    This just in, breaking moments ago, Cuba has suffered an island-wide blackout. This is happening as its fuel reserves dwindle and its electric grid continues to crumble. They say the cause is under investigation. This is the second blackout this year. The country relies on getting 60% of its oil from outside of the country. Cuba only produces, I believe, about 40% of the fuel that it needs. You're talking about 10 million people affected by this. It's obviously affecting the hospitals there and the lives of so many. So we're going to continue monitoring that developing story. Jillian? All right. Thank you, Sandra.
