a young Cassius Clay stunned the boxing world

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.620

00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:32.380
new identity as Muhammad Ali. That victory marked

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:35.399
a transformative milestone for sport and social

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.079
visibility, as Muhammad Ali embodied fearless

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.579
skill, outspoken conviction, and a redefinition

00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:46.840

00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:11.670

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.140
the offshore wind is one mile per hour. The first

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:33.079
low tide on Wednesday will be a half foot just

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.959

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:04.079

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.519
shows improvement with a steady two to three

00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.039
feet featuring fair conditions throughout the

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.219
day making it the best opportunity for surfers

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:17.479
this period. This morning it's partly sunny and

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.139
it feels like 59 degrees with no wind. The sunset

00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:25.439

Diego Unified School District Board of Education

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.080
is considering a nickname change for Claremont

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.900
High School's athletic teams from chieftains

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:08.199

students can aspire to attain. If approved, the

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.220
change would take effect for the 2026 to 2027

00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:29.740
school year. Local tribal leaders have expressed

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:32.180

the situation. Officials testified that local

00:05:18.350 --> 00:05:21.029
agencies struggle to coordinate with federal

received a contract extension that keeps him

00:05:47.629 --> 00:05:52.209
in his role through the first half of 2029. This

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:54.829
comes after Heaves built a roster that set Major

00:05:54.829 --> 00:05:57.310
League Soccer expansion records for wins and

00:05:57.310 --> 00:06:02.689
points during the 2025 season. San Diego SC has

00:06:02.689 --> 00:06:07.069
started strong in 2026. defeating Puma's 4 -1

00:06:07.069 --> 00:06:10.069

NLS season opener against Montreal 5 -0. Despite

00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:17.850
the ongoing uncertainty regarding Mexican star

00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:21.149
Chucky Lozano, ownership remains confident in

00:06:21.149 --> 00:06:25.910
HEAP's leadership moving forward. In top news,

00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:30.490
a massive rift is splitting Africa in half, and

00:06:30.490 --> 00:06:34.899
Mayformers, sixth ocean scientists say. In northeast

00:06:34.899 --> 00:06:37.939
Ethiopia, the rift shoved continental plates

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:41.660
apart by 25 feet in just a few days, completely

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:45.439
shocking researchers. The ground split wide open

00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.879
in September 2005 amidst volcanic eruptions and

00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.759
hundreds of earthquakes. Cynthia Diebinger, a

00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.120
geologist at Tulane University, stated, we had

00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.759
never seen something like this. The Davahoo Fisher

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.740
may lead to Africa splitting into two continents,

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.180
creating a new ocean in millions of years. Ebbinger

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:10.699
predicts that dramatic episodes will continue

00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:16.860
every 50 to 100 years. In business news, Big

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:20.100
Tech is buying up America's land and home builders

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.839
cannot compete. In Prince William County, Virginia,

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:27.040
Steve Alloy, chief executive of Stanley Martin,

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.899
Notice tech giants like Microsoft and Google

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:33.699
acquiring land instead of housing developers.

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:38.120
For instance, a data center developer pays $31

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.879
million for land, meant for 250 housing units.

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.600
As artificial intelligence grows, developers

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.279
find selling to data centers more profitable

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.860
than housing. In Northern Virginia, a housing

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:57.019
shortage exceeds 75 ,000 homes, while data centers

00:07:57.019 --> 00:08:00.620
dominate land development. Local officials and

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:03.379
residents express concerns over the impact on

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:07.360
housing and community needs. In crypto movement,

00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:13.980
Bitcoin is up 2 % to about $65 ,000. Ethereum

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:27.660
up 1 .5 % to $1 .37. Moving on to a more local

00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:31.800

MacBook Pros, set to launch this fall, will feature

in 14 -inch and 16 -inch screen sizes. and will

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:48.940
look similar to current versions. Apple will

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:52.259
update the user interface to be dynamic for better

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:56.139
