What's up, sunshine?
2
I'm KoiWire, and today on CNN 10,
3
could a tiny tick really make us allergic to burgers and barbecue?
4
Then, NASA reveals its bold new plan to build humanity's first permanent foothold on the moon,
5
plus a flight attendant whose career has lasted longer than many airlines.
6
Let's get to it.
7
We start with a bite-sized bug causing supersized problems.
8
Some tick bites can trigger a condition that makes people allergic to red meat.
9
Now, U.S.
10
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
11
Kennedy Jr. is launching a new initiative to combat Lyme disease and other tick-related illnesses.
12
The initiative includes funding for tick control programs and more research into alpha-gal syndrome,
13
a condition that's been spreading to more parts of the country.
14
CNN's Meg Terrell explains.
15
People don't want to go outside anymore.
16
They don't want to go hiking.
17
They are scared to go gardening or even walk the dog.
18
In Martha's Vineyard, an island people visit,
19
especially in the summer, to enjoy its gorgeous beaches and trails and great food scene,
20
ticks are making life difficult.
21
We're surrounded by what is apparently a tick haven.
22
Tom Murphy, his wife Chris,
23
and several of their neighbors have all contracted an allergy called alpha-gal, spread by ticks.
24
It makes them allergic to red meat.
25
I had a steak dinner with my son.
26
I went to bed and everything was fine,
27
everything was normal, and about two or so in the morning,
28
I woke up and I was having trouble breathing.
29
So what were the things you can't eat anymore?
30
Well, you can't eat beef,
31
no lamb, no pork, no venison.
32
A lot of people can't eat dairy.
33
It's spread by a tick called the lone star,
34
which can transfer a sugar molecule with its bite that can spark the allergy.
35
We found two on a quick hunt with a tick biologist in Tom and Chris's yard.
36
So Lone Sars were first recorded on the island in 2011.
37
They're probably here before that.
38
Why has it grown so fast?
39
We've got a good climate here for ticks since we're out on the ocean.
40
We have plenty of hosts,
41
like very overabundant deer, that the ticks just have no problem finding a meal.
42
When it bites us, our immune system might decide foreign invader don't like it,
43
and I'm going to create an allergic response.
44
Leah Hamner is an epidemiologist on the island.
45
She says there's still a lot to learn about the allergy.
46
We don't exactly know who's most likely to develop alpha-gal syndrome and who's not.
47
There's people who get lone star tick bites and do not become allergic.
48
Martha's Vineyard Hospital tested nine people for alpha-gal in 2020,
49
and only two came up positive.
50
In 2024, we did over 1,200 tests and 523 of those tests were positive.
51
So you can see that we went from like a positivity rate of 22.2% up to 41.7%.
52
It can be quite frightening for patients because the allergy can be mild,
53
including itching, rashes, some GI symptoms,
54
but it can also be very severe and unfortunately quite unpredictable.
55
About one third of our customers that come in have alpha-gal.
56
Farm stands and restaurants on the island are also adapting to try to help their customers.
57
So many people were just shell-shocked that they had to change their diets immediately.
58
And so they needed support with that.
59
So I've been buying alternative dairy plant-based cheeses.
60
This is like a feta-like cheese,
61
and I bake with this and it's melty.
62
So here we have our turkey bolognese,
63
which is completely alpha-gal friendly.
64
We want to make sure we can accommodate this allergy because it's spreading like wildfire.
65
Pacquia's hot shot.
66
Which of these items left on the moon by astronauts is still there today?
67
A golf ball, a family photo,
68
a feather, or all of the above?
69
If you said all of the above, ding ding.
70
In the 1970s, astronaut Charles Duke left the family photo.
71
David Scott left the feather after testing Galileo's famous science experiment,
72
and Alan Shepard hit a golf ball across the lunar surface.
73
NASA has announced a series of upcoming missions to establish a long term human presence on the moon.
74
During the historic Artemis 2 mission this past April,
75
NASA tested systems to help astronauts live and work beyond short visits.
76
The goal, build knowledge for sustained exploration on the moon and eventually missions to Mars.
77
At a conference in Washington,
78
DC, NASA said there will be three parts to this initiative called Moonbase.
79
Phase one is expected to begin this fall with critical equipment and infrastructure being launched towards the moon.
80
If successful, Moonbase will become humanity's first permanent outpost beyond Earth.
81
NASA is funding private companies to develop lunar vehicles,
82
rovers and technology that could help astronauts work,
83
travel and even live on the moon.
84
Just when we thought her story was finished,
85
one of the greatest athletes of all time is picking up the pen again.
86
The Queen returns.
87
That was the message from Queen's Club in London after confirming
88
Serena Williams will make her comeback in the doubles draw ahead of Wimbledon.
89
This is massive.
90
We're not just talking about a 23-time Grand Slam singles champ,
91
a player who spent more than 300 weeks ranked number one.
92
This is a global icon who helped transform women's sports.
93
Serena turns 45 in a few months,
94
hasn't played a pro match in years.
95
She lost in singles in the third round of the U.S.
96
Open in 2022.
97
And yet her return instantly sends a jolt of electricity through the tennis world.
98
Who will be her doubles partner that hasn't been announced?
99
How far can she go?
100
Does this mean she's preparing to play Wimbledon as well?
101
That's anyone's guess.
102
Remember, she appeared on an international testing pool list dated from October of 2025.
103
That sparked the initial rumors about a potential comeback,
104
but she shot those down by tweeting in December,
105
OMG, y'all, I'm not coming back.
106
But one thing's certain, when Serena Williams walks back onto the court,
107
the sporting world will be watching.
108
She's a true legend that has the power to bring everything to a standstill.
109
Now to an update on Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine,
110
where rats are being used to help find hidden and deadly danger lurking underground in large parts of the country.
111
While Russian drones continue to pose a daily threat from the skies across Ukraine,
112
our Isabel Rosales has more on landmines.
113
Step by step, sweep by sweep,
114
the slow and painstaking rhythm of mine clearance in Ukraine.
115
Some 25 miles or 40 kilometers outside Kyiv,
116
this team is working to make sure the fields and forests are safe from mines and other potential dangers.
117
It's slow, but critical work.
118
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022,
119
the United Nations says Ukraine has become the most heavily mined country in the world.
120
According to the UN, an estimated 20% of Ukraine's territory,
121
an area larger than England and Wales combined,
122
is now contaminated with mines and other unexploded ordnance.
123
And experts with the Halo Trust,
124
the world's largest humanitarian demining organization,
125
say the process in Ukraine will take at least 10 years.
126
That's time when fields will go unplanted,
127
homes and businesses will remain in ruins.
128
And people's livelihoods will continue to suffer.
129
Already, Ukraine is feeling the impacts.
130
From human casualties, the U.N says hundreds of civilians have been killed or wounded by landmines and other explosive material.
131
To the rising economic toll, the U.N estimates that the presence of landmines
132
and other munitions is costing the country $11 billion a year.
133
While the scale of the demining project is vast,
134
the Halo Trust says the same advances in technology
135
that have transformed the battlefield are already helping to speed up their own process.
136
The group has started using drones and AI to survey contaminated land and identify potential threats.
137
Technology Prince Harry was able to test out during a recent visit to Ukraine.
138
Elsewhere, the Halo Trust has turned to unmanned systems,
139
like this remote-controlled digger, which excavates soil littered with mines,
140
then chews it up in a specialized grinder.
141
Despite the advances in technology,
142
it's not suited to every task.
143
That's when deminers rely on a more old-fashioned and more dangerous approach,
144
removing the mines by hand.
145
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10,
146
the retirement to end all retirements.
147
Joan Prince Crandall is hanging up her wings after more than 66 years as a flight attendant.
148
Delta Airlines says she may be the longest serving flight attendant in airline history.
149
When she began her career at Pacific Airlines in 1959,
150
the plane still relied on propellers and only carried a few dozen passengers.
151
Alaska and Hawaii were brand new states.
152
She's witnessed the jet age take off and she's helped train generations of flight attendants.
153
After tens of thousands of treks and safety demonstrations,
154
she says one flight flies above the rest.
155
I flew a craft trip,
156
a military flight, and we flew to Frankfurt.
157
We got out to the airport at midnight,
158
and we were about to pick up 220 refugees from Afghanistan who were leaving their country forever
159
to come to the United States to be safe.
160
That was my favorite.
161
Her favorite destinations?
162
Paris, Mumbai, and Hong Kong.
163
Ms. Joan Prince-Crandall, you are now cleared for retirement.
164
That's about all we have time for today, but we have shout-outs.
165
This first one goes to Miss Goodridge at Lyman High School in Longwood, Florida.
166
Congratulations on your retirement.
167
Here's to opening the DOA to your next chapter.
168
Thank you for inspiring generations of TV production students,
169
including our very own Brendan Buckley B.
170
Double.
171
He's a gift that you didn't even know you'd be giving us one day.
172
This show would not be what it is today without teachers like you.
173
And Miss Everhart, Mr. Merrill and Mr. Fitzgerald at Roland Grise Middle School in Wilmington, North Carolina.
174
Sailor, you did this?
175
Hand knitted?
176
This banner?

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a fala com vídeos como este da CNN é uma ótima maneira de aprender inglês com YouTube. O tema abordado, que relaciona uma picada de carrapato a alergias a carne vermelha, não só é intrigante, mas também oferece um contexto rico para o aprendizado da língua. Durante o vídeo, você pode observar como o apresentador KoiWire utiliza uma linguagem clara e acessível, o que facilita a compreensão. Ao repetir e imitar as falas do vídeo, você consegue melhorar sua pronúncia, entonação e fluidez na língua inglesa.
Gramática & Expressões no Contexto
O vídeo contém várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são úteis para os aprendizes. Aqui estão algumas delas:
- “Could a tiny tick really make us allergic” - A utilização do modal “could” para expressar possibilidade é comum na língua falada.
- “A condition that makes people allergic” - Aqui, a construção de orações relativa é usada para adicionar informações.
- “We’ve got a good climate here for ticks” - O uso de “have got” é uma maneira informal de utilizar possessivos, muito comum em conversas.
- “Everything was fine” - Essa expressão simples ilustra como o passado simples é usado para narrar eventos.
Essas estruturas, quando analisadas em contexto, ajudam os alunos a entender melhor como a língua inglesa é usada em situações cotidianas, tornando shadow speak uma técnica eficaz para treinamento.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
A pronúncia é um dos aspectos mais desafiadores do aprendizado de uma língua. No vídeo, algumas palavras e expressões podem causar confusão. Preste atenção em:
- “Tick” - A pronúncia do som “t” final pode ser sutil, mas é crucial para a clareza.
- “Lone star” - A junção das palavras pode levar a uma pronúncia rápida e confusa se não praticada devagar.
- “Alpha-gal syndrome” - As palavras compostas e técnicas exigem atenção especial para serem ditas corretamente.
Praticar estas expressões através de shadow speech pode ajudar a reforçar a pronúncia correta. Ao imitar os sons e ritmos do vídeo, você se tornará mais confiante ao falar inglês.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
