TOKYO (AP) — Japan's Olympic minister says the contract to hold the Tokyo Games only specifies the event has to be held during 2020. Seiko Hashimoto's response to a question in the upper house of parliament implies the Olympics could be held later in the year and would not have to start on July 24. Hashimoto told parliament on Tuesday that “the IOC has the right to cancel the games only if they are not held during 2020.”“This can be interpreted to mean the games can be postponed as long as they are held during the calendar year,” said HashimotoHashimoto's comments come amid growing concern that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) could be forced to cancel the games due to the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, the upper-respiratory disease caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus. More than 3,100 have died from the disease worldwide, with a majority in mainland China. At least deaths have been reported in Japan, according to a tally by 959

The smoke is so thick, at times the Cessna airplane had to climb to stay out of it. At times your eyes burn and you close the air vents to keep the cabin habitable. Sometimes it is so bad, it is hard to see how bad it actually is on the ground below.Flying above the Amazon's worst afflicted state (during last week), Rondonia, is exhausting mostly because of the endless scale of the devastation. At first, smoke disguised the constant stream of torched fields, and copses; of winding roads that weaved into nothing but ash. Below, the orange specks of a tiny fire might still rage, but much of the land appeared a mausoleum of the forest that once graced it."This is not just a forest that is burning," said Rosana Villar of Greenpeace, who helped CNN arrange its flight over the damaged and burning areas. "This is almost a cemetery. Because all you can see is death."The stark reality of the destruction is otherworldly: like a vision conjured by an alarmist to warn of what may come if the world doesn't address its climate crisis now. Yet it is real, and here, and now, and below us as we are scorched by the sun above and smoldering land below.Rondonia has 6,436 fires burning so far this year in it, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). NASA says the state has become one of the most deforested states in the Amazon. Brazil has 85% more fires burning than this time last year -- up to 80,626 nationwide as of Sunday night.President Jair Bolsonaro, after being scolded, called a liar, and threatened with trade sanctions by some leaders of the G7, declared on Friday he would send 43,000 troops to combat the Amazon's inferno. (He had previously fired the director of INPE for releasing figures he didn't agree with, and in his Friday speech still said the Amazon should be used to enrich Brazil's people).Yet while the Amazonian city of Porto Velho reels from a cloud of smoke that blights its mornings, and from the occasional C130 cargo plane buzzing overhead, the forest around it that we flew over showed no sign of an increased military presence Sunday.The task is enormous, almost insurmountable. In the areas where the smoke is most intense, the sun barely creeps through to shine off the river. I saw one bird in this natural sanctuary in three hours. Flames seem to move in a steadfast line across the savannah, swallowing whole what forest remains in their path.There are the occasional buildings, isolated in the newly created farmland around them. But no signs of human life, just cattle, caught in the swirling clouds and flame. They are often the reason for the fires: the rush to deforest sparked by a growing global market for beef. Cattle need soy grown on the fields, or to graze on the grass, and then become the beef Brazil sells to China, now a trade war with the United States has changed the market.The reason for the fires is disputed, but not that convincingly from this height. Bolsonaro has said that they are part of the usual annual burn, in this, the dry season. But his critics, many of them scientists, have noted the government's policy of encouraging deforestation has boosted both the land clearance that helps fires rage, and given the less scrupulous farmer license to burn.As the rate of land clearance reaches one and a half football fields a minute -- the statistics for the damage done to the forest emulate the incomprehensible mystery of its vanishing beauty -- many analysts fear a tipping point is nearing.The more forest is cleared, the less moisture is held beneath its canopy, and the drier the land gets. The drier the land gets, the more susceptible it is to fire. The more fire, the less forest. A self-fulfilling cycle has already begun. The question is when it becomes irreversible.Brazil is already dealing with the likelihood of permanent changes to its ecology. "The Amazon is extremely fundamental for the water system all over the continent," said Villar from Greenpeace. "So if we cut off the forest we are some years not going to have rain on the south of the country."It is hard to see any claims of future doom as alarmist, when you see skylines rendered invisible by smoke, flames march across the plains like lava, and hear disinterested taxi drivers tell you they have never seen it so bad. The apocalyptic future is here, and it is impatient. 4359

The sun still hasn’t come up in Sacramento, California, as Paul Harrison makes his safety checks for the school bus he drives.The Twin Rivers school district bus yard is busy just before 6 a.m. All the drivers are getting ready to pick up the kids.But Harrison is driving a slightly different model than some of his co-workers.“I believe it’s been about three years we’ve been driving these electric buses," he said. "There’s no gas, there’s no emissions."His is one of 30 electric school buses owned by the district, about half their fleet. His boss, Tim Shannon, hopes one day the district's entire fleet will be electric.“As the range gets better on electric school buses have a 100 percent electric fleet within the next three and a half to four years," said Shannon.While the overall goal is to help reduce the districts carbon footprint, Harrison says he notices differences while he drives.“When you’re driving this bus, there’s no diesel, there’s no fuel to work with, there’s no natural pumps that you have to hook up,” said Harrison.And so do the students he drives to school every day.“The electric buses, they don’t have that smell and you can actually kind of breathe,” said Carrissa Stevens, an 8th-grader at Symthe Middle School. She likes the fact that buses don’t smell like diesel and she likes that she’s doing her part to help the environment.“If we didn’t take care of the environment, I don’t think any of us would be here. But I also care about the animals and the plants and all that because it’s important,” said Stevens. And she may not know it, but she’s also helping her parents and other tax payers save some money.“I would tell you the current savings with the buses we have is close to 0,000 a year,” said Shannon.And he only expects the savings to increase over time and as they get more buses. While there is a heavy start up cost associated with buying electric buses and installing chargers, they’re much cheaper to maintain than their diesel counterparts.“You’re getting almost triple the tire life out of a tire. You’re getting over double the break life out of the breaks because of regenerative breaking," explained Shannon. "The average mile it costs us to drive an electric bus is between <云转化_句子>.15 and <云转化_句子>.19. With the diesel buses between <云转化_句子>.82 and <云转化_句子>.86."And while savings are great the most important thing is getting the kids to and from school safe.“There’s nothing that motivates me to come to work regardless of how I’m feeling. You know that these 40, 50 kids are here waiting and depending on you because you’re there everyday at the same time," said Harrison. "They know you by name. They look forward to seeing you; you look forward to seeing them. And that says a lot." 2733
