Democrats and Republicans in Washington are uniting around an unlikely cause: making it easier for daycares to hand out fruit instead of chips. Congress may not agree on much these days, but seeing lawmakers find common ground on the so-called “banana bill” feels oddly heartening.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Hantavirus

At least 17 Americans who were aboard the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship arrived in Nebraska today, where they will be evaluated at a highly specialized quarantine unit. One of the passengers has tested positive for the virus and another has mild symptoms, according to US health officials. Read more.

4⃣ Runway fatality

Denver International Airport is conducting a safety analysis after a person who jumped over a fence onto a runway was struck and killed by a Frontier plane during takeoff on Friday. The fatal incident has highlighted the difficulty of securing a facility twice the size of Manhattan. Read more.

5⃣ World Cup

Excitement is building with just a month to go until the start of the FIFA World Cup, but expensive tickets mean many fans across the US may have to watch from home or elsewhere. Diplomatic tensions and travel costs are also making headlines before a ball has even been kicked. Read more.

(CNN) — American passengers from the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak, including at least one who tested positive, arrived in Nebraska early Monday for evaluation at a highly specialized quarantine unit.

They will eventually continue on to their homes – and weeks of monitoring for symptoms of infection.

The virus, typically associated with rodents, may have passed from human to human aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, according to the World Health Organization. Since April 11, three people from the ship have died while a handful of others are sick.

The plane landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha shortly before 2:30 a.m. local time. Seventeen US citizens and one British national who lives in the US were on the flight, Spanish Health Minister Mónica García said.

Here’s what we know about the passengers’ journey back to the United States and what will happen next:

Presumed positive US case

One of the Americans has tested “mildly” positive for the virus and another has mild symptoms, the US Department of Health and Human Services said late Sunday. Both traveled in biocontainment units on the plane “out of an abundance of caution,” HHS said in a post on X.

The passenger who tested positive does not have symptoms but will be taken directly to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the facility said late Sunday. The other passengers will go to the center’s National Quarantine Unit for assessment and monitoring.

The Spanish Ministry of Health said the positive test came after an official from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control boarded the ship to evaluate passengers.

“A diagnostic test was carried out and sent to two laboratories; in one of them, the result was considered by the U.S. authorities to be a weak positive, although for us it was not conclusive. The second test result was negative,” a statement from the health ministry said.

The passenger did not show symptoms while in Cape Verde, Spanish officials said. Even so, US authorities chose to treat the case as positive out of caution, the statement said.

The American reported to have symptoms without testing positive “developed a mild cough on May 6, which resolved after that day,” the Spanish officials said.

Staff from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been monitoring the passengers since they disembarked in Tenerife, according to a CDC official.

CNN has reached out to HHS for more information on the passengers.

(CNN) — Chris Bambury’s family has been selling gas in Sonoma Valley, California, for more than 100 years, but never at prices like this.

The price at his two stations was $6.29 for a gallon of regular gas last week, which is actually cheap for his part of California — AAA put the average price in his county at $6.36.

Gas station owners are struggling with rising gas prices just as much as their customers. The overwhelming majority of gas stations are small businesses — not the big oil companies whose brands they sell — and the rise in the wholesale gas price they pay has cut deeply into their already thin profit margins.

Wholesale gas prices aren’t the only rising cost putting the squeeze on station owners. Credit card fees and delivery charges for fuel are both higher than earlier this year. Labor costs are still up from the last gas spike in 2022.

Bambury’s great-grandfather, August Bonneau, started selling gas back in 1922, before there were even paved roads in his part of California. Bambury started in the family business as a teenager doing entry-level jobs — such as pumping gas and cleaning bathrooms. Today, he has 37 employees between the two stores and a third location that doesn’t sell gas.

However, to remember a time when gas was a lot cheaper, Bambury only has to think back to before the war in Iran started in late February. He was selling gas for $4.79.

“We don’t want to move up (prices too fast) and drive customers away,” he said. “We always prefer prices to be lower. The market thrives better. Our customers are happier.”

But for the most part, customers haven’t blamed him or his staff for the prices.

“They hear all about the war and the Strait of Hormuz,” he said.

But as much as he wants to keep prices low, Bambury needs to make at least a profit on gas sales.

“We can’t survive losing on fuel (sales),” he said.

Across the country, another gas station owner told CNN he is considering shutting down his fuel sales.

Harry Singh has owned a gas station in Nutley, New Jersey, since 2009, but now he’s thinking of closing up and just keeping open the attached car repair garage.

“If (prices) stay like this another two or three months, I’m going to start losing money (on fuel sales),” he said.

While his station sells below the local market price, he said he is losing customers to a nearby Costco that sells gas for even cheaper. Even his regular customers aren’t buying as much as before the Iran war.

“They used to fill it up, now they say give me $20, $30,” he said.

The average gap between wholesale and retail prices is about 22 cents a gallon, according to Jeff Lenard, spokesperson for the National Association for Convenience Stores. Those stores sell about 80% of fuel nationwide.

That might sound healthy, but that 22 cents have to cover all the other costs, so a station owner is only likely to break-even, Lenard said. The average gross margin over the last five years was 38.3 cents a gallon.

“There are likely many members losing money on fuel sales currently, and others making only a few cents a gallon,” Lenard said.

Even once wholesale gas prices start to fall, it can take some time for retail prices to follow, Lenard said. That’s because owners will need to lower prices slowly to recoup the profits lost during the run up in prices.

Bambury said even when they learn of falling wholesale prices, station owners paid more for the gas they have on hand. That delays how fast they can cut their retail prices even when they start to see some relief on wholesale prices.

In Minneapolis, gas station owner Lonnie McQuirter saw a decline in sales when increased enforcement by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city caused a drop in driving. That caused a major hit to his bottom line.

(CNN) — It’s now just one month until the first game of this summer’s FIFA World Cup kicks off, and there is plenty to talk about already.

From diplomatic tensions to ticket pricing and travel costs, the tournament has been creating headlines before a ball has even been kicked, and that level of interest is only set to increase as we get closer to the opening game between Mexico and South Africa on June 11.

To help you make sense of everything that’s been happening both on and off the pitch, CNN Sports takes a look at the five things you need to know.

1. Ticket prices

This World Cup has already been no stranger to controversy, and perhaps the biggest so far is the cost associated with attending it.

Ticket prices for the matches have soared to new heights, deterring many fans from watching their teams play across North America.

The cheapest seats for the USA’s opening against Paraguay on June 12 are now costing over $1,000 each. Those prices soar even higher for the bigger matches, with tickets for the final now fetching up to $32,970.

Even President Donald Trump scoffed at some of the costs, telling the New York Post that “I wouldn’t pay it either, to be honest,” in reference to the four-figure price for USMNT tickets.

If you think those prices are already eye-watering enough, wait until you see the resale prices. FIFA has created a platform for ticket holders to resell seats for as much as people deem fit. The governing body doesn’t set the prices, but does take a 15% cut from both the buyer and seller.

These tickets are going for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars. One ticket holder for the final is even reselling his seat, which is right at the back of the stadium, for over $11 million.

And while no one is realistically expecting anyone to buy that, it points to just how inaccessible these prices are for most normal fans around the world.

FIFA has consistently defended its pricing structure, saying it offered tickets starting at $60 for every match, including the final, which were allocated specifically to supporters of qualified teams through their respective national associations.

It also says that, as a non-profit organization, revenue is invested straight back into the game of soccer.

“We have to look at the market. We are in a market in which entertainment is the most developed in the world, so we have to apply market rates,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino recently said at the Milken Institute Global Conference in California.

“In the US, it is permitted to resell tickets, as well, so if you were to sell tickets at the price which is too low, these tickets will be resold at a much higher price. And as a matter of fact, even though some people are saying that the ticket prices we have are high, they still end up on the resale market at an even higher price, more than double of our price.”

But when the cost of flights, traveling to games and hotels are all factored in, this year’s tournament is just not possible for so many people. And prices over the next month are only likely to get higher as demand increases.

2. Iran’s participation

Another major storyline in the buildup to this year’s World Cup has been the situation in Iran, and how it might impact the nation’s participation at the tournament.

In the immediate aftermath of the war beginning, there was rhetoric from Iran that there could be no way in which its players could safely travel and participate in the games.

The situation

(CNN) — Denver International Airport is conducting a safety analysis after a person who jumped over a fence into a runway was struck and killed by a plane during takeoff late Friday.

The fatal incident has drawn scrutiny to the airport’s security protocols – and highlighted the challenges of securing a facility twice the size of Manhattan.

The pedestrian, who has not been identified, was killed just two minutes after they jumped a perimeter fence and crossed a runway at the airport. The pilots of the Frontier Airlines Airbus, which was headed to Los Angeles, quickly aborted takeoff. Twelve people were injured during the incident.

Surveillance video taken before the collision shows a blurry figure – tiny in comparison to the jet and the expanse of land around them – standing on the runway.

Then the figure is overtaken by the plane, engulfed in flames.

“We’re stopping on the runway,” a pilot said, according to audio from ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”

The airport said it would “perform an incident analysis and after action in the coming days which will include reviewing the ongoing investigation, including our perimeter security program.”

There are 36 miles of perimeter fence at the airport, according to its statement, and staff perform continuous inspections.

Denver International Airport is the nation’s third busiest by passengers, behind only Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth.

And it’s massive: At 53 square miles, the airport is larger than San Francisco, according to its website.

That makes securing its facilities a challenge, according to experts.

“The more expansive the land area of an airport, the more perimeter to defend, the more remote areas, and the more complex terrain, all of which provide more opportunities for unauthorized entry,” explained William Rankin, an adjunct professor at Florida Institute of Technology who researches airport management and safety.

Still, pedestrian incursions are extremely rare, Rankin said. Publicly available data shows there are just a handful of pedestrian incursions – between zero to five – each year on average, he said.

Fatal pedestrian-aircraft collisions like Friday night’s are even rarer, happening less than once per year on average, he said.

The incident “was an extremely rare event and should not make the public less confident in the security of the major US airports,” Rankin said.

Past security breaches

As rare as pedestrian incursions are, this isn’t the first time someone has breached a perimeter fence at the Denver airport.

Eight people – including both pedestrians and drivers – breached the fence between 2004 and 2015, an investigation by The Associated Press found.

At the time, an airport spokesperson said, “We believe many folks do not realize they are even on airport property — it looks like farmland and a breach may be miles and miles away from a runway or the terminal.”

The AP found 268 perimeter breaches across the country during the same period. They span from intentional stowaways to seemingly accidental trespassing. The Denver incidents included a drunk 28-year-old who drove through a perimeter fence and a man who climbed the fence and said he was on his way to work, according to the Denver Post.
