We hope you enjoyed the

Labor Day holiday. It you`re just now starting to watch CNN 10, we welcome you and thank

you for taking time to hear objective explanations of what`s

going on in the world. In the South American nation of Brazil, history has been lost. A

fire started Sunday evening at the country`s National Museum.

And though firefighters worked throughout the night to try to stop it, you can see from

this video while one museum official says very little will be

left.

No serious injuries were reported and authorities don`t know yet what caused the fire or how

many artifacts were destroyed. But observers expect

that most of them were probably burned. This building itself is historic. It used to be

the home of a Portuguese royal family. It was converted into

a museum 200 years ago and since then it`s collected 20 million artifacts that date back

thousands of years. It houses everything from the oldest

human remains ever identified as being from Brazil to the largest meteorite ever found

in Brazil. The National Museum is known around the world for

it`s priceless collection and it`s research.

And while a Brazilian government official says he wants fire preparedness to be evaluated

at every other museum in the country to try to avoid this

anywhere else. The nation`s President says, the loss of artifacts at the National Museum

is insurmountable for Brazil.

10 Second Trivia. Which of these landmarks in Washington, D.C. was completed in 1935?

Washington Monument, Supreme Court Building, Lincoln

Memorial or National Portrait Gallery. The building of the nation`s highest court was

completed in 1935. Before that, the Court had no

permanent home of it`s own and met in various other places.

Following the Labor Day holiday, as people across America go back to work and school

one task ahead of the U.S. Senate is holding confirmation

hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Those start today. Kavanaugh is a U.S. Court of

Appeals Judge. He`s also President Trump`s choice to join

the Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh would replace Justice Anthony Kennedy who retired from the

High Court earlier this year. President`s can`t

directly appoint Supreme Court Justices. They have to nominate them and the Senate gives

advice and consent, a phrase from the U.S. Constitution by

holding hearings and then voting on whether it approves the President`s choice.

Judge Kavanaugh is President Trump`s second nominee to the High Court. His first was confirmed

in April of last year when Justice Neil Gorsuch

completed the process to replace Justice Antonin Scalia who died the year before. There`s been

a largely partisan fight over whether Judge Kavanaugh

should be confirmed to the High Court. Most Republicans appear to support his nomination.

Most Democrats appear to oppose it and as Jeff Tuban

explains, the political divide over Presidential Supreme Court Nominees is nothing new.

Federal judges including Supreme Court Justices serve for life. That`s why President`s regard

these judicial

appointments as such an important way to extend their own legacies. The Constitution does

not set out a resume that a Supreme Court Justice has to

have. There`s no requirement in the Constitution that a Supreme Court Justice even be a lawyer

but traditionally President`s have nominated

impeccably qualified sitting judges.

Both Presidents and Senators like to say that the confirmation process is all about qualifications

but it`s really also about politics. Virtually

every important issue in American politics and even American life winds up in front of

the Supreme Court and they have the last word. Both the

President and the Senators trying to figure out how the nominee stands on the hot button

issues that the Supreme Court deals with. And that`s why

the Senators will vote yes or no.

Water fountains have been shut out at all public schools in Detroit, Michigan. The reason,

recent testing from fountains or sinks at

24 schools in the district found that water in 16 of them had unacceptably high levels

of copper, lead or both. These metals can get into drinking

water when plumbing pipes that are made from them corrode. And it`s significant because

high level of copper and lead can cause a range of

health problems. They`ve been linked from everything from liver and kidney disease to

developmental delays and behavioral disorders.

There are more than 100 public schools in Detroit. They serve more than 47,000 students

and they still have water to drink it just comes from

bottles and coolers that officials have brought in. Water quality problems have been found

at 34 Detroit schools in total and tests are still being

carried out at 50 other schools. Detroit`s Water Department says the schools old plumbing

systems are responsible and that the water problems do

not extend to other parts of the city.

It also says there are no lead pipes that connect the schools plumbing so what might

have caused the high levels of lead and copper officials haven`t

said yet. Detroit isn`t the only part of Michigan to deal with water problems though. A long

term crisis in the city of Flint, about an hours

drive northwest of Detroit involved dangerously high levels of lead.

Facing down their challenges. Keeping their chin up when things don`t look good. Reaching

out to help others or help inspire them. These are some of

the attributes of a positive athlete and Haley Johnson seems to have all of them. The Wisconsin

soccer player is a great addition to our new series on

"Stand Out Young Athletes from Across America".

Soccer`s like the one thing I love doing. Like if I have a bad day I want to go play

soccer. I`m bored.

I want to go play soccer.

Her high school career has been a just - - just a rollercoaster. I think coming in as a Freshman,

you don`t know what to

expect and I think she put out - - she has just a phenomenal year.

And then we go into her Junior year, (inaudible) say hey, things aren`t going like I wanted

to. I can`t catch my breath.

I was really struggling. I was finishing last in sprints. It`s not normal. I think there`s

something wrong.

We took her for testing. When the doctor put up the x-ray she showed us the white mass

on the x-ray. The doctor, you know,

wanted to slow us down but that cancer was one of the - - one of the things they were

trying to rule out at that time.

I was very scared when I heard that word. Shocked. Yes, I did not know what to do.

It was probably one of the longest five hours of your life. Because you`re almost like - - you`re

thinking the worst case

scenario. I try not to - - get emotional.

I`ve never seen my dad like really scared, but you could tell he was like - - extremely

scared. They were worried. They told me that it

was benign. So that was like the biggest relief.

And then they tell you, hey it`s good news. We can do surgery on this. It`s not cancer

and all of a sudden it`s like, surgery,

hey it`s a great thing.

She had the surgery on Tuesday, came home on Friday. I mean, less than a week after

having the tumor and her chest cracked, she`s

at our practice to support her teammates. That`s the kind of kid she is.

I always wanted to be up and doing stuff. So, I mean, I can walk, right? Why not take

a ball with me, so I was just walk around the

neighborhood with the ball.

My neighbor came up to me and said hey, you know I saw Haley out jogging around the block

dribbling. And right away, I mean, this

is like, just like, two weeks after the surgery and I know she was driven and right away,

I`m like, wait, what?

Literally six weeks after the surgery, she was out on the field for us and playing.

I can remember that first game back and she actually scored the first goal for her team.

She was asked to speak at her

elementary school. She took a very difficult situation and tried to give back and help

others.

I`ve learned that you can`t control what happens to you but you can control how you react to

it.

She did something that - - she`s just amazing. And I`m just incredibly proud of her and I

can`t wait to see everything else she`s

going to do with that driven behavior and attitude.

I learned so much working on this show. For instance in Utah, this is how the Division

of Wildlife Resources stocks high mountain lakes

with fish. They put them on a plane, fly low over the lakes and drop them in. More than

200 lakes are stocked this way each year. Officials say at

least 95 percent of the fish survive the drop because they`re so small that they fall to

the lakes like leaves. They also say this is better than the

old fashioned way of putting fish in metal milk cans and using cars and horses to get

to the lakes.

I bet the first time this was proposed it was like "bait" for skeptics. You can hear

someone "casting" the idea and another giving "biting"

criticism like yeah, right when fish "fly". But considering the "scales" of the operation

now that it`s in the "swim" of things, what`s not to

"lake". And make sure they`re fully stocked and it "stocks" up another edition of CNN
