Uproar at Kentucky Derby as horse that crossed finish line first gets disqualified

 History was made at the 145th Kentucky Derby after the first horse to cross the finish line was disqualified. The race ended in shock and controversy after Maximum Security was accused of interference, and Country Horse was declared the winner.

 Maximum Security’s owner, Gary West, says he is going to appeal the horse's disqualification. West says he and his wife experienced a range of emotions when their horse went from being on top, to being ruled out.

Chapter 6

More than one million species of plants and animals are facing extinction, because of humans

 More than one million species of plants and animals are facing extinction.

 A report released at a United Nations meeting in Paris says that is all because of humans, and that it's not too late to fix the problem.

 The report's 39-page summary highlighted five ways people are reducing biodiversity, including developing forests, grasslands and other areas, overfishing the world's oceans, and polluting land and water.

 It says fighting climate change and saving species are equally important, and working on both environmental problems should go hand in hand.
