Spring just hits different.
One day, cold mud.
The next, warm sunshine.
But the hardworking men and women in Carhartt don't wait for the forecast to get to work.
Hatching roads, clearing trails, planting crops.
Their hands turn this season's uncertainty into possibility.
So get out there.
Spring into action.
We've got you covered for whatever the season throws your way.
Carhartt.
Made possible.
Good morning, everyone.
I'm Kate Baldwin.
It's Monday, May 11th.
Here are your five things.
Number one, the cruise passengers.
The cruise ship being tracked by the world right now is now docked, and the passengers who have been stranded on board are finally getting off after more than a month.
They're from all over the world, and they are headed home.
And now there's news that one of the Americans who was on that ship has tested positive for the hantavirus and another is showing what's being described as mild symptoms.
Those two traveled back to the US in biocontainment units.
In total, 17 Americans and a British national who lives in the US were on that same flight.
They landed in Nebraska this morning.
Reason being the University of Nebraska Medical Center is home to a highly specialized national quarantine unit.
The cruise passengers will now be assessed in rooms with negative air pressure systems specifically designed to contain the spread of any possible viruses.
The director of the National Institutes of Health, who is also the acting CDC director right now, gave an update to CNN yesterday saying asymptomatic passengers may be given the option to head home and be monitored from there for the next 42 days.
This is not COVID, Jake, and we don't want to treat it like COVID.
We don't want to cause a public panic over this.
We want to treat it with a hantavirus protocols that again were successful in containing outbreaks in the past.
The health minister of France says that a French passenger has also tested positive and is being treated at another specialized hospital.
The final two evacuation flights will leave Spain today, taking passengers home to Australia and the Netherlands.
Number two, the Naan deal.
President Trump says that he is rejecting Iran's latest offer.
It's technically Iran's response offer to Trump's latest offer.
Trump writing this, I have just read the response from Iran's so-called representatives.
I don't like it.
Totally unacceptable.
So now what?
That is totally unclear.
Iran says it delivered the proposal through Pakistani media mediators Sunday morning.
Iranian state media says that the counterproposal called for recognition of sovereignty over the blockaded Strait of Hormuz and called for compensating Iran for war damages and also further unfreezing of Iranian assets and foreign banks.
No mention though, of the country's nuclear program, an issue on which President Trump has said that he is now setting a hard line on.
The Israeli prime minister is also speaking out, telling 60 Minutes, in a new interview, then in his view, the war is far from over.
There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled.
There are still proxies that Iran supports.
There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce.
Now, we've degraded a lot of it, but all of that is still there, and there's work to be done.
Number three, the reunion.
A Mexican couple who spent the last few weeks in DHS detention was finally released in time to see their son for one final day before he died of cancer.
Oh my goodness.
18-year-old Kevin Gonzalez, he was born in the United States, but he was raised in Mexico.
He got sick while visiting family in Chicago over Christmas and was then diagnosed with stage four colon cancer.
His parents, desperate to see him, tried to reenter the United States illegally and were then arrested in Arizona on April 14th.
DHS had denied them temporary non-immigrant visas, saying that they both had previously been deported from the US.
A judge ordered them then to be released and deported back to Mexico last week.
Their son had already discontinued his treatment by that time and had been flown back to Mexico hoping to be able to see them one last time.
And this weekend, that is exactly what happened.
The family back together for his final hours.
We arrived.
I humbled myself before him and kissed his feet and hugged him.
He was very happy.
He smiled again.
His face changed.
His expression changed.
There was so much joy in him.
God, that is heartbreaking.
My God.
Number four, the holiday travel.
The one predictable thing in these unpredictable times appears to be gas prices, specifically that gas prices are going up.
But with the unofficial kickoff to summer just around the corner, something funny is happening.
Skyrocketing gas prices are not stopping people from hitting the road.
Overnight, AAA released its travel forecast, and they estimate that 45 million people will go at least 50 miles from home between Thursday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend.
Travel inside the United States is expected to set a new record.
More than 39 million people driving and more than three and a half million people flying.
AAA says people who booked flights early actually paid less for tickets this year than last, but high fuel costs mean that you are very, very likely out of luck if you did not book far in advance in terms of the ticket pricing.
On the roads, the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.52.
That's up $1.38 from this time last year.
And here is where people are headed most.
According to AAA Orlando Seattle, New York, Las Vegas and Miami are the top five domestic destinations for Memorial Day this year.
Internationally, it is Rome, Vancouver, Paris, London, and Athens.

One last thing.
If you were of a certain age, you probably almost feel like you yourself grew up in the Brady Bunch household.
Now you have a chance to actually hang in the actual iconic TV home itself.
Immortalized in the 1970s sitcom about a blended family.
Starting today, the home that was Once only used for the exterior shots of the Brady Bunch house well, it begins its first public tours.
The home that gave us Marsha Marsha Marsha has been now renovated with all sorts of nostalgic details to recreate the Brady Bunch vibes and bring the groovy interiors to life.
The inside now looks just like the set from the hit show, including the iconic staircase, the orange kitchen countertops, the bunk rooms for the kids, seeing as Natasha Chen got a chance to tour it with none other than Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady.
And he pointed out one thing that you'll see in the tour that you never saw in the show.
You couldn't show a toilet before nine o'clock.
We were on at 7.30 and eight o'clock.
So toilets were not allowed.
Not someone on the toilet, but the toilet itself.
Just seeing the toilet.
You couldn't see the toilet.
So our bathroom never had a toilet.
Tickets for the Brady Experience are about $300.
The money goes to Wags and Walks, a Los Angeles pet rescue.
Tours are running only until July 17th.
I'm Kate Baldwin.
Those are the five things you need to know to get your day going.
No get going.
I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy.
This week on the podcast, Terms of Service.
What do we know about how much AI is contributing to energy consumption, energy demand right now?
And how does that compare with other industries?
The best resource for that is the International Energy Agency, which is sort of the global energy think tank that collects data on all of this.
And what they predict is that about 8 of the additional electricity that we're going to need by 2030 that will be for data centers.
The other 92% is for other things, industry electrification, electric vehicles, solar.
And AI is really only driving part of that increase in demand.
Listen to CNN's Terms of Service wherever you get your podcasts.
