In local news, residents 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.599 of Ocean Beach are concerned that the city's 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.139 budget -cutting efforts aimed at addressing a 00:03:55.139 --> 00:03:59.800 projected $258 million deficit could jeopardize 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.780 the Ocean Beach Cottage emerging historic district. 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:07.340 This district is home to 72 historically significant 00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:10.439 properties, including craftsman bungalows built 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:16.069 between 1887 and 1931. Retired attorney Craig 00:04:16.069 --> 00:04:18.709 Klein is assisting residents in understanding 00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:22.269 complex zoning regulations, which are being revised 00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:25.889 to promote affordable housing. While some proposed 00:04:25.889 --> 00:04:28.870 changes are seen as beneficial, others, like 00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:31.569 granting the City Council authority to overturn 00:04:31.569 --> 00:04:34.490 decisions made by the Historical Resources Board, 00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:37.810 have raised concerns about politicizing preservation 00:04:37.810 --> 00:04:47.399 efforts. Now on to sports. Bengals wide receiver 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.500 Jomair Chase has been suspended by the National 00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:53.199 Football League for the upcoming game against 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.439 the New England Patriots. Chase was found to 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.300 have spit on cornerback Jalen Ramsey during the 00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.720 Cincinnati Bengals game against the Pittsburgh 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.600 Steelers. As a result, he is facing a one -game 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.040 suspension. Chase plans to appeal the decision, 00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.740 but currently he will not participate in the 00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:17.139 Week 12 matchup. Also in the NFL, calls are mounting 00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:20.040 for the Las Vegas Raiders to fire Pete Carroll 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.480 as fans lash out after a disastrous loss to the 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.699 Dallas Cowboys last night on Monday Night Football. 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.600 The Cowboys, with a record of three wins, five 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.879 losses, and one tie, handed the Raiders. who 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.259 stand at two wins and seven losses, a significant 00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:41.019 defeat. Fans expressed their frustration on social 00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.459 media with comments like, It's been time to fire 00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:48.860 Pete, and he is destroying this team. The Raiders 00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:51.360 were already on a three -game losing streak, 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.360 including a shutout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. 00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:58.319 Dallas, despite having the second worst defense 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.160 in the league, performed exceptionally well against 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:07.209 the Raiders. in local sports. San Diego FC's 00:06:07.209 --> 00:06:09.509 journey to the Western Conference semifinals 00:06:09.509 --> 00:06:13.149 has been nothing short of remarkable. Before 00:06:13.149 --> 00:06:15.949 their inaugural match in February, many experts 00:06:15.949 --> 00:06:18.629 predicted the team would finish last in the Western 00:06:18.629 --> 00:06:21.850 Conference. Now they're just one match away from 00:06:21.850 --> 00:06:24.470 the Western Conference final, aiming to replicate 00:06:24.470 --> 00:06:28.410 the Chicago Fire's historic success in 1998. 00:06:29.649 --> 00:06:33.069 SDFC will face Minnesota United Football Club 00:06:33.069 --> 00:06:37.170 on November 24th at Snapdragon Stadium with kickoff 00:06:37.170 --> 00:06:40.910 at 7 in the evening. The upcoming match promises 00:06:40.910 --> 00:06:44.589 a clash of styles as San Diego FC's attacking 00:06:44.589 --> 00:06:48.709 strategy meets Minnesota's counter -attack. With 00:06:48.709 --> 00:06:52.149 their current momentum, SDFC could potentially 00:06:52.149 --> 00:06:58.040 triumph. In top news... Scientists have sequenced 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.579 the DNA of the last Neanderthal, revealing clues 00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:04.319 about how our ancient relatives disappeared from 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.399 history. In 2015, a team led by paleoanthropologist 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.879 Ludovic Slimek discovered jaw remains of a Neanderthal, 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.100 approximately 42 ,000 years old, in Rhone Valley, 00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:21.959 France. Named Thorin, this Neanderthal's lineage 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.860 remained isolated from others, despite living 00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:28.660 near modern humans. The analysis published in 00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:31.660 the journal Cell Genomics confirmed high genetic 00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:35.420 homozygosity, indicating inbreeding, and no evidence 00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:39.720 of interbreeding with contemporary humans. SLIMAC 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.819 stated that this discovery necessitates a complete 00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:46.300 revaluation of our understanding of Neanderthal 00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:51.540 extinction. In business news, there is new evidence 00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:54.740 of global pain stemming from President Trump's 00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:57.600 trade policy, which scrambled the world economy. 00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:01.800 From China to Switzerland, the readjustment to 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.500 double -digit tariffs has been bumpy. Japan's 00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:08.639 economy shrank by almost 2 % on an annualized 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.399 basis in the third quarter. Switzerland's gross 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.439 domestic product in the same period fell by 0 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.240 .5%. the first quarterly drop since 2023. Shipments 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.839 to the U .S. fell 25 % compared to a year earlier. 00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:28.620 China appears to be slow -walking its purchases 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:32.120 of U .S. soybeans despite promises to buy 12 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.120 million metric tons this year. In crypto movement, 00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:42.620 Bitcoin is down 4 % to about $91 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:48.100 is down 5 % to just over $30 ,000. An XRP is 00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:54.460 down half a percent to $2 .14. Moving on to a 00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:58.980 more local vibe.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:45.210 --> 00:09:49.049 tech. Computer chips in our bodies could be the 00:09:49.049 --> 00:09:52.710 future of medicine. The brain -computer interface 00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:56.129 is changing lives and has the potential to change 00:09:56.129 --> 00:10:00.250 the world. 87 -year -old Alice Charton from a 00:10:00.250 --> 00:10:03.429 suburb of Paris experienced vision loss due to 00:10:03.429 --> 00:10:07.429 age -related macular degeneration. This disease 00:10:07.429 --> 00:10:10.909 affects 200 million people globally, impairing 00:10:10.909 --> 00:10:14.870 central vision without causing blindness. A revolutionary 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:17.730 procedure called PRIMA, developed by Science 00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:20.750 Corporation, has restored some vision for patients 00:10:20.750 --> 00:10:25.029 like chartin. In clinical trials, nearly 80 % 00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:27.870 of participants improved their eye chart performance 00:10:27.870 --> 00:10:31.269 significantly. The future of brain -computer 00:10:31.269 --> 00:10:34.250 interfaces holds promise for enhancing abilities 00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:42.929 and restoring functions for many. Disney and 00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:45.850 YouTube TV reached a deal late last week after 00:10:45.850 --> 00:10:49.230 a lengthy blackout. The two sides were divided 00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:52.809 on how much Disney's networks, like ESPN, are 00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:56.889 worth. Sports fans can expect similar carriage 00:10:56.889 --> 00:11:01.230 disputes in 2026. Disney's long -running fight 00:11:01.230 --> 00:11:04.470 with YouTube TV is over as channels, including 00:11:04.470 --> 00:11:08.389 ESPN, return on Friday night after a 15 -day 00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:12.259 blackout. However, Disney warned that more blackouts 00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:15.279 may be ahead due to expiring contracts with pay 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.279 TV providers. Analyst Alan Volk predicts that 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.899 disputes will become commonplace in 2026. As 00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:26.240 the court -cutting movement continues, fewer 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.340 people have pay TV subscriptions, leaving die 00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:33.159 -hard fans as the main customers. Disney argues 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.740 that its valuable sports rights make its networks 00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:39.299 essential. Some customers may gawk at rising 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.120 monthly bills. YouTube TD had leverage due to 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.779 its parent company Google. Companies like Charter 00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:49.299 are adapting by bundling streaming services, 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.019 which has helped slow their cord -cutting rates. 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.019 Media giants must secure value for their networks, 00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:59.320 while TV providers have reasons to resist, leading 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.460 to potential conflicts in 2026. Well, all righty, 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.470 folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And 00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:11.330 today, our quote comes from the American inventor 00:12:11.330 --> 00:12:16.090 and visionary, Thomas J. Watson. And he said, 00:12:19.629 --> 00:12:27.070 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:12:27.070 --> 00:12:30.590 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:12:30.590 --> 00:12:34.110 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:12:34.110 --> 00:12:37.590 the surf reports.
