Despite the challenges, 00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:34.160 Qualcomm's stock closed up over 1 % at $148 per 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.620 share, although it fell over 9 % in after -hours 00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:39.839 trading following the earnings announcement. 00:04:44.790 --> 00:04:49.430 Now onto sports. American speed skater Jordan 00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:52.750 Stolls won his first gold medal in a weird way, 00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:56.009 setting an Olympic record in the 1 ,000 meters 00:04:56.009 --> 00:05:00.149 with a time of 106 .28 seconds, beating Dutch 00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:02.970 rival Jenning de Boe by a fraction of a second. 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.800 However, Stolls had to wait 15 minutes for another 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.040 skater, Joe Puenemars, to race again after being 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.579 cut off in a previous heat. When Puenemars finished 00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:16.600 in fifth place, Stolls celebrated by skating 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.199 a lap with a flag overhead, joined by Snoop Dogg 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.560 and Eric Haydn. Stolls aims to win three more 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.500 races, feeling less pressure now that he has 00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:33.209 one gold medal.

The old Pac -12 disbanded in 2024, 00:05:44.009 --> 00:05:46.589 leaving only Oregon's state and Washington state 00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:49.709 before a legal battle secured control of conference 00:05:49.709 --> 00:05:53.189 rights. This fall, the conference welcomes five 00:05:53.189 --> 00:05:56.129 teams from the Mountain West, including Aztecs, 00:05:56.370 --> 00:05:59.410 along with Texas State, to maintain bowl eligibility. 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.399 The schedule features a four -game non -conference 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.399 slate starting on September 5th, followed by 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.860 a seven -game round robin, culminating in a championship 00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:13.579 game at the highest seeds venue. In a twist, 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.959 Week 13 will feature flex matchups to enhance 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:22.819 playoff positioning.

David Skotis 00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:39.319 operated his illicit business out of Victory 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.519 Park in Murrieta, California, converting cash 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.779 into cryptocurrency through more than 4 ,000 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:50.279 transactions. Arrested in June 2023, Skotis' 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.240 case highlights the evolving landscape of money 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.800 laundering, where participants range from gig 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.720 workers to brokers for organized crime. Experts 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.819 warn that without proper oversight, these operations 00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:06.519 may slip beyond government control. The future 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.699 of money laundering is increasingly digital and 00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:14.819 decentralized.

The Netherlands boasts high productivity 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.759 with fewer hours, but challenges remain as the 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.819 workforce ages.
