[0:05] break for exhausted firefighters as the

[0:08] wind lets up. But the battle is not

[0:11] over. Tiny but potentially deadly. The

[0:15] mosquito-born virus spreading faster and

[0:18] farther than expected. And in Paris, the

[0:22] amazing Lance Armstrong wins his third

[0:25] straight victory at the Tour to France.
