In local 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.680 news, the city of San Diego is introducing a 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.680 special event parking zone. around Petco Park, 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.279 set to begin on September 1st. During major events, 00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:22.959 parking meters will cost $10 per hour, a substantial 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.459 increase from the standard $2 per hour. This 00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:29.639 change comes after the City Council approved 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.339 new regulations to adjust fees and increase parking 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:36.779 enforcement. Special event rates will begin two 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:39.939 hours before events with over 10 ,000 attendees 00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:44.500 and remain in effect for four hours after. The 00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:47.120 Padres organization expressed concerns over the 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.220 significant increase, highlighting the lack of 00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:59.480 stakeholder input. Now on to sports. The New 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.379 York Yankees are facing a critical decision regarding 00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:05.899 Aaron Judge as the team struggles in the American 00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:09.819 League East standings. Judge, who has been sidelined 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.379 with an elbow injury, was batting an impressive 00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:18.420 .342 with 37 home runs before his injury. Although 00:05:18.420 --> 00:05:21.240 he is on track to return soon, rushing him back 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.819 could jeopardize his recovery and the team's 00:05:23.819 --> 00:05:27.920 playoff hopes. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.500 not clarified how Judge will fit into the lineup, 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.079 given Giancarlo Stanton's recent success. Fans 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.480 may want to reconsider purchasing playoff tickets 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:42.560 if the situation does not improve.

Analysts from 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.500 Berenberg highlighted that this exciting discovery 00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:09.959 could provide BP with a much -needed high -quality 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.279 growth asset. The company holds a 100 % interest 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.279 in the block, managed on very good commercial 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.180 terms with Brazil's pre -sale petroleo. In business 00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:27.370 news… In Atlanta, Leland Strange, the 84 -year 00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:31.069 -old CEO of CoreCard, faces uncertainty as his 00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:33.670 company risks losing its significant client, 00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:37.250 Apple, due to Goldman Sachs' faltering credit 00:07:37.250 --> 00:07:40.589 card venture. CoreCard, known for its unique 00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:43.389 features like billing on the first of each month, 00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:46.949 is now in talks with JPMorgan Chase, which could 00:07:46.949 --> 00:07:51.139 take over the card's issuance. Strange, who founded 00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:55.180 CoreCard with a $100 ,000 investment, is preparing 00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:59.379 for a potential change. Meanwhile, Uranet Worldwide 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:01.980 announced plans to acquire CoreCard for about 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:06.319 $248 million in an all -stock deal, providing 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.339 some security for its future.

A nuclear fusion startup 00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:27.340 based in San Francisco claims it can create gold 00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:30.720 from mercury, potentially making alchemy a reality. 00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:35.200 While the company, Marathon Fusion, has outlined 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.000 its method in a paper not yet peer -reviewed, 00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:41.929 it involves bombarding Mercury -198. with energetic 00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:45.950 neutrons to produce mercury -197, which eventually 00:09:45.950 --> 00:09:50.570 decays into gold -197. However, sheeting this 00:09:50.570 --> 00:09:53.370 process requires extreme conditions, including 00:09:53.370 --> 00:09:59.049 a significant neutron flux. Experts remain skeptical, 00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:02.169 as the commercial viability of fusion reactors 00:10:02.169 --> 00:10:05.549 is still years away, leaving humanity's alchemical 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:09.639 dreams largely confined to paper. Nonetheless, 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:12.679 the future of fusion energy may hold promise. 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.220 Entertainment News In the latest review of The 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:23.879 Naked Gun, Liam Neeson shines with his deadpan 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.980 goofiness, while Pamela Anderson steals scenes 00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:30.610 with her impeccable comic timing. Directed by 00:10:30.610 --> 00:10:34.110 Akeba Schaffer, this legacy sequel continues 00:10:34.110 --> 00:10:37.129 the spirit of the original trilogy, featuring 00:10:37.129 --> 00:10:41.009 the sons of classic characters. Though the film 00:10:41.009 --> 00:10:43.629 stumbles midway, it offers enough laugh -out 00:10:43.629 --> 00:10:47.389 -loud moments for nostalgic fans. Neeson's serious 00:10:47.389 --> 00:10:50.610 delivery adds a meta layer as he tackles crime, 00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:55.169 while Anderson's charm keeps lines fresh. Despite 00:10:55.169 --> 00:10:58.450 its unevenness, the film delivers a mix of inspired 00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:02.049 nonsense, and retrograde humor, engaging audiences 00:11:02.049 --> 00:11:06.490 with its playful spirit. Well, alrighty folks, 00:11:06.809 --> 00:11:10.649 it's time for the quote of the day.

And he said, Restlessness 00:11:19.009 --> 00:11:22.769 is discontent, and discontent is the first necessity 00:11:22.769 --> 00:11:26.990 of progress.
