In local news, California 00:03:52.449 --> 00:03:55.210 leaders have unveiled a major crackdown on drunk 00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:58.050 driving, marking the largest legislative effort 00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:02.469 in decades to improve roadway safety. A bipartisan 00:04:02.469 --> 00:04:05.430 group of lawmakers has introduced 10 bills aimed 00:04:05.430 --> 00:04:08.710 at addressing California's weak DUI laws. with 00:04:08.710 --> 00:04:11.689 Assemblymember Cotty Petrie Norris calling it 00:04:11.689 --> 00:04:15.009 California's largest and most significant anti 00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:19.029 -drunk driving push in over two decades. The 00:04:19.029 --> 00:04:21.569 proposed measures include classifying vehicular 00:04:21.569 --> 00:04:24.629 manslaughter as a violent felony and mandating 00:04:24.629 --> 00:04:27.850 in -car breathalyzers for all DUI offenders. 00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:31.910 As fatalities from DUI -related incidents have 00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:35.269 increased, Advocates stress the urgency of these 00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:38.529 changes to protect families on California's roads. 00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:47.689 Now on to sports. This year's Olympic medals 00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:50.689 are generating chatter for their defects and 00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:53.970 price. Several athletes reported their medals 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:56.889 detaching from their ribbon, causing dents and 00:04:56.889 --> 00:05:01.050 in one case, breaking in half. In response, the 00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:03.949 Olympic organizing committee is rechecking all 00:05:03.949 --> 00:05:07.810 the medals. American skier Breezy Johnson said, 00:05:14.069 --> 00:05:17.430 Olympic organizing committee spokesperson Luca 00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:20.829 Casassa acknowledged issues and encouraged athletes 00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:24.769 to return faulty medals for repair. Despite the 00:05:24.769 --> 00:05:27.310 problems, the gold and silver medals are worth 00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:29.759 the most they have been in a century. due to 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:36.540 soaring precious metal prices. Mason Miller has 00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:39.160 been officially named the closer for the Padres 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.819 in 2026, as announced by new manager Craig Stammen 00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:46.579 ahead of the first formal workout for pitchers 00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:50.180 and catchers at the Peoria Sports Complex. This 00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:52.680 decision puts an end to off -season speculation 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.339 about Miller transitioning to a starting role, 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.649 a choice the organization made months ago. Miller, 00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:02.250 acquired from the ace last summer, shined in 00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:04.910 a setup role, making him the natural successor 00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:08.329 to two -time All -Star Closer Robert Suarez. 00:06:09.389 --> 00:06:14.189 He posted a 0 .77 earned run average in 22 appearances, 00:06:14.829 --> 00:06:21.269 striking out 45 of 83 batters faced. In top news, 00:06:22.350 --> 00:06:24.670 Amazon's ring has terminated its partnership 00:06:24.670 --> 00:06:28.920 with police tech company Flock Safety. This decision 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.560 followed backlash from a Super Bowl advertisement 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.819 promoting a search party feature that uses artificial 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:39.139 intelligence to help locate lost pets. Privacy 00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:41.899 advocates criticized this feature, calling it 00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:45.279 a surveillance nightmare. Ring's spokesperson 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.040 stated that the partnership was never active 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.120 and no videos were ever shared between the services. 00:06:52.150 --> 00:06:57.990 Amazon acquired Ring for $839 million in 2018. 00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:01.689 The company aims to reposition itself, focusing 00:07:01.689 --> 00:07:04.350 on crime prevention while navigating scrutiny 00:07:04.350 --> 00:07:10.050 over privacy issues. In business news, on February 00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:12.910 8th, sports fans watching the Super Bowl were 00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:16.189 treated to an advertisement for Claude, an artificial 00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:19.670 intelligence chatbot. This might have given investors 00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:23.089 with long memories an unsettling sense of deja 00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:26.610 vu. In the present, investors' confidence in 00:07:26.610 --> 00:07:29.829 today's emerging technology has begun to wobble 00:07:29.829 --> 00:07:32.829 as companies prepare to spend astonishing amounts 00:07:32.829 --> 00:07:37.410 of money on it. Recently, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, 00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:40.069 and Microsoft announced a combined expenditure 00:07:40.069 --> 00:07:44.470 of $660 billion on artificial intelligence in 00:07:44.470 --> 00:07:47.800 the coming year. However, concerns about high 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.459 share prices and inflation are making markets 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:53.699 feel jittery. Investors are searching for ways 00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.720 to hedge their equity risk, but auctions appear 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.360 limited.
