  • seven days into October, We thank you for taking the time to watch CNN.

  • 10.

  • My name is Carla Zeus.

  • Our down the middle coverage of world events begins with a recap of a recent meeting between delegates from the United States and North Korea.

  • Those two countries have been rivals since the Korean War took place in the early 19 fifties.

  • But U.

  • S President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong un have met twice since last summer, making history in the process, they've been trying to see if they can establish a lasting diplomatic relationship and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.

  • There's been no major agreement yet.

  • A key issue between them is North Korea's nuclear program.

  • The country sees that as it's right.

  • The international community, which includes the U.

  • S, sees the program as illegal, and America has put strict sanctions in place limits on parts of North Korea's economy that are intended to pressure the communist country to give up its nuclear program.

  • North Korea wants those sanctions removed, but timing has been the sticking point.

  • North Korea wants all of the American sanctions lifted before the country gives up its nuclear weapons.

  • The U.

  • S wants North Korea to get rid of its nuclear weapons before the sanctions are lifted.

  • So it's an issue of who makes the first move.

  • The two sides have continued negotiating, though.

  • Over the weekend, American and North Korean delicates met in Sweden for talks at the working level, meaning neither of the country's leaders nor top officials were there.

  • But negotiators from both sides work.

  • So how did the talks go?

  • That depends on whom you ask.

  • The working level talks between the U.

  • S.

  • And North Korea ended in Stockholm, Sweden, on Dhe.

  • Judging from the responses from both sides, you could imagine they were in completely different meetings.

  • This often happens between the U.

  • S.

  • And North Korea.

  • We heard from the North Koreans that there were no fresh ideas, that they were very upset, that these talks have broken down.

  • And we heard from the U.

  • S side that they had a very good discussion on.

  • There were plenty off fresh ideas.

  • So what we heard from Kim Yang Gil, he's wth e the North Korean who was leading their delegation.

  • Hey, said that the U.

  • S.

  • Was sticking to old attitudes and old ideas.

  • Now what we can read into that is that potentially the U.

  • S.

  • Was not willing to e sanctions immediately before seeing any concrete moves from the North Korean side.

  • But we did hear from from the U.

  • S side, Steve Beacon was leading those discussions.

  • We heard from a State Department spokesperson saying that they don't believe the North Korean comments actually characterized the eight and 1/2 hour discussion.

  • They said there were good discussions.

  • There were fresh ideas.

  • They also said that Sweden had invited them back in two weeks time to continue the discussions and they believed that that that was going to happen from the North Korean side.

  • They said that the the the U.

  • S.

  • Should should go away and should think about what it has done and decide by the end of the year if it was going to come up with anything new, also saying that they are now at a crossroads of dialogue or confrontation.

  • Now, this is not the first time that this has happened a very different idea of the discussions at hand.

  • But at least the two sides had discussed for eight and 1/2 hours, which is one good sign.

  • Whether they meet in another couple of weeks.

  • We simply don't know.

  • Paula Hancocks, CNN Hong Kong.

  • In an average year, between five and 10 people in America gets sick with the virus.

  • Called Eastern Equine Encephalitis, it's a disease carried by mosquitoes.

  • This year there have already been 32 cases, mostly in the northeastern U.

  • S.

  • And it's particularly alarming since the virus kills about 30% of those who get infected.

  • Scientists say most outbreaks of E take place from the late spring through early fall, but they don't know why this outbreak is worse than previous ones.

  • E E is carried in birds.

  • Mosquitoes that bite them and also bite humans can spread it, experts say.

  • There's a large population of birds in Massachusetts that have no immunity to the virus, so that could be a starting point.

  • The virus itself might have mutated to spread more easily.

  • Also, there was a lot of humidity and heat in the Northeast this summer.

  • Mosquitoes thrive in those conditions, and scientists say a hard frost will kill off the insects when it hits.

  • Until that happens, they recommend using insect repellents wearing long pants and long sleeves and staying indoors from dusk to dawn when mosquito activity is highest.

  • In fact, the University of Connecticut had a football game scheduled for 7 p.m. On Saturday.

  • They moved it up to noon over concerns about E.

  • Rhode Island.

  • Is another state being affected while a Rhode Island baseball team squeezes in the late summer practice above, Something is happening in the state for the first time in nearly 30 years.

  • Aerial spraying to kill mosquitoes, a last line of defense in the states fight against Triple E.

  • There are certain, um, conditions like this year, where we have to go above and beyond the normal measures because people's health is at risk.

  • Eastern Equine encephalitis, or Tripoli, is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes through a mosquito bite and can cause a rare brain infection, sometimes death.

  • I have a couple, three at least candidate female mosquitoes in here.

  • Al Goodman is an entomologist for the state.

  • He studied mosquitoes for 27 years, tracking their habitats and what diseases they could carry, like West Nile and Tripoli.

  • You're around mosquitoes all the time.

  • Are you alarmed by this spike that we're seeing Well, yes, This is a very, very unusual year we're having here in southern New England.

  • Nothing quite like this has been observed before where Hee hee has become so widespread.

  • At least 30 people have become ill in six states this year after being bitten by mosquitoes carrying Tripoli.

  • 11 of them have died finding answers as to why the widespread spike starts with catching mosquitoes.

  • You're laying more traps now at the direction of the state.

  • Why we all want to know in this very unusual year how much Hee Hee is out there.

  • Where is it?

  • What species of mosquito is it in etcetera?

  • Getman leaves the traps overnight, and by next morning, well, that's a good mosquito catch for this time of year.

  • Next, it's back to the lab where those mosquitoes are frozen and separated by species.

  • That's our weekly routine, is produced these vials and get him up to our state health department, where the mosquitoes are ground up and tested for the presence of Triple E results.

  • Inform state officials about next steps on how to combat the disease.

  • It's a process repeated every summer.

  • We really can't predict it's gonna be a bad summer.

  • While the disease is cyclical and outbreaks happen every few years, officials say determining why it's setting records now will take time.

  • What would you say?

  • It's the people that are really worried.

  • The threat is out there.

  • That's certain.

  • The obvious message to the public is to remain vigilant.

  • Protect yourself for mosquito bites.

  • For the rest of the season, Herculaneum was an ancient city buried by the eruption of what volcano Mount Etna, Santa Maria, Mount Vesuvius or Galeras 80 79.

  • Herculaneum was one of several cities destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

  • Scientists from the University of Kentucky are trying to use new technology to get a read on some ancient Roman scrolls.

  • The paper of scrolls were discovered in the ruins of Herculaneum in 17 52 but no one's been able to read them because they were charred in the first century.

  • Eruption of Vesuvius and physically tryingto unroll the scrolls could ruin them completely.

  • So here's what researchers were doing.

  • First, they used a synchrotron, an incredibly powerful source of X rays to take detailed pictures of the delicate scrolls.

  • Next, they're using a computer program to look through the images in the hopes that it will be able to tell the difference between the layers of papery us and the ink that's on them.

  • It could take more than six months to do this, but if it works, it could unravel anything from an ancient Christian text to a Greek philosophical text to a first century grocery list.

  • There's just no telling what's on it, but the leader of the research team says If we've made the effort to save the scroll, we should try to read it.

  • Lamborghini Aventador Unless you find one on sale for, like, say, 97% off, you won't find one for $20,000.

  • But that's how much a father and son say they've spent building this one.

  • The dad is a physicist who works with lasers that probably helped in the three D printing of the car's pieces, which were then glued together.

  • It has a Corvette engine, and it could be finished after two years of work.

  • They hope it'll get others interested in engineering.

  • Maybe one day they'll drive it, or one day they'll dread it.

  • But even if it's not really, you gotta limber, give him credit.

  • Three D.

  • Printing a car may seem a little quixotic, but it's a whole new third dimension of exotic.

  • You can get a lot of power from an L S or a Hemi, and you'll have a mural image of a lightning Lamborghini.

  • It brings the cost down to something more affordable.

  • A carpet fiber copy.

  • That's our event.

  • Adorable off Carlos is on the loose for CNN.
