Dan Novak and Ashley Thompson host today's Learning English show. 00:58 First: The United State is restricting the movement of cows raised for their milk due to concerns about the spread of bird flu. The virus called Type A H5N1 has been found in over 30 different groups of cows across eight states. Dan Friedell and Ashley Thompson report. 07:09 Then: Mario Ritter has a story about a lucky American immigrant. The Laos-born man just won more than one billion dollars on a game of chance. 12:38 Next: The LE Education Report. Victor D.O. Santos is a children’s author, educator and linguist. He has a new book about the value of language as a construct and idea. The author hopes the work will bring more attention to native languages, many of which are dying. Dan Novak interviewed Santos and reports on his book, What Makes US Human. Then, Dan joins Ashley in the studio. She asks him for more details about the author and about UNESCO's involvement in the book. 20:27 Finally: It is time for LE's Lesson of the Day. John Russell bases his instruction on a report from Gregory Stachel about AI deepfakes. The word to listen for in today's program is "context." Dan and Ashley close the show.
