The storm could lead to widespread 00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:04.930 destruction, flooding, and long -lasting humanitarian 00:08:04.930 --> 00:08:09.050 crises.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.440 tech. Amazon plans to lay off as many as 30 ,000 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.659 workers, starting as early as Tuesday, according 00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:28.379 to sources familiar with the matter. This latest 00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:31.000 cost -cutting move aims to slim down the company 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.559 and conserve cash. The job cuts could affect 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.639 roughly 10 % of the corporate workforce, spanning 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.700 across various business units, including human 00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:45.370 resources and cloud computing. Amazon chief executive 00:10:45.370 --> 00:10:49.009 Andy Jassy has been reducing expenses, especially 00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:51.789 as the company invests in artificial intelligence. 00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:55.950 These layoffs would be the largest since 2022, 00:10:56.490 --> 00:11:01.029 when around 27 ,000 roles were eliminated. Amazon 00:11:01.029 --> 00:11:04.250 is also leveraging technology to boost efficiency 00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:11.289 and reduce the need for human workers. Entertainment 00:11:11.289 --> 00:11:15.740 news. The new biopic, Springsteen, Deliver Me 00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:19.059 From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, has 00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:22.100 struggled at the box office, making just $9 million 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.899 during its opening weekend in North America. 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.200 Despite Bruce Springsteen's iconic status, the 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.080 film fell short of its $55 million budget. Experts 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.299 suggest Springsteen's clean image may have hindered 00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:40.299 its success, as his life lacks the dramatic peaks 00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:44.330 of other musical icons. With mixed reviews, the 00:11:44.330 --> 00:11:47.769 film is unlikely to compete for awards, contrasting 00:11:47.769 --> 00:11:51.110 with successful biopics like Bohemian Rhapsody. 00:11:52.269 --> 00:11:55.690 The top film this weekend was Chainsaw Man, an 00:11:55.690 --> 00:11:59.309 anime that earned 17 million dollars, showcasing 00:11:59.309 --> 00:12:02.090 the growing popularity of Japanese animation. 00:12:03.789 --> 00:12:06.610 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote 00:12:06.610 --> 00:12:10.320 of the day. And today... Our quote comes from 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.860 the American poet and essayist Walt Whitman. 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.620 And he said, the powerful play goes on and you 00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:22.820 may contribute a verse.
