John Kirby
We have seen some early indications that would certainly point to the possibility that this jet was brought down by Russian air defense system. That said, we have offered our assistance to that investigation should they need it, should they want it.

The Centers for Disease Control has found potentially concerning mutations in the bird flu. The mutations were found in a sample from a patient recently hospitalized in Louisiana. The discovery raises concern over potential human to human infection, but the CDC says the risk to the public remains low. Dr. Deborah Brix says the problem may be bigger than people think, though, because testing for the viruses has so far been limited.

Dr. Deborah Brix
They're monitoring more than 10,000 exposures, but they've only tested 530. What does that mean? That means we're not testing enough and we know from other viruses that a lot of the spread can be asymptomatic.

Meteorologists are warning people to stay away from the beach on the California coast while the high surf advisory is in effect. People should not swim or surf because it's dangerous, says meteorologist Braden Murdoch for the National Weather Service.

Meteorologist
We can't recommend much in the way of fishing or even taking the pets along the beach. If they're still what they think is far away from the water, it could still sneak up on you.

It's also discouraged to be on a recreational boat or a small craft at this time. Water temperatures are below 40 and can cause cold water shock. Murdoch says water rescues would also put emergency responders at risk because fog and rain makes visibility difficult.
