  • Antibiotic resistant germs.

  • That's our first topic today, and it's one that international health officials are very concerned about by germs or bugs.

  • The U.

  • S.

  • Centers for Disease Control of Government Health Protection Agency released a new report this week that says there are now five so called superbugs that pose an urgent threat to humans.

  • The last time the CDC released a report like this, there were only three germs listed in that category.

  • The problem is that certain bacteria and fungi are getting good at surviving.

  • Even when antibiotics are given for an infection, antibiotics or one of the miracles of modern medicine.

  • They have saved countless lives.

  • But there's another side to them.

  • The bacteria that live in our body.

  • They've learned how to outwit many of our most powerful antibiotics.

  • Thes drug resistant bacteria are called superbugs.

  • Every year, these superbugs infect more than two million people in the United States and kill at least 23,000.

  • Here's how a bug becomes a superbug when you take an antibiotic, there could be some bacteria that know how to resist that antibiotic.

  • While those smart bacteria they're the ones that survive your round of antibiotics and they flourish.

  • And that's when you get a proliferation of superbugs.

  • And the more that we as a community, take antibiotics, the more chances the bacteria have to become resistant to them.

  • So, in the words of the latest CDC reports, some miracle drugs no longer perform miracles.

  • It did come with some good news.

  • The Centers for Disease Control says the number of deaths and infections caused by germs that resist antibiotics is decreasing.

  • It dropped 18% between 2013 and now, and the number of infections caught in hospitals is down.

  • The bad news, according to the CDC, is that there are still too many germs that resist antibiotics and that they can be caught anywhere in the community.

  • What can be done about this?

  • The report says the answer isn't in developing more powerful antibiotics, but in using them less often.

  • The CDC estimates that as many as 1/3 of the antibiotic prescriptions given in emergency rooms and doctor's offices or it needed.

  • But it doesn't entirely blame doctors for this.

  • It says it can be hard for them to tell when someone has a bacterial infection, which antibiotics can be good for, or a viral one, which they're not.

  • Medical officials also say that if you are prescribed an antibiotic, you should take all love it even after you start feeling better, because not finishing your prescription could allow any remaining bacteria toe.

  • Which planet is closest to Earth in terms of mass and size?

  • Mars, Venus, Neptune or Saturn?

  • The which atmosphere is said to be a poisonous inferno.

  • Okay, now that this show is off the ground, we're reporting on a new Mars lander that China has gotten off the ground.

  • It's not headed to the Red Planet yet, but the lander was recently tested in a part of China that said to have a landscape like that of Mars, with slopes and craters all around.

  • At first, the vehicle was suspended about 230 feet above the earth, and then it hovered in the air and slowly descended until it was just a few feet over the ground.

  • Scientists say the point of this was to test out the lander's ability to stay in the air and avoid hitting any obstacles.

  • Landing safely on Mars is said to be one of the most challenging parts of any mission, even though the planet's gravitational pull is only about 1/3 of that of Earth's.

  • China has invested billions of dollars into its space program.

  • It's hoping to become a leading power in space, and it's planning to launch an unmanned Mars exploration mission next year.

  • There's nothing to eat on Mars, but some people would still rather be stuck with space food than have to eat bugs.

  • They could be a potential food source on the Red Planet, and they are right now on Earth.

  • Of course, when you tell someone we can all just eat crickets, you'll probably hear crickets.
