00:03:47,840 and will be open for free public tours from May 17th to May 20th at the B Street Pier. 45 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,180 The ship, which sailed from Acapulco with 261 crew members, serves

00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,240 Caitlin Clark's home debut for the Indiana Fever was overshadowed by Brianna Stewart's 53 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:43,400 MVP performance, leading the New York Liberty to a 102-66 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 54 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Stewart's dominant game, featuring 31 points, 10 rebounds, and multiple defensive contributions, 55 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,660 highlighted the Liberty's strength. 56 00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:58,480 Clark had a solid outing with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, but struggled against 57 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640 intense defensive pressure. 58 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Despite an early bucket that energized the crowd, Clark faced tough defense and limited 59 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,720 scoring opportunities. 60 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,720 The Fever's defensive struggles and challenging schedule have contributed to their O and 2 61 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,960 start, with upcoming games against top-tier teams. 62 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Last night in local sports, the Padres were off. 63 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,560 But tonight, the Padres are on the road in Atlanta to take on the Braves. 64 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:40,840 In top news, the Justice Department has uncovered a major identity theft scheme involving thousands 65 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:48,280 of North Korean IT workers who stole American identities to secure remote tech jobs at Fortune 66 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,960 500 companies. 67 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,880 This scheme generated significant revenue for North Korea, including for its weapons 68 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:02,160 program by exploiting the U.S. labor shortage and the rise of remote work. 69 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Three individuals have been arrested in Arizona who facilitated the scheme. 70 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:14,080 The Justice Department and FBI are collaborating with international partners and private companies 71 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,280 to combat such fraud, emphasizing the need for stringent identity verification in hiring 72 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,400 processes. 73 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,440 In business news, in response to declining subscriber numbers, Comcast has launched a 74 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:36,360 new streaming service bundle called StreamSaver, which includes Apple TV+, Netflix, and Peacock. 75 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,880 This initiative aims to counter the trend of cord cutting, where consumers are abandoning 76 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,720 cable TV in favor of streaming services. 77 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,460 Comcast chair Brian Roberts announced the bundle, emphasizing its competitive pricing 78 00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:54,660 and value addition for consumers. 79 00:06:54,660 --> 00:07:00,080 This move comes after Comcast reported significant losses in broadband and video customers in 80 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,560 its first quarter earnings for 2024, with a 7% decrease in revenue from residential 81 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960 video subscribers. 82 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,120 The new bundle is an effort to attract and retain customers amid the shifting media consumption 83 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880 landscape. 84 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:30,280 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $65,500, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana is

show. 96 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,280 Let's talk tech. 97 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:30,780 British engineering giant RUP has fallen victim to a $25 million deepfake scam involving a 98 00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:35,120 Hong Kong employee being tricked into transferring funds. 99 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,560 The fraudsters used sophisticated fake voices and images to impersonate the company's 100 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,520 CFO and other staff during a video call. 101 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,920 Despite the significant loss, RUP confirmed that their financial stability and business 102 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,400 operations remained unaffected, and their internal systems were uncompromised. 103 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,720 This incident, under investigation by Hong Kong police, highlights the increasing frequency 104 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:09,800 and sophistication of cyberattacks such as deepfakes, invoice fraud, and phishing scams. 105 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:16,600 RUP's global CIO emphasized the need for heightened awareness and vigilance against such threats. 106 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,920 And in entertainment news. 107 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,640 Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited passion project, Megalopolis, premiered at the Cannes 108 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Film Festival, closing a chapter decades in the making for the legendary director. 109 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:40,840 This 138-minute science fiction epic, inspired by Roman history, features Adam Driver as 110 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:48,480 architect scientist Caesar Catalina and Giancarlo Esposito as Mayor Franklin Cicero. 111 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Despite mixed critical reviews, with some finding it fascinating if chaotic, Megalopolis 112 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,920 marks Coppola's return to Cannes competition, for the first time since Apocalypse Now in 113 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,400 1979. 114 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,400 The film, which has a star-studded cast, at a $120 million budget, has yet to secure a 115 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,840 U.S. distributor, but is expected to have a limited global release in IMAX theaters 116 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,640 later this year. 117 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:22,280 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 118 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,760 And today, our quote comes from the lawyer and civil rights activist, Thurgood Marshall. 119 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,760 He said, 120 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:36,000 None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. 121 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,880 We got here because somebody, a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony, or a few nuns, 122 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,400 bent down and helped us pick up our boots. 123 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,000 And that's a wrap for this morning. 124 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,200 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos, 125 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,680 with local news and the surf reports. 126 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,840 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 127 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:13,480 We'll see
