what's up Rockstar it's Tuesday January
14th welcome to CNN 10 the best 10
minutes in news thanks to you I'm Coy
wire thank you for spending part of your
day with us we are starting today in the
Big Apple where New York City leadership
is aiming to keep us from driving that's
right New York City's congestion pricing
is the first of its kind in the US so
what is congestion pricing well it's a
fee charged per car with the goal of
discouraging driving so as of January
5th driving into Manhattan got even
pricier passenger vehicles now pay $9
during peak hours and 225 during off
peak hours overnight to enter Manhattan
below 60th Street each day trucks will
also be charged fees for Peak and off
peak hours for each trip into Manhattan
congestion pricing has been a debated
topic and concept there for decades as
early as the 1950s in 2007 New York
City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed
a form of congestion pricing that was
eventually shot down those in favor of
congestion pricing say it would reduce
traffic in one of the world's densest
and busiest areas while also reducing
pollution and providing a source of
revenue for City projects on the other
hand critics are saying that it will
steer business away from this city and
it's an unnecessary burden on everyday
New Yorkers who commute to the city to
ease that burden the state-run
Metropolitan Transportation Authority or
MTA offers a discount for drivers with
annual household incomes below
$50,000 for many people the plan has not
been popular so far legal challenges to
congestion pricing sprang up even before
the plan went into effect
though it has now largely been settled
by the courts in according to a December
poll over half of New York City voters
disapprove of the congestion pricing
plan many New York and New Jersey
politicians have criticized the measure
as well President elect Donald Trump has
promised to end the fees when he is in
office for now all eyes are on New York
as leadership in other congested cities
like Chicago Boston and Washington DC is
weighing whether they too should
Implement congestion pricing
plans 10 second trivia which of the
following is the largest church in the
world notredam St Peter's Basilica
Westminster Cathedral or Milan Cathedral
H if you said St Peter's Basilica booah
you are correct it's located in Vatican
City and the largest church is also home
to the tallest dome in the world St
Peter's Basilica has been drawing in
droves of visitors ever since the
Jubilee of 2025 kicked off in Rome and
Vatican City the year-long celebration
takes place once every 25 years and
Catholics from all around the world make
the pilgrimage to the holy city so far
more than half a million visitors have
flocked to the Vatican to walk through
the holy doors at St Peter's Basilica
they're opened at the start of the
Jubilee year and closed at the end of
the celebrations until the next Jubilee
25 years later CNN's Antonia Mortenson
brings us to the streets of Rome to hear
from visitors who traveled from across
the globe for the event where are you
guys from Mexico Mexico City wow and why
have you come here so we are so excited
about the door that's open for this year
so it's a good opportunity for us to you
know to cross the door and see that's
all the marvelous things behind the door
and having all these faith and all this
energy that we will feel that once we
are crossing that's awesome this is
really a very special occasion for many
visitors and pilgrims who've come here
from all over the world the door to St
Peters is usually cemented shut and it's
only opened up every 25
years according to the Vatican over half
a million people have already passed the
threshold of the Holy doors since Pope
Francis opened them officially on
Christmas Eve to Kickstart the beginning
of the Catholic Church's Jubilee year
it's very special to come here with my
family and with my daughter so we can
all go through the doors together and I
think this will be like the only time I
will be able to do that the Jubilee is a
holy year for the Catholic Church which
offers its faithful the chance to
receive forgiveness for those who make
the
pilgrimage apart from the holy door at
St Peters visitors have the opportunity
to enter through four other holy doors
that are usually closed as part of their
pilgrimage a very busy start to the
Jubilee year here at the Vatican and
it's gearing up to be even busier with
35 million visitors expected in
Rome now for some more news on Greenland
which we first talked about last week
the Arctic Island has continued to be in
the news quite a bit ever since
president-elect Donald Trump once again
called for the US to buy the Danish
territory even going so far as to say
that he would not rule out the use of
military force to acquire it it's raised
a lot of questions about what plans he
might have for the island after his son
visited Greenland last week with all of
the attention on the island greenlanders
are now speaking up including
Greenland's prime minister who has urged
respect for the Island's growing
Independence Movement CNN's Isabelle
Rosales takes us to the Arctic Island
home to about 57,000 people to hear what
they had to
say Greenland in the spotlight with a
population of more than 57,000 people
and an economy mainly based on fishing
this remote mineral Rich territory is
once again on the top of us
president-elect Donald Trump's wish
list so much so Trump says he would not
Ru out using military or economic action
to acquire it its strategic Northern
location and vast resources make it an
attractive deal but Greenland's prime
minister has said it's not for sale and
some residents say they have no interest
in changing their
status we have been together in a union
for 300 years we don't need to talk
about that
stuff Greenland is a semi-autonomous
part of Denmark that's self-governing
but relies on Denmark for its National
Defense foreign policy and annual
subsidies which cover roughly half of
its public
budget it also has the right to declare
independence from Denmark through a
referendum an independence movement has
gained Traction in Greenland and recent
years and in 2023 Greenland's government
presented its first draft Constitution
it's a desire for change that many
residents and the Prime Minister support
it's just not exactly the change that
Trump has
touted Denmark doesn't matter a lot to
me it's just a small country we can't
use them any longer because there are so
many great powers in the world so our
partner should be a great power because
Greenland is very wealthy and we have
everything Denmark's prime minister says
the future of the Arctic Island lies in
the hands of Greenland's people and
Greenland's leader says he's open to
talking with Trump about future
collaborations with the us whether or
not that will be enough for Trump is
unclear his interest with the territory
seemingly on display when his son Donald
Trump Jr made an unofficial visit there
on Tuesday but we're really excited to
be here but so far Greenland is standing
firm its leader says it won't replace
one controlling power for another we
don't want to be Danes we don't want to
be Americans we want to be greenlandic
and of of course it is the greenlandic
people who decide their
[Applause]
future all right you are going to want
