The proposal sparked 00:04:10.789 --> 00:04:13.330 debate, with supporters arguing it would free 00:04:13.330 --> 00:04:16.149 up housing, while opponents expressed concerns 00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:19.329 about its impact on tourism and local businesses. 00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:23.670 Council President Joe LaCava urged thoughtful 00:04:23.670 --> 00:04:26.649 consideration of city proposals, emphasizing 00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:29.490 the need for practical and fair solutions to 00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:39.240 housing challenges. Now onto sports. Josh Allen's 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.240 walk took his front row seat. For new Buffalo 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.860 Gills head coach, Joe Brady's news conference 00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:49.279 was not quick. He was on crutches with his right 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.800 foot in a walking boot after surgery on a broken 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.620 bone. Allen 29 said the injury stemmed from a 00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:59.000 previous incident aggravated in a week 16 win 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.220 over the Cleveland Browns. He did not miss playing 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:04.800 time due to the injury, although he described 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.819 it as painful. Allen declined his appearance 00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:11.439 at the Pro Bowl Games due to injury. He expressed 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.620 respect for former coach Sean McDermott and reflected 00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:18.319 on the emotional toll of the season. Allen emphasized 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.199 a desire to improve and work with Brady moving 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.300 forward. He is also looking forward to becoming 00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:30.029 a dad in local sports. The Padres are gearing 00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:33.149 up for a pivotal February as Major League Baseball 00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:35.790 teams start their spring training preparations. 00:05:36.829 --> 00:05:39.189 With the postseason in sight, the front office 00:05:39.189 --> 00:05:42.269 must resolve the first base debate before full 00:05:42.269 --> 00:05:46.269 -squad workouts in Peoria. President of Baseball 00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:49.370 Operations, A .J. Preller, has a talented but 00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:52.310 incomplete roster, making it essential to fill 00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:56.050 key gaps before opening day. Nick Castellanos 00:05:56.050 --> 00:05:58.329 could be a target. with the Phillies looking 00:05:58.329 --> 00:06:01.410 to trade him due to his declining defensive skills. 00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:05.089 Meanwhile, a reunion with Luis Aries remains 00:06:05.089 --> 00:06:08.250 a possibility, though his stature raises concerns 00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:11.870 about his first base capabilities. The Friar 00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.709 Faithful are eager for action, as they grow tired 00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:17.610 of the wait -and -see approach to roster improvement. 00:06:19.829 --> 00:06:23.740 In Top News, Waymo is under scrutiny after an 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:27.040 autonomous taxi struck a child near a Santa Monica 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.819 elementary school during drop -off, resulting 00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:33.139 in minor injuries to the child. The incident 00:06:33.139 --> 00:06:35.699 occurred when the child ran from behind a parked 00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:38.720 sport utility vehicle into traffic. The vehicle 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.160 braked hard, reducing speed from 17 miles per 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.839 hour to 6 miles per hour before impact. This 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.939 incident has prompted a federal safety investigation. 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.959 with Waymo asserting that its autonomous system 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.240 prevented more serious injuries. The company 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.639 reported the incident to the National Highway 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.600 Traffic Safety Administration and stated it would 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.839 fully cooperate with the investigation. In business 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.079 news, once at odds over cryptocurrency regulation, 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.279 the Securities and Exchange Commission and the 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.879 Commodity Futures Trading Commission pledged 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.500 to join forces. These two agencies, which have 00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:21.279 historically sparred over jurisdictional boundaries, 00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:25.100 aim to harmonize operations and eliminate confusion 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:29.160 in the market. At an event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.399 and CFTC Chair Michael Selig discussed their 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.100 collaboration on the Project Crypto initiative. 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.180 Selig stated, Project Crypto recognizes that 00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:42.560 crypto markets span across our agency's respective 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.100 regulatory frameworks. This collaboration is 00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:48.939 a repudiation of the previous administration's 00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:52.540 approach towards regulating cryptocurrency. Atkins 00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:55.100 emphasized that a federal framework for these 00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:59.759 rapidly evolving markets is long overdue. In 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.540 crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 5 % for the 00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:09.220 week to about $83 ,000.

The inventory reveals that 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.279 the app is in the deployment stage for both customs 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.299 and border protection and immigration and customs 00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:47.799 enforcement.

Both agencies state 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.440 that the app assists in quickly confirming identities 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:06.710 in situations with limited information.
