His decision transformed the 00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:37.380 crown by placing personal choice and public duty 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:41.060 intention and led to a renewed emphasis on stability 00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:45.939 and continuity in royal succession. So now you 00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:50.500 know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.219 Thursday in Encinita. This morning, it's looking 00:00:57.219 --> 00:01:01.780 clean with one plus foot waves rolling in. Conditions 00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:05.120 stay clean until about nine when they shift to 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.519 one to two feet and become fair. Winds are on 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.900 shore at two miles per hour, increasing to five 00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:17.519 miles per hour by one in the afternoon. Best 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.219 time to ride is at 7 a .m. with the three foot 00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:24.540 outgoing low tide when the South Southwest swell. 00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:28.510 is 1 feet at 14 seconds, and the offshore wind 00:01:28.510 --> 00:01:32.930 is 1 mile per hour. The first low tide on Thursday 00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:37.409 will be 2 .5 feet at 9 a .m., followed by a 4 00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:41.829 -foot high tide at 2 .15. The nearshore buoy 00:01:41.829 --> 00:01:46.010 at Beacons reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.769 Friday brings clean waves at 2 to 3 feet with 00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:54.560 light winds throughout the day. Saturday sees 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.719 a drop in size to two feet, with fair conditions 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.420 and unsure winds developing in the afternoon. 00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:04.739 Sunday offers a steady increase in swell, reaching 00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:07.579 two feet with choppy conditions later, making 00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:12.219 it the most challenging day of the period. This 00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:15.060 morning, it's sunny and it feels like 60 degrees, 00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:19.159 with five mile per hour wind. The sunset will 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.639 take place at 443. and it will rise again tomorrow 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.620 at 645. It looks like we're in for some sunny 00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:30.219 weather today with a high near 66 and a light 00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:34.219 north wind at just a few miles per hour tonight. 00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:39.840 Expect patchy fog after 4 a .m. and partly cloudy 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.680 skies with a low around 56 and a light breeze. 00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:49.169 Looking ahead in the weather, Friday starts with 00:02:49.169 --> 00:02:52.449 patchy fog before 10 a .m.

In local 00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:51.120 news, starting in January 2026, critically acclaimed 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.060 British street artist Banksy will bring the art 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:57.819 of Banksy without limits to San Diego, showcasing 00:03:57.819 --> 00:04:00.800 at the Delmar Fairgrounds Activity Center beginning 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.120 January 30th. This comprehensive exhibit features 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.740 over 200 artworks, including certified originals, 00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:11.900 prints, photographs, lithographs, sculptures, 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.379 and murals, plus an infinity room, and a unique 00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:19.240 installation dedicated to Ukraine. Tickets go 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.000 on sale today at 9 a .m. and prices range from 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.300 $28 to $34, with various discounts available. 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.779 As the exhibition's producer, Serena Berleque 00:04:31.779 --> 00:04:34.959 emphasizes that Banksy's art seeks to provoke, 00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:39.019 shock, and even unsettle society, conveying important 00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:47.160 values that can transform the world. Now onto 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.139 sports. Why did the Colts gamble on Philip Rivers 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.899 to save their season? He can still sling it. 00:04:55.779 --> 00:04:59.259 On December 9th, 2025, the text message rolled 00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:03.139 in while Rivers was shaking off rust. If this 00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:05.860 report is true, then I'm all in, Frank Drake 00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:09.819 wrote. Rivers considered two options, returning 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:13.300 to the 8 -in -5 Indianapolis Colts or heading 00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:17.120 home to Alabama. In a stunning unretirement, 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.540 Rivers is back in the NFL five years later, likely 00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.100 the Colts' best hope to avoid a late -season 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:26.639 collapse. General manager Chris Ballard knows 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.199 this gamble could define the season. It's a bold 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.480 move to sign a 44 -year -old quarterback. And 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.540 tonight, on Thursday Night Football, Kirk Cousins 00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:40.699 and the Falcons aim to play spoiler against Baker 00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:44.519 Mayfield and the Buccaneers. The Atlanta Falcons, 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.720 with a record of four wins and nine losses, visit 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.920 the Buccaneers, who have seven wins and six losses. 00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:54.300 The Buccaneers were on track for a fifth straight 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:57.160 division title, but have lost three consecutive 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.699 games. Falcons coach Raheem Morris stated, you 00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:04.620 never want to be in this spot, referring to playoff 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:08.189 elimination. Mayfield emphasized the importance 00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:10.829 of expecting their best from the Falcons, knowing 00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:13.750 they aim to ruin the Buccaneers' playoff chances. 00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:19.730 Kickoff is at 8 .15 Eastern on Prime Video, in 00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:23.790 local sports. A .J. Prowler, the president of 00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:26.589 baseball operations for the San Diego Padres, 00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:29.990 stated that franchise star Fernando Tatis Jr. 00:06:30.089 --> 00:06:33.649 is untouchable in trade talks, but he acknowledged 00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:37.139 the complexities of such a claim. During the 00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:39.480 major league baseball winter meetings, Preller 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.000 emphasized that Tatis is a key player, asserting 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.139 he can be that type of player. Despite the Padres' 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.939 challenges, including a roster filled with high 00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:53.240 -value contracts and a team -up for sale, officials 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.779 insisted Tatis is not available for trade. As 00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:00.720 speculation continues, other teams have not stopped 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.040 inquiring about Tatis, highlighting his significant 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:09.720 value in the league. In top news, the Federal 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.079 Reserve cut interest rates for the third time 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.620 this year, and this quarter -point reduction 00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:17.500 might not lead to lower mortgage or car loan 00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:21.079 rates immediately. Although Fed cuts influence 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.139 banks' loan rates, they do not control them directly. 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.060 Bank rate financial analyst Steph Cates stated, 00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:40.250 For mortgages, the 30 -year rate is around 6 00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:44.149 .19 % and is influenced more by Treasury bond 00:07:44.149 --> 00:07:49.889 yields. Auto loan rates, averaging 6 .6%, are 00:07:49.889 --> 00:07:53.149 also affected by many factors, including borrower 00:07:53.149 --> 00:07:58.930 credit scores. In business news, S &P and Nasdaq 00:07:58.930 --> 00:08:02.069 Futures fell Wednesday night. As Oracle's results 00:08:02.069 --> 00:08:05.290 reignited fears about high -flying tech stocks, 00:08:05.750 --> 00:08:08.029 despite the Federal Reserve's latest interest 00:08:08.029 --> 00:08:10.930 rate cut boosting U .S. equity markets in the 00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:14.230 prior session. Futures tied to the Dow Jones 00:08:14.230 --> 00:08:19.649 Industrial Average added 43 points, or 0 .1%. 00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:23.329 Oracle shares tumbled 11 % after posting disappointing 00:08:23.329 --> 00:08:26.709 quarterly revenue and raising its spending forecast. 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.720 In after -hours trading, other AI plays also 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.440 fell, including NVIDIA down 1 % and Core Weave 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:38.500 down more than 3%. Investors suggest caution 00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:41.399 ahead, as the central bank remains in a wait 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.379 -and -see mode regarding future monetary policy. 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.200 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % to $90 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.279 ,000.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:55.049 --> 00:09:59.409 science. Onside of Earth is rapidly getting colder 00:09:59.409 --> 00:10:03.009 than the other. Research shows the Pacific Hemisphere 00:10:03.009 --> 00:10:05.990 is losing heat faster than the African Hemisphere. 00:10:07.389 --> 00:10:09.850 Scientists from the University of Oslo indicate 00:10:09.850 --> 00:10:13.129 that one side of Earth's interior is losing heat 00:10:13.129 --> 00:10:16.710 much faster than the other side. A study published 00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:19.429 in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that 00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:22.509 parts of Earth have been insulated by more landmass, 00:10:22.809 --> 00:10:26.580 creating a thermos layer that traps heat. The 00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:29.220 Pacific Hemisphere has cooled about 50 Kelvin 00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:32.659 more than the African Hemisphere. This suggests 00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:35.059 that the Pacific was much hotter at a certain 00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:42.259 moment in time. Entertainment news. Jennifer 00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.120 Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are expected to 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.279 reprise their roles as Katniss Everdeen and Peta 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.460 Mallark in the Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:54.990 on the Reaping. This Lionsgate movie is based 00:10:54.990 --> 00:10:58.210 on the latest novel by Suzanne Collins, following 00:10:58.210 --> 00:11:01.649 the events of the 50th Hunger Games, 24 years 00:11:01.649 --> 00:11:04.409 before Katniss and Peeta entered the killing 00:11:04.409 --> 00:11:08.450 field. The story centers on Haymitch's experience 00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:11.750 in the games as a 16 -year -old, played by Joseph 00:11:11.750 --> 00:11:15.210 Sada.
