00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,880 according to scientists. 105 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:52,520 GPS data showed these eagles migrating from Greece and South Sudan to Belarus deviated 106 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,520 from their usual paths to avoid the conflict zones, resulting in longer journeys and fewer 107 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000 stops for refueling. 108 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,040 This disruption may affect their breeding performance, raising concerns about this species 109 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 conservation. 110 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,820 Researchers from the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the British Trust for Ornithology 111 00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:18,000 reported these findings in the publication called Current Biology. 112 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,640 And in entertainment news, Furiosa, a Mad Max saga, is an action-packed prequel to Mad 113 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640 Max, Fury Road. 114 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Directed by George Miller, it stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, revealing her backstory from a 115 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:41,800 young girl to a warrior queen. 116 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:48,600 Chris Hemsworth plays the villain Dementus in this visually stunning dystopian tale. 117 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:55,000 While it lacks the relentless pace of Fury Road, Furiosa offers thrilling action sequences 118 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,040 and strong performances, making it a worthy, albeit conventional, addition to the Mad Max 119 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,040 franchise. 120 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Well, alrighty

Bird. 123 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,080 He said, 124 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Leadership is getting players to believe in you. 125 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,940 If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better 126 00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:27,680 go out there and do it. 127 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:32,280 Players will see right through a phony, and they can tell when you're not giving it all 128 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800 you've got. 129 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,400 And that's a wrap for this morning. 130 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,520 You can check
