being overly cautious, particularly when it comes to air travel. we re learning about what into the decision by the cdc. joining me now is jeremy diamond at the house with much more on this. what are you learning? reporter: well it appears that the cdc did consider the possibility of changing these travel restrictions, but ultimately decided not to do that. two federal health officials telling kaitlan collins that the possibility of changing travel recommendations was discussed but there was never really any real momentum behind the idea of changing those travel restrictions right now. but right now really is the operative word here because these are interim guidelines by the cdc. and the cdc director rashiel walensky made that very clear yesterday as she announced the new guidelines. we saw new guidelines here in terms of how individuals who have been vaccinated could interact with one another as well as others in low risk settings in terms of removing masks but they did n

kill her and her sons had bugging devices on her watches and he convinced her indirectly to get rid of her protection officers which indirectly led to her death, because if she had her public protection, that car crash wouldn t have happened, and that is why harry and william are so furious about it, and they have every right to be. not only was martin bashear s behavior despicable, the bbc then covered it up. they knew that he had lied and they covered it up. it is a very, very damaging story. 25 years later, but so important that this revelation came out at this point. thank you very much. i thought i knew everything about that story but you have taught me a great deal. coming up, sex-craved salt shakers of death, that s how some experts are describing the cicadas about to wreak havoc across the state. they re not that bad. come on. how climate change is affecting the so-called brood 10
