hello sunshine I'm KY wire ready to
start another week with you covering the
news so we can stay informed on what's
happening in the world in 10 minutes
time right here on CNN 10 we're going to
start today in communities in the
Northeast United States where mosquitoes
aren't just being your typical
summertime nuisance they're causing rare
and sometimes deadly virus to spread now
over the last several weeks more people
have become hospitalized by mosquito
born viruses like West Nile and Eastern
ecoin incilius or tripo one person has
even died from the illness coming from
these infections so when infected
mosquitoes bite humans and pass along
viruses like Triple E the first symptoms
can be things like sudden headaches high
fever chills and vomiting severe cases
though rare can cause seizures and Comas
this year the CDC has identified six
cases of Triple E in five states
Massachusetts Wisconsin New Jersey
Vermont and New Hampshire since the
mosquitoes that spread Triple E are most
active at Dusk and Dawn communities have
begun voluntary curfews to protect
residents recreational and Sport Fields
were closed at these times and
activities were rescheduled or moved
indoors fortunately many types of
mosquito born illnesses don't regularly
occur in the US but scientists think
that may be changing over time because
of the climate change human activity has
led to an increase in mosquito and
tickborne infections over the past
decade the most common mosquito born
infection in the US is West Nile Virus
but we're seeing cases of tripo Deni and
other viruses rise locally while states
in the Northeast and Upper Midwest are
experiencing this the most malaria and D
have also been detected in Texas and
Florida right now there are not widely
available vaccines to prevent these
mosquito born infections so the best
prevention is to not get bitten CNN's Dr
Sanjay Gupta explains and gets into some
viewer questions with some communities
across the country now on high alert
because of these reports of several
mosquito born illnesses like Triple E
and westnile virus we decided to ask all
of you our audience what questions they
had about mosquitoes and many of you had
questions like John in San Francisco who
wrote this I'm a mosquito magnet and a
group of friends I'll get dozens of
bites my friends only one or two a piece
I've used mosquito repellants but they
only help a little bit is there anything
I can do beside stay
indoors well John you know why some of
us are bitten more than others is an
age-old question what we're learning it
probably has a lot to do with your odor
and that doesn't mean necessarily bad
odor but rather a distinctive odor for a
mosquito because of the chemicals they
can sense and candidly there's not much
you can do about that but for everyone
else including you keep in mind that
mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon
dioxide we breathe out we sort of get
this carbon dioxide bubble so when
you're breathing hard for example you're
going to be more likely to attract
mosquitoes having a little fan to blow
the CO2 away that can help there's also
some science that shows mosquitoes
actually like darker colors particularly
Reds and oranges so you may want to
avoid those colors remember that
mosquitoes really don't like the Sun so
they're going to come out at Dusk and
Dawn if you do go out use an insect
spray with the ingredients DEET or
picaridin hope that helps John in
coastal Southern California residents in
an affluent Community are dealing with
devastating landslides that are
threatening their homes 30 Mi south of
Los Angeles Rancho Palos veres has seen
active but slow moving landslides since
the 1950s but they've recently sped up
partly thanks to record amounts of rain
in Southern California over the last two
years now as roads buckle and homes lie
partially swallowed by the ground
scientists warned landslides are set to
become more frequent as the climate
fuels heavier rainfall and more powerful
storms it's as if the Earth is wiping
away what's been built upon it I'm no
geologist but when you see the road
turning into a roller coaster you know
something's wrong here in Rancho palis
veres an affluent Community coveted for
its expansive Pacific Ocean Vistas the
land is sliding
dangerously this is
unprecedented no one knows really in a
way what to do while the land has always
slowly shifted Here Local leaders say
it's accelerated
tremendously unbelievable in the last
four months it's
constant I mean it's just what do you do
I we sitting here on a kga dynamite and
we can't go repair anything because the
ground continues to move so much so some
residents had their natural gas service
discontinued in July with more shut offs
recently added then in the last week
more than 200 homes had their power cut
indefinitely as the shifting ground
threatens utility lines on August 29th
the fire that occurred near narissa
Drive the land movement caused a power
line to fall to the ground and ignite a
small fire that fire was quickly
extinguished officials say but the
incident exposed the threat posed to
basic infrastructure including Water and
Sewer lines we are dealing with
incomprehensible amounts of Earth with
unimaginable movement pulling our
infrastructure in ways that it is not
designed or intended to move or resist
this level of dynamic activity allowing
officials to funnel resources toward the
emergency response Governor Gavin Nome
declared a state of emergency in the
city this week noting the land movement
accelerated significantly following the
20 23 and 24 severe storm events with
the land now sliding at an average of 9
to 12 in per week I think we're all
learning that there is no playbook for
an emergency like this
one 10 second trivia what is believed to
be the most expensive object ever built
Shanghai Tower International Space
Station notra Dame Cliff Cathedral Hong
Kong International
Airport at a total cost of more than 100
billion bucks the ISS holds the record
for most expensive object in
history after what was supposed to be an
8-day trip the Boeing Starliner capsule
is finally home from the International
Space Station nearly 3 months later the
spacecraft experienced Thruster issues
when delivering two NASA astronauts
Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams to the
space station in June it returned to
Earth without them on board now NASA and
Boeing have to start working on the
issues that came up during the test
flight before the space agency can deem
it ready to carry out routine trips to
the
ISS Boeing breathing a SI relief this
morning after Starliner successfully
landed in wh Sands New Mexico shortly
after midnight and all of the issues
that Starliner suffered while in Space
the Thruster failures the helium leaks
did not prove to be a problem when it
did the deorbit burn pumped the brakes
and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere
those were the critical Maneuvers that
NASA was so worried about uh if Butch
and sunny Williams Butch Willmore and
sunny Williams starliners crew had been
on board and so now Boeing and NASA are
going to be looking at all the data NASA
needs to decide if it's going to require
Boeing to conduct another crude flight
test before it's fully certified to
fairy NASA astronauts to and from the
International Space Station as for but
and
they're going to be up there until
February of 2025 before they hit a ride
back on a SpaceX crew Dragon capsule
that's essentially the backup here but
NASA administrator Bill Nelson says
that's what this program is all about
the commercial crew program it's about
having a backup system redundancy if one
spacecraft fails there's another
spacecraft run by a different company
that can bring these astronauts home so
uh this is what the commercial crew
program was designed for I just don't
think anybody thought that this backup
system would be tested quite as early as
it was
[Applause]
needed today's store getting a 10 out of
10 home site 3D printed home this house
was built by a 3D printer in less than a
week the builders had a grand floor plan
to turn a 3-in model into a, 1500 square
ft crib that has three bedrooms and two
bathrooms talk about a model home it
uses a special kind of concrete made for
the printing process which makes the
house tornado and fire resistant now
that is raising the roof of expectations
our shout out today goes to pretty
Prairie High School and pretty prairie
Kansas home of the Bulldogs we see you
fun fact I was today years old when I
learned Kansas is the Sunflower State
great climate for growing and harvesting
them and utilizing the seeds and oils
all right I got a bolt but I'll leave
you with a quote from Mary Shelly the
early 1800's novelist who wrote
Frankenstein the beginning is always
today make it an awesome one y'all and
we'll do it again tomorrow right here on
CNN 10
