Well, firefighters, battling a raging wildfire in Florida's Everglades, now have about a third of it contained. But just look at that! We are concerned here about the protective species of bird as well whose only home is in the Glades(先说的是glade,然后用rather改成glades). 36, 000 acres of the wetlands have burnt already. The fire has sent a haze of smoke across parts of South Florida.

Iron Man slumped to second following to the Sword, I guess. But they will both likely give way to Indiana Jones by next weekend. The archaeologist and adventurer returns to U. S. silver screen Thursday in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" after his decades. Can he still walk?

Those are the headlines at this hour. Stay with CNN for more on these stories and the other news of the day.
