house with more. the white house takes aim at the zika virus, asking congress for more than 1-point-8 billion in emergency funding to fight it. puerto rico, the u-s virgin islands, and american samoa are among the thirty countries and territories where the c-d-c says active transmissions are taking place. mosquito bites have not caused any of the cases in the u-s, but, that could change. the specific type of mosquito which carries virus is common in florida and in states bordering mexico. schuchat says: "..the mosquito that spreads zika virus is an aggressive daytime biter. it lives outside and inside the home and it can be pretty hard to control it." while many people don't experience any symptoms, there's evidence that the virus is tied to birth defects in brazil. zika can also be sexually transmitted, so the c-d-c is urging pregnant women to stay away from affected areas, and advising their male partners who've visited trouble spots to use extra caution. schuchat says: "..people returning from zika affected areas whether they've had symptoms or not should take precautions in

lots of restaurants that exist that you don't have access to what is going on, you know, behind the counter." dr. crawford says when we eat out we should make sure all surfaces are clean, workers are wearing gloves and headgear, and that no one is sick behind the counter. the biggest game night of the year just celebrated its 50th year. over the last half century, super bowl sunday has grown into america's consistently most-watched sporting event... ...gaining more and more viewers, and fetching higher and higher ad prices for host networks. and last night, the n-f-l delivered once again. reid binion reports. nats "denver wins!" super bowl 50 was a close game... until nearly the end.... ...serving up a euphoric victory for the broncos... nats fans ... an excruciating - and bitter defeat the panthers...

"thank you very much. go

his future... "not making an emotional decision one way or the other." "like i said i'm going to kind of enjoy tonight, take it one step at a time." ...but if this was his last game, he couldn't have scripted it better. as always, the game was about much more than just tackles and touch downs half-time was a star-powered musical blow-out... coldplay plus ..beyonce... "ok ladies now let's get in formation."...and another super bowl half-time veteran - bruno mars...
