I'm coral resumes for seeing intent on the Chinese calendar. 3 

It's known as Chinese New Year Lunar New Year. 5 

Spring Festival celebration will last just over two weeks, and it's the reason for the largest annual human migration on earth. 6 

But it's coming with an additional concern this year. 7 

That's having effects far beyond China. 8 

When we first reported on the Wuhan Corona virus earlier this week, the mysterious illness had sickened more than 40 people and killed two. 9 

Now, health officials say, 17 people have died from the disease and at least 540 cases have been confirmed in China. 10 

Additional cases have been reported in South Korea, Thailand. 12 

In Japan, there are some suspected cases in Australia, and at least one case has reached America with a virus patient in Washington state. 13 

But several other cases are being tested in the United States, and they involve people who either travelled to Wuhan or had close contact with someone else who might have the virus. 14 

It's named for a province of central eastern China, where the disease was first detected in mid December. 15 

Most of the initial patients had been to a large seafood and animal market in Wuhan. 16 

A Corona virus can cause breathing problems, and the Wuhan Corona virus has been causing pneumonia. 17 

And because it's spread across oceans, international medical officials are trying to figure out what they need to do to stop it. 18 

This could involve screening people who travel to other countries, monitoring travellers more closely for symptoms of the virus and coming up with plans for treating the disease. 19 

It's timing is particularly bad for China. 20 

Hundreds of millions of people are traveling right now for Lunar New Year, and they're often in close contact with others on trains and planes. 21 

In fact, Chinese officials have stopped transportation moving out of Wuhan. 22 

For the time being, China is on the move to celebrate the Lunar New Year. 23 

Tens of millions of people will head home to visit family by air, sea train and car an estimated three billion trips at Beijing's crowded railway station. 24 

Many travelers are wearing masks to protect themselves from the far spreading Wu Han Corona virus. 25 

But others say they're not very concerned, even though the city of Wuhan, which is at the center of the outbreak is a major air and railway connection for central China. 26 

Right now, it's said the case is in Beijing came from Wuhan and then they fell ill. 27 

Not that Beijing itself was the source of the epidemic, so I don't think it's too serious. 28 

I just need to pay attention to your health and personal hygiene and things like that, and particularly the young and elderly who tried to avoid going to public places, especially during the holiday. 29 

Chinese officials say they're enhancing screenings at airports and train stations to contain the virus, but the outbreak comes at a time when the country's transport system is operating at full capacity. 30 

China's state railway group estimates that Chinese travelers will take 11 million train trips per day during the Spring Festival, and airports around China have scheduled at least 17,000 flights a day last year, state media said close to seven million people traveled abroad for the Lunar New Year. 31 

The holiday begins on Saturday, so right now it is peak travel time for one of the greatest migrations of people on the planet, and keeping the virus from spreading further is critical, Zane Asher. 32 

What was the name of the last shuttle that flew in NASA's space shuttle program? 34 

Atlantis Discovery Endeavour for enterprise. 35 

It was in the summer of 2011 that space shuttle Atlantis touched down in the last mission of the program. 36 

It's like maybe nine, bringing you what wear down, down a little bit early. 39 

In fact, coming back down to Earth with two animal stories. 40 

The first concerns a flightless parent. 41 

It's called the kakapo, and it's native to New Zealand. 43 

There aren't a lot of them, and they don't breed quickly or successfully. 44 

Scientists estimate that a chick hatches from only 1/3 of all the kakapo eggs laid, but they're making a slow come back on a remote island off the south coast of New Zealand. 45 

Of the world's heaviest and only flightless parents. 46 

The cock oppose wings are too short for the birds to get airborne, so instead they rely on the beak and claws to climb of trees They live to around 60 years, despite one's being one of New Zealand's most abundant birds today, they're one of the country's most rare and threatened species. 47 

Khakpour used to be one of the most common birds in New Zealand, but when people arrived, things started to go wrong. 48 

Food people cleared the forest, which they live in on people poor mammals with them, which predated the car couple. 50 

So things like cats, dogs on Stokes Khakpour almost became extinct. 51 

Andrew Digby is part of the kakapo recovery program, established in 1995 to bring this charismatic bird back from the brink of extinction. 52 

Cackle over only breeds about every three years or so, And that's when a particular type of tree produces lots and lots of fruit, and they breed and responsive. 53 

Today, Andrew's team on the island to check on the kakapo they have electronically tagged. 54 

Finding these supremely camouflage birds is not an easy task. 55 

Every car Cole has a transmitter on it, for example, so we can track where it is and what its activities. 56 

We optimize the feeding so each carcass forgets its own individual diet. 57 

Light amount of food for that particular bird way have scales in the feeling station, so we can weigh the car. 58 

Couple know how much it is, and they have a lockable lid so we can make sure that only that car couple and not the other car couple get into that particular feeding station. 59 

Since the recovery program began in the nineties, population has quadrupled. 60 

Ultimate goal is to return car couple to the mainland of Museum, so people in New Zealand near the city's can hear car couple booming like people used to hundreds of years ago in southern Florida. 62 

This week, some residents heard iguanas falling out of trees. 63 

A recent cold front that swept South dragged temperatures down to the low forties and high thirties in around Miami that is very unusual and very cold for this part of the country. 65 

And for cold blooded iguanas, scientists say it makes them go into a dormant state. 66 

They're literally stunned by the cold. 67 

They're still breathing, and their bodies most important, systems air still running as long as the temperature doesn't stay that low. 68 

But because iguana is often sleep in trees, the cold can cause them to lose their grip on things and dropped to the ground. 69 

The animals can weigh up to £20 so the Miami National Weather Service told people to be on guard against reigning reptiles. 70 

Iguanas are not an ingredient on Australia's longest ever continuous pizza. 71 

But if you're wondering why that title was so long, it's because this pie stretches more than 337 feet. 72 

That's about the length of a football field, but it's not for football players. 73 

The Italian restaurant that make this behemoth did it to raise money for the firefighters battling Australia's ongoing wildfires. 74 

It took about five hours to cook and made 4000 slices. 75 

Spin that surely I'm gonna bake some cheesy puns about that. 76 

I'm kind of a ham there, the pine apple of my eye. 77 

No way I wouldn't leave mushroom to pepperoni, my program just to pesto you before we believe I just can't leave y'all and pizza. 79 

The restaurant found a way to fight fire with pie, and we hope it helps put out both flames and appetites in a part of the world in need. 81
