WEBVTT 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.589 What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire, and 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.910 today on CNN 10, could a tiny tick 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:17.590 really make us allergic to burgers and 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.070 barbecue? Then, NASA reveals its bold 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.990 new plan to build humanity's first 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.470 permanent foothold on the moon. Plus, a 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.390 flight attendant whose career has lasted 00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.790 longer than many airlines. Let's get to 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.189 it. We start with a bite-sized bug 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.510 causing superersized problems. Some tick 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.350 bites can trigger a condition that makes 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.910 people allergic to red meat. Now, US 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.910 Health and Human Services Secretary 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.310 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is launching a new 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.150 initiative to combat Lyme disease and 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.389 other tick-related illnesses. The 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.389 initiative includes funding for tick 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.869 control programs and more research into 00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:53.110 Alpha Gal syndrome, a condition that's 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:54.709 been spreading to more parts of the 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.189 country. CNN's Meg Terrell explains. 00:00:57.199 --> 00:00:59.510 People don't want to go outside anymore. 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.110 They don't want to go hiking. They are 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.349 scared to go gardening or even walk the 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.630 dog. 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.390 >> In Martha's Vineyard, an island people 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:07.910 visit, especially in the summer, to 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.830 enjoy its gorgeous beaches and trails 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.469 and great food scene, ticks are making 00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:13.670 life difficult. 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.070 >> We're surrounded by what is apparently a 00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:19.030 tick haven. 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.510 >> Tom Murphy, his wife Chris, and several 00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:23.270 of their neighbors have all contracted 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.830 an allergy called Alpha Gal. Spread by 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.990 ticks. It makes them allergic to red 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.630 meat. 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.830 >> I had a uh steak dinner with my son. I 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.350 went to bed and everything was fine. 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.670 Everything was normal. And about 2 or so 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.590 in the morning, I woke up and I was 00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.789 having trouble breathing. 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.390 >> So, what were the things you can't eat 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:40.870 anymore? 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.670 >> Well, you can't eat beef, no lamb, no 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.389 pork, no venison. A lot of people can't 00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:47.350 eat dairy. 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:49.510 >> It's spread by a tick called the lonear, 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:51.510 which can transfer a sugar molecule with 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.830 its bite that can spark the allergy. We 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.670 found two on a quick hunt with a tick 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.670 biologist in Tom and Chris's yard. 00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.510 >> So, lone stars were first recorded on 00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:01.830 the island 2011. They're probably here 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.709 before that. 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.310 >> Why is it grown so fast? 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.149 >> We've got a good climate here for ticks. 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.830 Since we're out on the ocean, we have 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.150 plenty of hosts, like very overabundant 00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.630 deer that the ticks just have no problem 00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:14.229 finding a meal. 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:17.750 >> When it bites us, our immune system 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.150 might decide for an invader. Don't like 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:22.390 it. And I'm going to create an allergic 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.830 response. Leah Hamner is an 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.830 epidemiologist on the island. She says 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.750 there's still a lot to learn about the 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:28.390 allergy. 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.110 >> We don't exactly know who's most likely 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.030 to develop alpha gal syndrome and who's 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:34.630 not. There's people who get lonar tick 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:36.710 bites and do not become allergic. 00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:38.790 >> Martha's Vineyard Hospital tested nine 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.270 people for alpha gal in 2020 and only 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.630 two came up positive. In 2024 we did 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:48.309 over,200 tests and 523 of those tests 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.070 were positive. So you can see that we 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:51.509 went from like a positivity rate of 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:54.790 22.2% 2% up to 41.7%. 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.949 It can be quite frightening for patients 00:02:56.959 --> 00:02:59.670 because the allergy can be mild 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.070 including itching, rashes, some GI 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.390 symptoms, but it can also be very severe 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.030 and unfortunately quite unpredictable. 00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:11.270 About onethird of our customers that 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.270 come in have Alpha Gal. 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.869 >> Farm stands and restaurants on the 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.030 island are also adapting to try to help 00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:19.589 their customers. So many people were 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.509 just shell shocked that they had to 00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:23.910 change their diets immediately and so 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:25.990 they needed support with that. So I've 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.670 been buying alternative dairy 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.550 plant-based cheeses. Um this is like a 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.589 oops like a feta-ike cheese and I bake 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.509 with this and it's melty. 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:40.630 >> So here we have our turkey bolognese uh 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:42.630 which is completely alpha gal friendly. 00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:44.149 We want to make sure we can accommodate 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.949 this allergy because it's spreading like 00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.589 wildfire. 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.589 >> Pop quiz hot shot. Which of these items 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.509 left on the moon by astronauts is still 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.589 there today? A golf ball, a family 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:03.030 photo, a feather, or all of the above? 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:05.030 If you said all of the above, ding ding. 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:07.429 In the 1970s, astronaut Charles Duke 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.670 left a family photo. David Scott left a 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.589 feather after testing Galileo's famous 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.750 science experiment. And Alan Shepard hit 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:17.030 a golf ball across the lunar surface. 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.030 NASA has announced a series of upcoming 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.349 missions to establish a long-term human 00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:23.189 presence on the moon. During the 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.110 historic Artemis 2 mission this past 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.430 April, NASA tested systems to help 00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:29.990 astronauts live and work beyond short 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.310 visits. The goal? Build knowledge for 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.390 sustained exploration on the moon and 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:36.710 eventually missions to Mars. At a 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.870 conference in Washington DC, NASA said 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:40.629 there will be three parts to this 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.189 initiative called Moonbase. Phase one is 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.870 expected to begin this fall with 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:46.950 critical equipment and infrastructure 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.189 being launched towards the moon. If 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.030 successful, Moonbase will become 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.189 humanity's first permanent outpost 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.510 beyond Earth. NASA is funding private 00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.590 companies to develop lunar vehicles, 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.990 rovers, and technology that could help 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.790 astronauts work, travel, and even live 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.030 on the moon. Just when we thought her 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.550 story was finished, one of the greatest 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.469 athletes of all time is picking up the 00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:11.110 pen again. The queen returns. That was 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.189 the message from Queens Club in London 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.510 after confirming Serena Williams will 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:17.350 make her comeback in the doubles draw 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.270 ahead of Wimbledon. This is massive. 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:21.189 We're not just talking about a 23-time 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.590 Grand Slam singles champ. A player who 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.150 spent more than 300 weeks ranked number 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.710 one. This is a global icon who helped 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.510 transform women's sports. Serena turns 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:34.070 45 in a few months. hasn't played a pro 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:36.390 match in years. She lost in singles in 00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:39.110 the third round of the US Open in 2022. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.870 And yet, her return instantly sends a 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:42.870 jolt of electricity through the tennis 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.270 world. Who will be her doubles partner? 00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:47.590 That hasn't been announced. How far can 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.350 she go? Does this mean she's preparing 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.110 to play Wimbledon as well? That's 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.110 anyone's guess. Remember, she appeared 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.029 on an international testing pool list 00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.990 dated from October of 2025. That sparked 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.830 the initial rumors about a potential 00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.830 comeback, but she shot those down by 00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:04.070 tweeting in December, "OMG, y'all, I'm 00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:05.830 not coming back." But one thing's 00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:07.830 certain, when Serena Williams walks back 00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:09.749 onto the court, the sporting world will 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.670 be watching. She's a true legend that 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.830 has the power to bring everything to a 00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.550 standstill. Now to an update on Russia's 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.350 ongoing war on Ukraine, where rats are 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.189 being used to help find hidden and 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.350 deadly danger lurking underground in 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.950 large parts of the country. While 00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:26.950 Russian drones continue to pose a daily 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:29.270 threat from the skies across Ukraine, 00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:31.510 our Isabel Rosales has more on 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:34.390 landmines. 00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.070 >> Step by step, 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:39.749 >> sweep by sweep, the slow and painstaking 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.309 rhythm of mine clearance in Ukraine. 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.909 Some 25 miles or 40 km outside Kev, this 00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:47.749 team is working to make sure the fields 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.230 and forests are safe from mines and 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.350 other potential dangers. It's slow but 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.189 critical work. Since the start of 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.909 Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, 00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:00.230 the United Nations says Ukraine has 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.790 become the most heavily mined country in 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.870 the world. According to the UN, an 00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:07.990 estimated 20% of Ukraine's territory, an 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.070 area larger than England and Wales 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:13.189 combined, is now contaminated with mines 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.150 and other unexloded ordinance. And 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.629 experts with the Halo Trust, the world's 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.710 largest humanitarian demining 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.670 organization, say the process in Ukraine 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.710 will take at least 10 years. That's time 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.350 when fields will go unplanted. Homes and 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.749 businesses will remain in ruins and 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.070 people's livelihoods will continue to 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:36.790 suffer. Already, Ukraine is feeling the 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.350 impacts from human casualties. The UN 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.189 says hundreds of civilians have been 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.350 killed or wounded by landmines and other 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.430 explosive material. 00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:47.830 To the rising economic toll, the UN 00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:49.749 estimates that the presence of landmines 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.830 and other munitions is costing the 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:55.029 country 11 billion a year. While the 00:07:55.039 --> 00:07:57.589 scale of the demining project is vast. 00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:00.230 The Halo Trust says the same advances in 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.830 technology that have transformed the 00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:04.230 battlefield are already helping to speed 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.790 up their own process. The group has 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.430 started using drones and AI to survey 00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:12.070 contaminated land and identify potential 00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:15.029 threats. Technology Prince Harry was 00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:17.029 able to test out during a recent visit 00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:19.510 to Ukraine. Elsewhere, the Halo Trust 00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:22.070 has turned to unmanned systems like this 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:24.390 remote control digger, which excavates 00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:27.110 soil littered with mines, then chews it 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.909 up in a specialized grinder. Despite the 00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:32.389 advances in technology, it's not suited 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.670 to every task. That's when deminers rely 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:37.990 on a more old-fashioned and more 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.949 dangerous approach.

When she began her 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:05.829 career at Pacific Airlines in 1959, the 00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:07.750 plane still relied on propellers and 00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:09.750 only carried a few dozen passengers. 00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:12.790 Alaska and Hawaii were brand new states. 00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:14.870 She's witnessed the jet age take off. 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:16.870 And she's helped train generations of 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:18.550 flight attendants. After tens of 00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:20.070 thousands of treks and safety 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.389 demonstrations, she says one flight 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.750 flies above the rest. 00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:27.430 >> I flew a craft trip, a military flight, 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.630 and we flew to Frankfurt. We got out to 00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:33.030 the airport at midnight and we were 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:36.790 about to pick up 220 00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:39.430 refugees from Afghanistan 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.230 who were leaving their country forever 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.350 to come to the United States to be safe. 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.710 That was my favorite. 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.269 >> Her favorite destinations Paris, Mumbai, 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.829 and Hong Kong.
