  • today's edition of CNN 10 explains why our American viewers are a little more tired than usual this Monday and how they have a little more evening daylight to look forward to.

  • Carla's first.

  • The Democratic Republic of Congo, a large country in central Africa, is struggling with the second largest outbreak of the Ebola virus.

  • There been more than 900 cases in the DRC since last August.

  • Ebola is highly contagious for people who've had contact with the bodily fluids, like blood of others who've had it.

  • It causes fever, severe headaches, sometimes severe bleeding.

  • And despite the fact that an experimental vaccine is now available, as well as new medications for Ebola patients, 574 people more than half of those who've contracted Ebola and this latest outbreak have died.

  • Ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo only creates another problem for health workers who are trying to stop the spread of the disease.

  • There are dozens of militias in the north eastern DRC where this Ebola outbreak is.

  • Militants attacked a treatment center on Saturday, killing a police officer and wounding a medical worker, and two attacks on Ebola clinics last month forced the aid group Doctors Without Borders to put some of its efforts on hold.

  • Experts say some Congolese don't understand Ebola and don't get treatment for it until it's too late.

  • The New York Times reports that there's sometimes distrust of medical workers and that Congolese don't want people from other countries interfering with local funeral traditions.

  • All of these challenges together makes it more difficult for health officials to contain the disease and help those who have caught it.

  • Still, the outbreak that's killed hundreds in Africa's second largest country is a lot smaller than the one that struck West Africa in 2014.

  • S economy is doing well.

  • How long will it last?

  • Well, there's a saying that bull markets and economic expansions don't die of old age.

  • They don't just stop because they've been going on a long time.

  • But if major stock indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S and P 500 drop 20% or more from their recent highs, we'll be in what's called a bear market.

  • The question of whether that will happen any time soon is something no one knows the answer to Theo.

  • 10th birthday of the current stock market bull run, the longest in history.

  • Ah, bull rally Born on a day when no one was celebrating March 9th 2009 when the Standard and Poor's 500 tanked to 676 wolf.

  • More devastating use for investors down the S and P on Now down a TTE new 12 year lows from recession to recovery.

  • This is what it looks like.

  • The S and P 500 has more than quadrupled history made all along the way.

  • S debt.

  • Ah, budget sequester and then Democratic control, giving way to a GOP hold on Congress and, ultimately, the White House.

  • More recently, this the Trump rally of 40% rise from Election Day, two recent highs, riding a wave of job creation, tax cuts and slashed regulations.

  • And once again, control of the House shifts back to Democrats.

  • The big question.

  • Trade tensions between the U.

  • S.

  • And China had yet to be resolved, and investors are worried about interest rates.
