Welcome to World News. Tonight, worldwide warning. Authorities say a global swine flu pandemic is imminent. The US records its first death. New cases are confirmed in 10 states. And schools in many areas shut down as infections spread. Charting change. What has the man who promised so much change really changed in his first hundred days? On the brink? Negotiations go down to the wire with Chrysler’s future hanging in the balance. And boom town. The place that has so much good fortune, there are not enough people to share it. From ABC News headquarters, this is world News with Charles Gibson.

 

On the broadcast tonight, worldwide alert. The first death from swine flu here in the US as tonight the World Health Organization says a pandemic is imminent. Also tonight, we travel to the Mexican village where all this may have started. Healthy choices. Practical information to avoid getting sick in the first place. One hundred days. President Obama marks a milestone and gives himself a report card. And transformation. From Chicago executive and mom to first lady, Michelle Obama setting a new standard. Plus a letter written during World War Two that finally gets where it’s supposed to go. Nightly News begins now. From NBC News world headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

 

Good evening. The World Health Organization says we should go on calling it the swine flu. Federal officials call it H1N1, but it has now clamed its first American life. There are confirmed cases now in 11 US states and in 9 separate nations. The World Health Organization alert level is now a PHASE 5 out of 6, a quote strong signal that a pandemic is imminent. It is against that backdrop that we begin our coverage tonight from the US to Mexico with our chief science correspondent Robert Bazel. Bob, good evening. Good evening, Brain. For several years, US and international agencies have been preparing for the possibility of an influenza pandemic. Tonight we can say this is no longer a test.

In Mexico, tracking the source of this new strain of swine flu has led health officials to a tiny mountain village. Our own Michelle Kaczynski made the long trip to La Gloria for some revealing conversations with the people there and one little boy now at the center of this medical mystery.

 

To say La Gloria is a difficult town to get to is an understatement. But five bumpy dusty hours southeast of Mexico City, young Egger Honendouz ran outside to greet us. Happy to chat about the flu he had almost a month ago and becoming aware of the global attention now focused on his tiny farming village.
