice scalia and i talked about how similar we were. yet so different. we tended to independently arrive at the same conclusion in so many cases. yet, he was from an educated family in the urban northeast while i was from an uneducated family from the deep south. of course, the condescending media elites accuse me of being his flunky, which bothered him much more than it bothered me. i was used to

. >> sandra: the global supply chain crisis continues, reaching georgia's port of savannah. cargo ships are forced to sit vitally offshore while they wait for others to be unloaded. that's a situation we are becoming all too familiar with. store shelves like this in the right-hand side of your screen come from completely empty. jonathan serrie from the port of savannah with more on this. >> people here have never seen anything like this and yet they remain nimble at the port and are adapting and dealing with the situation. you can see the port had savannah is a hotbed of activity while this massive cargo vessels are loading and unloading. and while this is going on the port is actually expediting its plans to expand and deal with the increased demand. take a listen. >> we are seeing the cargo velocity pickup, which is great, 30% improvement. secondly we are bringing on new projects, adding yard capacity, rail capacity, birth capacity. >> port director griff lynch says he expects more operations by december with a queue of ships waiting offshore or reduced from dozen which is

woman: there is a hidden jungle in cities like los angeles, and a hidden savannah and hidden wetlands, and other kinds of ecosystems. pauly: there's no magic line where nature stops and city begins. it's all a giant matrix. and in the most urbanized parts of los angeles, you can still find literally thousands of species of plants and animals. heise: the conventional wisdom used to be that cities are biodiversity wastelands, and we're now beginning to rethink that in two major ways. one is that actually, there's a lot of biodiversity in cities, much more so than we had originally known. the other challenge is to think about how we might make this environment that was built by us in terms of buildings, in terms of the parks that we've planted, in terms of the gardens that some of us take care of on a daily basis. how could we make this habitat more hospitable to non-han species?
