00:04:10,160 sewage spill at Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, situated about half a mile north. 49 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,480 The incident, resulting in almost 6,000 gallons of sewage spillage, prompted a warning from 50 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,840 National Park Service officials. 51 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,520 While the coastal trail remains open, the surrounding water areas,

00:04:49,840 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,920 In 1980, at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, a momentous event unfolded in the 58 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,000 world of sports. 59 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,200 The U.S. Olympic hockey team, composed of young, talented college players, faced the 60 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:11,680 formidable Soviet Union team, unbeaten in the Olympics since 1964. 61 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,840 Despite the odds in the Soviets' previous 10-3 victory over the U.S., the American team, 62 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:25,240 under Coach Pearl Brooks, triumphed in a game that came to be known as the Miracle on Ice. 63 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120 This victory was more than just a sports win. 64 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,200 It was a significant morale boost for America, then grappling with the Iran hostage crisis 65 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520 and other political turmoil. 66 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,240 The game symbolized a triumph of determination and spirit, etching itself as a pivotal moment 67 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960 in sports history. 68 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,680 No basketball last night, but in national hockey, the Ducks at home were hit with an 69 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,680 onslaught of goals from the Blue Jackets, losing 7-4. 70 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,360 And tonight, the Kings are on the road to take on the Predators. 71 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Also tonight, the Lakers and the Clippers are back on the court after their all-star 72 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,440 break. 73 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,800 The Lakers are on the road taking on the Warriors, and the Clippers are also on the road to take 74 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,240 on the Thunder. 75 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:23,280 And top news, Nielsen's latest report reveals YouTube as the top TV streaming service in 76 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:30,880 the U.S. for 12 consecutive months, capturing 8.6% of television screen viewing. 77 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,080 Netflix follows closely with just about 8%. 78 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,440 This dominance is further highlighted by viewers consuming over 1 billion hours of YouTube 79 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,320 content daily on TVs. 80 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Particularly, Gen Z shows a strong preference for user-generated content, with 61% favoring 81 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,240 it over traditional TV shows. 82 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,560 YouTube creators are also experiencing a significant increase in TV viewership, with top YouTubers 83 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,400 seeing a more than 400% rise in watch time on TVs. 84 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,360 This trend benefits family-friendly YouTubers, especially considering children's high usage 85 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,800 of TikTok. 86 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,560 While YouTube leads in the living room, TikTok remains dominant on mobile devices, even competing 87 00:07:21,560 -->

00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,720 results that missed estimates. 96 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,980 The Industrial Select Sector and the Spider S&P 500 ETFs continued their upward trend, 97 00:08:15,980 -->

00:08:31,880 government contract. 100 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,920 The sector's top performers showed more than 11% gains each, with 3 out of 5 stocks 101 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280 in the green here-to-date. 102 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,120 The performance of these companies highlights the dynamic nature of the Industrial Sector 103 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640 amidst varying economic conditions. 104 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:58,160 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just under $52,000, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana 105 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,240 is $103. 106 00:09:03,240

00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,720 simplifying the traditional controls. 122 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:24,440 The underlying technology, SkyOS, automates various functions, translating pilot inputs 123 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,600 and environmental conditions into seamless, four-axis flight. 124 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:36,800 Key features include a swipe-to-start procedure, auto-pickup, and set-down

00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Priced at $1.8 million with a $2,500 refundable reservation, the Skyrise One offers advanced 134 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,560 features compared to traditional

00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,880 Stewart's extensive catalog covers his solo career and time, with Faces and the Jeff Beck 144 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080 group. 145 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,440

broader trend, where music catalogs are increasingly viewed 148 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440 as valuable assets. 149 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:45,920 Iconic, joining a competitive market in 2021, focuses on managing and enhancing value in 150 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:52,400 these catalogs, including leveraging opportunities, like Linda Ronstadt's Song Resurgence from 151 00:12:52,400 -->
