too all right let's start today with the
latest news on politics in the US the
Democratic National Convention kicks off
today in Chicago Illinois and lasts
through Thursday also known as the DNC
the convention is where the Democratic
party comes together to officially
nominate their candidate for president
of the United States this year that
candidate will be current vice president
kamla Harris Harris entered the race
after current President Joe Biden
decided not to seek reelection following
pressure from within his own party over
concerns about his age and health
President Biden is expected to pass the
torch so to speak to vice president
Harris during his opening speech on
Monday now for their part the Republican
Party held its National Convention in
Milwaukee back back in July where they
officially nominated former president
Donald Trump as their candidate this
year security has been an increased
focused for convention organizers in
Chicago Law Enforcement will be in the
air on the ground and in the water
protesters are expected during the DNC
in response to war in the Middle East in
security is extra tight after an
assassination attempt on former
president Trump just earlier this summer
these conventions happen every four
years just a few months before the
presidential election at the convention
Party leaders delegates and members
gather to set the party's platform their
stances on major issues like Health Care
the economy and climate change it's also
a time for speeches from Key party
figures rallying support and excitement
for the campaign ahead these events are
key moments in the race for the White
House setting the stage for the final
push to Election Day November 5th of
this year
10 second trivia which of these national
parks is the largest Wetland ecosystem
in the US Badlands Everglades Joshua
Tree or Glacier
Bay sitting at 1.5 million Acres at the
southern tip of Florida the Everglades
is your answer here we head now to the
Florida Everglades where this weekend
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission hosted its
annual competition to draw attention to
the threats of invasive species to the
local ecology specifically focused on
burmes pythons not native to Florida
they've slithered their way into the
Everglades ecosystem and are putting a
serious strain on the local Wildlife to
tackle this issue people in Florida
participate in the Python Challenge
where both amateurs and Pros compete for
the thrill of the hunt and a cash prize
supporters of this event celebrate the
conservation efforts aimed at protecting
the natural habitat though some animal
rights organizations have raised
concerns about the methods used by some
participants this year marks the 11th
edition of the event and CNN
correspondent Carlos Suarez has all of
the details on these enormous snakes how
they got there and the effort it takes
to capture them looking for snakes yeah
but no luck welcome to how it
is these snakes are very powerful in the
humid sweltering summer deep in the
Florida Everglade The Hunt is on for the
burmes python so we're looking at about
30 lb and about 9 ft sounds about right
one of the larger ones I say this is on
average of what you're going to find out
there experts we spoke to have seen
snakes as long as 19 ft weighing 125 lbs
the invasive species of snakes have few
natural predators and are known to
consume prey as large as
aligators for 10 days this month Hunters
on trucks equipped with flood lights
drive into the night their eyes trained
on the flooded grassland for the
slightest sign of a snake typically
you'll see like a little blue hue to it
on it um but most of the time you're
just looking for that breakup in the
pattern a lot of the times you'll just
get just a little piece of a tail
sticking out from behind a tree or
something and you stop these things are
very very camouflaged just relax despite
that Cody Quinton captured a 10-ft
python last year it's saw part of
Florida's annual Python Challenge where
amateurs and professionals seek the
thrill of a capture and cash prizes the
hunter who catches the most burmes
pythons can take home
$10,000 the snakes first showed up in
Florida in 1979 brought here as pets and
likely released into the Wild by owners
when the snakes grew too big to keep
they aren't picky eaters small mammals
and birds are among their favorite meals
according to the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation commission since
2000 more than 21,000 burmes pythons
have been captured and killed but
experts estimate tens of thousands of
them are still thriving and threatening
the Everglades ecosystem and Wildlife
officials say the area has seen a
decrease in the number of small mammals
like raccoons and rabbits as a result
the challenge is intended to help solve
that problem all right if you follow me
on social media you may know that I just
got back from Paris covering the Summer
Olympics and I was able to catch up with
some of the biggest stars of the games
and we're going to be sharing some of
their stories with you all week long
including that of the greatest gymnast
of all time Simone biles she's now
racked up seven Olympic gold medals 11
medals in all Simone shared why this
year was so special for her and how she
navigates not just her breathtaking
flips in the air but also the twists and
turns of
Life why were these games so important
to you well it was important to me
because nobody forced me to be out there
on that stage I solely did it for myself
and I'm in a really good spot mentally
and physically so doing this for just me
and in the world and you overcame a lot
to get here we all know that did did you
feel any of those demons start to come
creeping in the mind again and if so
like how'd you deal with him yes I dealt
with him in therapy obviously you always
have those thoughts coming in the back
of your head but just trying to stay as
positive as possible going back to what
I know thinking about my therapy tactics
and it worked that's so important yes u
i IC moment the podium bowing down to
Rebecca there young girls out there
today are getting torn apart left and
right torn down how poor was it for you
to show the world this okay to adjust
each other's crowns no absolutely I
think it was really important for that
moment obviously it was just me and
Jordan being me and Jordan but I know it
was really special and it was very
impactful for kids to see that um you
win with Grace you lose with Grace yeah
now this an iconic moment out this games
in my opinion was when you pla back of
some people talking about your
appearance and young girls deal with
that all the time to stress that to fit
in what is your message to those young
girls out there who might be feeling
like they're not enough they're not
fitting in you guys are beautiful
confident you guys are so smart stand in
your power believe in yourself and you
guys are going to be just fine and I'll
be here to support you every step of the
way I know it's hard but you guys are
going to do it and you're going to do
big things what would you say your
spirit animal is or your spirit
character that switch the flips uh when
you have to go out there and dominate
and that thing has allowed you to win 11
Olympic medals
okay so I think mine would actually be a
honey badger like honey badger in the
gym sloth
outside slothy Simone I think you need a
new chain now that was pretty dope than
