What's up, sunshine? Happy Friday. Yay.
The day of the week that smiles are
wider and some of us already have one
foot out the door. I'm Ky Wire. This is
CNN 10 big show today. So, let's roll.
The cruise ship at the center of a
deadly antivirus outbreak that as of
this taping took the lives of three
people has left quarantine and is now on
the move. The ship named MV Hondius left
Cape Verde and is headed to Spain's
Canary Islands after the remaining ill
passengers on board were medically
evacuated. Now health officials are
trying to find anyone else who may have
had contact with any of the eight
suspected cases. That's because this
particular strain of the rodent born
illness called the Andy strain has shown
human-touan transmission before. One of
the people who died from the illness was
a woman who had taken a flight to
Johannesburg, South Africa with 88 other
people on board. Officials are urgently
contact tracing for another patient who
is currently in the hospital in
Switzerland. They say it's possible the
outbreak originated during one of the
ship's many stops. Three other
passengers from the ship have already
returned home to the US. None of them
are currently showing any symptoms, but
the Andy strain has a long incubation
period, meaning it can take up to 8
weeks for someone who is exposed to the
virus to show symptoms. As of this
taping, nearly 150 people were still on
the cruise ship, and their trip up
Africa's west coast is expected to take
about three and a half days. The World
Health Organization is stressing that
the outbreak does not pose a wider
public health risk at this time.
>> This is not SARS KV2. This is not the
start of a COVID pandemic. This is an
outbreak that we see on a ship. There's
a confined area. We have five confirmed
cases so far. We completely understand
why these questions are coming, but this
is not the same situation we were in 6
years ago. Um it doesn't spread the same
way um like corona viruses do. It's very
different.
>> As the US and Israel's war with Iran
continues, so does its impact on the
global oil supply chain. Here in the US,
gas prices jumped up to an average of
$4.54 per gallon this week. That's the
highest national average price for gas
since July of 2022. The pain at the pump
is being felt by everyone from commuters
to New York's cabies who say the
skyrocketing prices and lack of tourism
are decimating their business.
>> Really, it sucks. Gas going up every
single day now
>> from $360
now it's $445
>> and the same price so it's affect of
everyone not only me
>> meanwhile France's transport minister
says the country's government is
preparing to provide financial aid to
airlines hit hard by rising jet fuel
costs. European authorities are looking
for ways to avoid widespread aviation
disruptions this summer after some
airlines warned there could be jet fuel
shortages within weeks. About 75% of
Europe's jet fuel is normally imported
from the Middle East. One of the biggest
airlines in the world is saying BYOS,
bring your own snacks. No free snacks
for some of their shorter flights.
Starting May 19th, Delta Airlines will
no longer offer free in-flight snacks or
beverages like water, soft drinks, or
coffee for non-first passengers on
shorter flights. The change affects
about 9% of their flights. those that
are 349 miles or less and have a flight
time under one hour. We're talking
flights like those between Baltimore and
Boston or LA and Phoenix or Minneapolis
and Chicago. Delta says the move is
expected to create a more consistent
experience across its network. Other
major US carriers have already stopped
offering in-flight service on shorter
flights.
Pop quiz hot shot. Which is the second
most spoken language in New York City
after English? Mandarin Chinese, Arabic,
Spanish, or Korean.
If you said Mandarin Chinese, mihow.
According to the latest US census, there
are more than 700 languages spoken in
New York City. The Burough of Queens
often considered to be the most diverse
with hundreds of ethnic restaurants. A
hubby and wife are on a mission to eat
cuisine from every country in the world.
All 195 of them, all without setting
foot outside of New York City. They're
making a lot of progress. Food that
represents 163 nations so far and
sharing it online for others to
experience. Our Lee Waldman got to share
a meal with them.
>> Tucked in the corners of the Big Apple's
bustling burrows, you can be transported
around the world without ever stamping
your passport. Bukaran food in Rio Park,
trying Gy food uh in Richmond,
Richmond Hills.
>> Countries from all over the world coming
together in the melting pot that is New
York City.
>> Everyone knows New York is, you know,
one of the most diverse cities on the
planet. But, you know, how far can you
sort of push that?
>> That's the question that set Andy Doro
off on a now 10-year journey. Ate with
his wife, Jennifer Baronoff.
>> This is the fatous salad. That is
>> delicious.
>> Papuli salad.
>> Eating food from every country in the
world without ever leaving NYC.
>> I've eaten at um restaurants
representing 163 unique countries
>> and documenting each one online. We sat
down with him at Tripoli, a restaurant
in Brooklyn that's been run by the same
family since they opened in 1973.
Its name reflects the city in Lebanon
where they're from.
>> I consider it as a service for the
community around us.
>> Food, as Doro describes it, becomes sort
of a consulate, inviting people into a
culture. That's what Tripoli owner
Muhammad Salem strives to do, especially
for those experiencing his Lebanese
heritage for the first time.
>> We will try to to treat them like like
one of ours. And if we have a new things
like they don't taste before, we'll give
them a taste of it.
>> We experienced that firsthand.
>> Can you pass me the the carob spread?
>> Thank you.
>> Doro invited us to Tripoli to learn
about the culture of a country now
finding itself in conflict.
>> I thought of Lebanese restaurants
because of what's happening um in terms
of the war and the conflict in the
Middle East right now. So um I think
it's important to
I don't know humanize people. We are
really like you know peace loving people
concentrating about
making things happen like you know to
the good good other people. We're not
really like you know violent people.
>> As Doro continues to explore the world.
Salem and his family will keep sharing
their Lebanese customs.
>> Everything we have is made in house
>> one plate at a time.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
free concert while you're picking out
your own produce. The family-owned
Fiesta Fresh Market in Newcastle,
Delaware, is producing their own version
of NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts,
performances by artists in an office
space. But co-owner Joseé Luis Aguar
Garcia, who also runs a record label,
said, "Roma Calm, let us put our own
twist on this." blending his interest in
music and the family business to
highlight smaller bands all somewhere
between the Lemons and Tomatoes.
>> We've gotten a lot of cool reactions
where why I've seen that people are
coming in and they're like pointing out
the music and then they walk in and they
get surprised that it's actually like a
live band playing at the store.
>> Jose dubbed this series Mercadito
concerts, meaning little market
concerts. Originally, they were only
featuring Latin artists, but thanks to
the fruits of their labor, they have
expanded into different genres, and now
bands are reaching out to them. For
Joseé and Mercadito's full story, be
sure to check out our friends at the
Five Good Things podcast. Okay, two
shout outs for us on this Friday. Mrs.
Jones at Northside High School in Fort
Smith, Arkansas. Thank you for

YouTube channel. And this one goes to
Mrs. Tack it at me Callahan Intermediate
School in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Thank you for this knitted lobster. I

I dedicate the news channel for America.
