In local 00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:44.620 news. San Diego County schools are facing significant 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.900 enrollment declines, with 27 ,000 fewer students 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:53.680 compared to a decade ago. Sarah Hillard, a teacher 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.139 at Millennial Tech Middle, notes the drop in 00:03:56.139 --> 00:04:01.500 enrollment from 500 students to 400. This decline, 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.360 about 19%, has led to reduced funding and programs, 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:08.740 forcing schools to scale back plans for new buildings. 00:04:09.710 --> 00:04:12.250 While some districts are experiencing declines, 00:04:12.389 --> 00:04:15.629 others see minor increases, but the overall trend 00:04:15.629 --> 00:04:18.209 reflects changing birth rates and high living 00:04:18.209 --> 00:04:21.910 costs. Projections suggest the county may lose 00:04:21.910 --> 00:04:26.050 an additional 110 ,000 students in the coming 00:04:26.050 --> 00:04:34.670 decades, reshaping public education. Now on to 00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:38.850 sports. Major League Baseball is actively working. 00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:41.889 to resolve the logistics for players to participate 00:04:41.889 --> 00:04:46.649 in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Commissioner 00:04:46.649 --> 00:04:49.250 Rob Manfred stated the league is keen on this 00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:52.290 opportunity to showcase the game on a global 00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:56.509 stage. Tony Clark, director of the Major League 00:04:56.509 --> 00:04:59.589 Baseball Players Association, noted that players 00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:02.649 are enthusiastic about representing Team USA 00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:07.399 or other teams. Currently, only amateur players 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.579 and those not on the 40 -man roster can compete. 00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:14.720 Key challenges include scheduling conflicts and 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.639 insurance concerns, similar to those faced by 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.899 the National Hockey League in past Olympics. 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.759 The Los Angeles Chargers' controversial move 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.220 from San Diego to L .A. remains one of the most 00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:33.279 unpopular sports decisions in recent history. 00:05:34.350 --> 00:05:37.230 However, time has allowed many San Diego sports 00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:40.089 fans to gradually embrace the team once again. 00:05:40.949 --> 00:05:44.750 Evidence of this resurgence is clear as Jim Harbaugh 00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:48.110 is returning the Chargers to San Diego for training 00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:52.189 camp practices. The first practice at the University 00:05:52.189 --> 00:05:55.910 of San Diego sold out quickly, with tickets exclusively 00:05:55.910 --> 00:06:00.089 for military personnel and veterans. While interest 00:06:00.089 --> 00:06:02.509 in the Chargers is evident, healing the wounds 00:06:02.509 --> 00:06:05.110 from their departure will take time. But this 00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:08.089 step is promising for the community and the team's 00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:14.329 legacy. In top news, extreme rainfall has flooded 00:06:14.329 --> 00:06:17.509 much of the United States in recent days, resulting 00:06:17.509 --> 00:06:21.470 in at least 130 fatalities in central Texas. 00:06:22.329 --> 00:06:25.490 Heavy rains have inundated New York subway stations, 00:06:25.790 --> 00:06:28.910 submerged roadways, and caused deadly incidents 00:06:28.910 --> 00:06:33.410 in New Jersey. This July has seen over 1 ,200 00:06:33.410 --> 00:06:36.430 reports of flooding, more than double the average. 00:06:37.810 --> 00:06:40.310 Meteorologists attribute the extreme weather 00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:43.810 to significant atmospheric moisture from unusually 00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:47.930 warm oceans, which is intensifying storms. As 00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:50.730 meteorologists noted, global warming changes 00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:54.370 the odds, making extreme precipitation more likely 00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:58.540 as climate change persists. In business news, 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.839 U .S. inflation has re -accelerated, matching 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.779 expectations but raising concerns.

Despite a record 00:07:32.129 --> 00:07:35.310 close for the Nasdaq composite, thanks to a significant 00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:40.610 jump in Nvidia, other indexes fell. Lastly, several 00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:43.449 cryptocurrency regulation bills backed by Trump 00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:47.569 failed to pass a key hurdle in Congress.

Invented by 00:09:14.460 --> 00:09:18.120 engineer Jim Wong, this device detects and eliminates 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.899 mosquitoes mid -flight. without harming people 00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:25.220 or pets.
