In local 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.740 news, the South Bay Union School District has 00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.980 announced plans to permanently close three elementary 00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:25.120 schools, including Sunny Slope Elementary School 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.379 and Berry Elementary School, due to significant 00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:31.319 enrollment declines exceeding 40 percent in the 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.779 past 15 years. Community opposition emerged strongly 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:39.620 at a recent school board meeting, where the resolution 00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:43.990 was passed unanimously. Vanessa Barrera, President 00:04:43.990 --> 00:04:47.250 of the Southwest Teachers Association emphasized 00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:50.089 that every student should have access to a public 00:04:50.089 --> 00:04:52.870 school in their neighborhoods, warning that closures 00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:55.649 could adversely affect students and the broader 00:04:55.649 --> 00:04:59.970 community.

The new stadium, 00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:32.399 projected to cost $3 billion, will be located 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.199 in Wyandotte County, while the team headquarters 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.920 will be in Olath, Kansas. Lieutenant Governor 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.000 David Tolland called it the largest economic 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.040 win in Kansas history. NFL Commissioner Roger 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.759 Goodell emphasized that this public -private 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.920 partnership will enhance the Chiefs' legacy and 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.199 benefit the region.

This suspension 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:14.839 follows a helmet -to -helmet hit during the Chargers' 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.560 recent victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Coach 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.220 John Harbaugh expressed hope that the circumstances 00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:23.600 would be considered during the appeal process. 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.339 Perryman's agent has confirmed that he will indeed 00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:31.120 appeal the suspension. With crucial games ahead, 00:07:31.290 --> 00:07:34.449 The Chargers aimed to secure the AFC West title, 00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:37.550 making Perryman's absence particularly impactful 00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:44.230 for San Diego area fans. In top news, the Trump 00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:47.829 administration abruptly recalled nearly 30 career 00:07:47.829 --> 00:07:50.910 ambassadors at U .S. embassies around the world, 00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:53.410 according to multiple officials familiar with 00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:56.100 the matter. in a move that senior officials said 00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:58.740 aims to better align the State Department with 00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:02.779 the president's foreign policy agenda. Ambassadors 00:08:02.779 --> 00:08:05.480 were told to return to Washington, giving them 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.500 until mid -January to vacate their posts. The 00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:12.019 mass recall, coupled with numerous top -level 00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:15.180 overseas posts already sitting empty, is without 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:19.860 modern historic precedent. At least 13 US ambassadors 00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:23.120 from Africa were recalled, including from Burundi 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.230 and Nigeria, alongside several in Europe and 00:08:26.230 --> 00:08:30.509 Asia. Concerns arise about the safety and well 00:08:30.509 --> 00:08:33.450 -being of diplomatic personnel overseas without 00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:38.710 seasoned leadership. In business news, U .S. 00:08:38.769 --> 00:08:41.350 officials have banned new drones made in China, 00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:45.970 sparking outrage among pilots. The Federal Communications 00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:48.830 Commission prohibited all drones and critical 00:08:48.830 --> 00:08:52.710 components from major Chinese manufacturers DJI 00:08:52.710 --> 00:08:56.580 Technology, and auto robotics, citing national 00:08:56.580 --> 00:09:00.320 security concerns. The ban does not affect existing 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.460 models in stores that are already purchased. 00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:06.259 Many American drone pilots are hoarding products, 00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:10.019 fearing the loss of their livelihoods, as DJI 00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:15.120 accounts for up to 90 % of the market. DJI expressed 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.740 disappointment in the decision, arguing that 00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:21.100 concerns about its data security lack evidence. 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.379 The ban poses a significant threat to many small 00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:29.519 businesses reliant on Chinese -made drones.

His 00:10:56.940 --> 00:11:00.200 research focuses on Bose polarons in superfluids 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.299 and super solids. Simons has been recognized 00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:06.820 as the youngest doctoral recipient in Belgium, 00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:09.659 completing high school at eight and a three -year 00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:13.629 bachelor program in just 18 months. His thesis 00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:16.509 examines the behavior of impurities in super 00:11:16.509 --> 00:11:21.330 solids, which supports unusual excitations. Simons 00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:23.690 plans to pursue a second doctorate in medical 00:11:23.690 --> 00:11:27.210 science with artificial intelligence, prioritizing 00:11:27.210 --> 00:11:33.870 rigorous clinical evidence.
