In local news, residents of Ocean Beach 00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:15.500 are concerned that the city's budget -cutting 00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:19.310 efforts Aimed at addressing a projected $258 00:04:19.310 --> 00:04:22.829 million deficit, could jeopardize the Ocean Beach 00:04:22.829 --> 00:04:26.850 Cottage emerging historic district. This district 00:04:26.850 --> 00:04:30.189 is home to 72 historically significant properties, 00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:33.209 including craftsman bungalows, built between 00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:39.009 1887 and 1931.

While some proposed 00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:51.110 changes are seen as beneficial, others, like 00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:53.829 granting the City Council authority to overturn 00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:56.769 decisions made by the Historical Resources Board, 00:04:57.189 --> 00:05:00.050 have raised concerns about politicizing preservation 00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:09.670 efforts. Now onto sports. Bengals wide receiver 00:05:09.670 --> 00:05:12.750 Jomare Chase has been suspended by the National 00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:15.449 Football League for the upcoming game against 00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:18.689 the New England Patriots.

As a result, he is facing a one -game 00:05:28.850 --> 00:05:32.290 suspension. Chase plans to appeal the decision, 00:05:32.470 --> 00:05:34.990 but currently he will not participate in the 00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:39.399 Week 12 matchup. Also in the NFL, calls are mounting 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.279 for the Las Vegas Raiders to fire Pete Carroll 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.720 as fans lash out after a disastrous loss to the 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.000 Dallas Cowboys last night on Monday Night Football. 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.860 The Cowboys, with a record of three wins, five 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:56.139 losses, and one tie, handed the Raiders, who 00:05:56.139 --> 00:05:59.500 stand at two wins and seven losses, a significant 00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:03.259 defeat. Fans expressed their frustration on social 00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:06.680 media with comments like, It's been time to fire 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.120 Pete, and he is destroying this team. The Raiders 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.620 were already on a three -game losing streak, 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:17.660 including a shutout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. 00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.579 Dallas, despite having the second -worst defense 00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:23.420 in the league, performed exceptionally well against 00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:29.459 the Raiders. In local sports, San Diego FC's 00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:31.779 journey to the Western Conference semifinals 00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:35.360 has been nothing short of remarkable. Before 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.199 their inaugural match in February, many experts 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.860 predicted the team would finish last in the Western 00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:43.920 Conference. Now they are just one match away 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.379 from the Western Conference final, aiming to 00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:49.019 replicate the Chicago Fire's historic success 00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:55.000 in 1998. SDSC will face Minnesota United Football 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.439 Club on November 24th at Snapdragon Stadium, 00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:02.279 with kickoff at 7 in the evening. The upcoming 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.819 match promises a clash of styles as San Diego 00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:09.620 FC's attacking strategy meets Minnesota's counterattack. 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.439 With their current momentum, SDSC could potentially 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:20.279 triumph. In top news, scientists have sequenced 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.839 the DNA of the last Neanderthal, revealing clues 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.560 about how our ancient relatives disappeared from 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.660 history. In 2015, a team led by paleoanthropologist 00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:36.079 Ludovic Slimek discovered jaw remains of a Neanderthal, 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.360 approximately 42 ,000 years old, in Rhone Valley, 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.240 France. Named Thorin, this Neanderthal's lineage 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.139 remained isolated from others, despite living 00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:50.920 near modern humans. The analysis published in 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.920 the journal Cellgenomics confirmed high genetic 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.300 homozygosity, indicating in breeding, and no 00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:00.319 evidence of interbreeding with contemporary humans. 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.259 SLIMAC stated that this discovery necessitates 00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.819 a complete revaluation of our understanding of 00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:12.899 Neanderthal extinction. In business news, there 00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:16.079 is new evidence of global pain, stemming from 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.740 President Trump's trade policy, which scrambled 00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:22.480 the world economy. From China to Switzerland, 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.300 the readjustment to double -digit tariffs has 00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:29.110 been bumpy. Japan's economy shrank by almost 00:08:29.110 --> 00:08:32.429 2 % on an annualized basis in the third quarter. 00:08:33.809 --> 00:08:36.070 Switzerland's gross domestic product in the same 00:08:36.070 --> 00:08:40.509 period fell by 0 .5%, the first quarterly drop 00:08:40.509 --> 00:08:45.590 since 2023. Shipments to the U .S. fell 25 % 00:08:45.590 --> 00:08:49.129 compared to a year earlier. China appears to 00:08:49.129 --> 00:08:52.049 be slow -walking its purchases of U .S. soybeans, 00:08:52.429 --> 00:08:55.490 despite promises to buy 12 million metric tons 00:08:55.490 --> 00:08:59.899 this year. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:06.759 4 % to about $91 ,000. Ethereum is down 5 % to 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:11.620 just over $3 ,000. And XRP is down half a percent 00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:19.500 to $2 .14. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Computer chips in our 00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:13.960 bodies could be the future of medicine. The brain 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.899 -computer interface is changing lives and has 00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:21.120 the potential to change the world. 87 -year -old 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.470 Alice Chardon from a suburb of Paris experienced 00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:27.850 vision loss due to age -related macular degeneration. 00:10:29.110 --> 00:10:32.230 This disease affects 200 million people globally, 00:10:32.789 --> 00:10:35.190 impairing central vision without causing blindness. 00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:39.269 A revolutionary procedure called Prima, developed 00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:42.370 by Science Corporation, has restored some vision 00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:45.990 for patients like Chartin. In clinical trials, 00:10:46.309 --> 00:10:49.370 nearly 80 % of participants improved their eye 00:10:49.370 --> 00:10:52.860 chart performance significantly. The future of 00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:55.440 brain -computer interfaces holds promise for 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.279 enhancing abilities and restoring functions for 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:05.519 many. Entertainment news. Disney and YouTube 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.720 TV reached a deal late last week after a lengthy 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.240 blackout. The two sides were divided on how much 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.970 Disney's networks, like ESPN, are worth. Sports 00:11:16.970 --> 00:11:20.090 fans can expect similar carriage disputes in 00:11:20.090 --> 00:11:24.129 2026. Disney's long -running fight with YouTube 00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:28.409 TV is over as channels, including ESPN, return 00:11:28.409 --> 00:11:32.690 on Friday night after a 15 -day blackout. However, 00:11:32.769 --> 00:11:35.250 Disney warned that more blackouts may be ahead 00:11:35.250 --> 00:11:38.470 due to expiring contracts with pay TV providers. 00:11:39.730 --> 00:11:42.129 Analyst Alan Volk predicts that disputes will 00:11:42.129 --> 00:11:46.889 become commonplace in 2026. As the cord -cutting 00:11:46.889 --> 00:11:49.830 movement continues, fewer people have paid TV 00:11:49.830 --> 00:11:52.629 subscriptions, leaving die -hard fans as the 00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:56.330 main customers. Disney argues that its valuable 00:11:56.330 --> 00:11:59.909 sports rights make its networks essential. Some 00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:03.909 customers may gawk at rising monthly bills. YouTube 00:12:03.909 --> 00:12:06.889 TV had leverage due to its parent company, Google. 00:12:08.129 --> 00:12:10.570 Companies like Charter are adapting by bundling 00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:13.250 streaming services, which has helped slow their 00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:17.059 cord -cutting rates. Media giants must secure 00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:19.639 value for their networks, while TV providers 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.279 have reasons to resist, leading to potential 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:27.799 conflicts in 2026. Well, all righty, folks. It's 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.720 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.399 quote comes from the American inventor and visionary, 00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:40.399 Thomas J. Watson. And he said... The great accomplishments 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.100 of man have resulted from the transmission of 00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:47.639 ideas of enthusiasm. And that's a wrap for this 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.200 morning.
