00:00:28,200 the American Professional Football Conference at a meeting in Canton, Ohio. 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,520 This historic event marked the beginning of what would become one of the most popular 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,720 and influential sports leagues in the world, fostering a new era of professional football. 8 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,720 So now you know. 9 00:00:41,720 -->

morning. 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,040 According to a state police spokesperson, the child, who is under 2 years old, slipped 32 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,700 through the railing behind the Royal Sonnesta Hotel in Cambridge and fell into the river. 33 00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:44,520 The father jumped into the water to grab the child. 34 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,680 A Boston duck tours boat then picked them up. 35 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Paramedics evaluated both and the child was taken to a local hospital as a precaution, 36 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560 per state police. 37 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:05,680 Great news, the father and child are going to be just fine. 38 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,360 Now on to sports. 39 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,440 The NFL's new kickoff rule, introduced in March, aims to increase kickoff returns while 40 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280 reducing injuries. 41 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,640 Early preseason results show a significant rise in returns, with a 78% return rate compared 42 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,120 to 22% last season. 43 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,040 Chief Medical Officer Dr. Alan Sills noted no unusual injury findings so far. 44 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:41,060 The average kickoff return now spans 25 yards, up from 23 yards last season, with more explosive 45 00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:42,600 plays observed. 46 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:49,480 NFL executives remain open to further tweaks, monitoring closely as the regular season approaches 47 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,080 to ensure the rule's effectiveness. 48 00:03:53,080 --> 00:04:01,400 In local sports, the Red Sox on the road beat the Astros 4-2 and tonight. 49 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,360 They're back at it for Game 2 of the series. 50 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,880 And top news, used cars are now more than 10% cheaper than last year, largely due to 51 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,520 rising inventories of new cars and discounts to move those vehicles off-lot sooner. 52 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,040 Consumer prices rose modestly in July, mainly on housing costs, but prices for used cars 53 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,040 and trucks dropped by 10.9% year over year. 54 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,820 Used electric vehicle prices fell even more sharply by nearly 21% in the second quarter 55 00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:45,840 of 2023 and almost 40% from the second quarter of 2022, analysts said Edmonds. 56 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,120 Com noted that new car discounts and increased inventory turnover have driven down the values 57 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040 of newer used vehicles. 58 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,240 In business news, Berkshire Hathaway stock has reached a record high, aligning with recent 59 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760 market dynamics. 60 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:11,080 S&P shares searched 1%, hitting $448.77. 61 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:20,440 Comparatively the S&P 500 rose 1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.6%. 62 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,160 Part of this success stems from CEO Warren Buffett's strategic bets on Occidental 63 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,600 Petroleum and other oil stocks. 64 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Additionally, Berkshire's exposure to financial and utility stocks has bolstered its performance. 65 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Despite slightly lagging behind the S&P 500 over 15 years, Buffett's investment acumen 66 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:50,160 remains highly regarded, especially amidst tech valuation concerns and recession fears. 67 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,240 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,800. 68 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,080 Ethereum is just under $2,700. 69 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,000 And Solana is $146. 70

the iPhone 16 Pro may feature a 6.27-inch screen, while the 85 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,800 Pro Max could boast a 6.86-inch display. 86 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,880 The lineup will include A18 chips

sales over the first three quarters of 89 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,400 2024. 90 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:53,640 And in entertainment news, Captain America, Brave New World, set to release on February

for political intrigue. 95 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:24,480 The Serpent Society, led by Giancarlo Esposito's character Sidewinder, emerges as a new threat. 96 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,080 The film, directed by Julius Sona, promises a grounded thriller, with a captain facing 97 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,000 unprecedented challenges, both external and internal. 98 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,840
