  • They were apparently targeted by an act of sabotage.

  • International officials, including US Secretary of State Pompeo, are not saying Iran was behind it, and Iran's government called the incidents quote alarming and regrettable.

  • But anxiety is high in the region.

  • We know we now know that there were four vessels.

  • Two of them were registered to Saudi Arabia, one too registered to the Emirates and one registered to Norway.

  • What appears to have happened?

  • What we're understanding and learning is that a call was made in the early hours of Sunday morning saying that water was perhaps getting into the engine room.

  • That's something out of the ordinary was happening.

  • And over the space of the next couple of hours it appeared that full vessels out here in the streets of Hamas off the port of Fuji era were experiencing some sort of irregularities.

  • Emirati authorities began investigating, and that's when they realized there were these incidents of sabotage.

  • Now it's not quite clear yet what caused the this sabotage, how it was perpetrated, or even for that matter, who perpetrated it?

  • Emirati authorities, clearly investigating.

  • But what we What we know is that these four vessels out here and you can see across the horizon here about 100 or so vessels parked up here that these four different vessels that were impacted by the sabotage We're not in the same place.

  • They were scattered throughout the area on, Of course, this comes at a time when is rising tensions between the United States and Iran?

  • What was the name of NASA's last manned mission to the moon Luna to Apollo 13 constellation for Apollo 17 the last time a human set foot on the moon surface was during NASA's Apollo 17 mission.

  • The first time someone set foot on the moon occurred 50 years ago, on July 16th.

  • 1969 is part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission.

  • NASA estimates that 530 million people around the world watched on TV or listened on the radio as Commander Neil Armstrong took the first steps.

  • He also took a little bit of hate over something, he said.

  • When Neil Armstrong stepped out to become the first man on the moon, not a soul on Earth could have guessed he would land in the middle of a cosmic controversy.

  • Please.

  • The problem, the first part of his historic sentence that's one small step for man is grammatically incorrect.

  • It should have been one small step for a man and that missing a has been setting off grammarians ever since, left it off the final lift off of Atlantis.

  • Through all the years, NASA has insisted that he did say the A and modern microphones would have picked it up.

  • Instead, the word was lost on scratchy old equipment, operating nearly 1/4 1,000,000 miles away.

  • And Armstrong, though he rarely gave interviews throughout his life, agreed with NASA so much, Many scientists have tried, lies the recordings and break down the sound waves with inconclusive results.

  • But now researchers from Michigan State and Ohio State believe they have evidence that Armstrong's utterance may have been shaped less my space than by something very down to earth.

  • The famous astronaut was an Ohio boy, and these researchers studied hundreds of recordings of natives saying the words four and A and they found almost 200 times the words were pushed together, making a sound like fraud.

  • So listen again, like the moon trip itself.

  • The theory may be a long shot, but it could also prove the final word on the words of the man on the moon.

  • Tom Foreman, CNN Washington Maybe you've heard of gorillas in the mist this video proves they don't like the rain.

  • At least these gorillas don't.

  • A zookeeper recorded this at the Riverbank Zoo in South Carolina.

  • The animals are apparently under an awning, but where they really want to be is under their roof after one of them makes the trip.

  • It's not long before the others follow suit.

  • For the primates in that climate, it's high time it got more dry.

  • It makes them sigh.

  • If there's a giant storm so violent they were violent, wonder why it won't be quiet.

  • They can riot.

  • They will buy it.

  • So to tie it up, just dry it up and give the ape a break.

  • When the weather becomes wetter and you don't want help, they're Skeletor.
