The hospital 00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:12.259 has interviewed 11 staff members since April 00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:15.400 1st, uncovering additional health concerns in 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.560 six others. Officials stated they collaborated 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.419 with various safety departments and external 00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:24.219 consultants. conducting environmental assessments, 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.680 which reportedly found no risks linked to brain 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.819 tumor development. However, the Massachusetts 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:34.219 Nurses Association expressed concerns about the 00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:36.400 thoroughness of the hospital's environmental 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.500 testing.

These 8K cameras 00:04:00.009 --> 00:04:03.229 will utilize virtual measurement technology to 00:04:03.229 --> 00:04:05.509 quickly determine if the ball has traveled the 00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:09.530 required 10 yards for a first down. The system 00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:12.710 comprises six cameras that create a digital recreation 00:04:12.710 --> 00:04:15.210 of the measurement, which will be displayed in 00:04:15.210 --> 00:04:18.689 stadiums and on television. While measuring with 00:04:18.689 --> 00:04:22.209 the Hawkeye system takes around 30 seconds, significantly 00:04:22.209 --> 00:04:25.129 faster than the chain crew's time, the crew will 00:04:25.129 --> 00:04:27.509 still be present on the field in a secondary 00:04:27.509 --> 00:04:32.829 role.

Health officials 00:06:32.529 --> 00:06:36.129 reported these unusual cases as fewer than 100 00:06:36.129 --> 00:06:39.029 California residents have been diagnosed since 00:06:39.029 --> 00:06:43.439 1980. The recent deaths involving a young adult 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.680 occurred despite no evidence of mouse activity 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.420 in their homes. Investigators noted a potential 00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:53.839 deer mouse population boom could be contributing 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.980 to these infections. Public health officials 00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:59.600 urged residents to take precautions, such as 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.680 trapping rodents and properly storing food, to 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:08.800 prevent further cases. In business news… Global 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.560 economies are bracing for a potential flood of 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.620 cheap Chinese goods as President Donald Trump's 00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:19.339 tariffs threaten to reshape trade dynamics. Starting 00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:22.319 April 9th, Chinese imports will face tariffs 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.500 averaging around 70%. This move could drive up 00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:29.240 prices for various products in the United States, 00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:33.339 including electronics and toys. Economists warn 00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:36.199 that this could worsen the ongoing China shock. 00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:40.180 diverting U .S.-bound exports to an already saturated 00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:43.899 global market. With retaliatory measures likely, 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.959 the situation underscores how quickly trade wars 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.699 can escalate, leaving other countries struggling 00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:52.779 to absorb the excess manufacturing capacity from 00:07:52.779 --> 00:07:57.680 China.

And 00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:02.879 now, back to the show. Let's talk science. A 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.980 groundbreaking new superalloy designed from copper 00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:09.360 and tantalum with added lithium can endure temperatures 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.419 up to 800 degrees Celsius, which is 1400 degrees 00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:17.379 Fahrenheit. This innovative material not only 00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:20.700 withstands extreme heat, but also boasts a remarkable 00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:26.340 yield strength of 1 ,120 megapascals, surpassing 00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:30.159 traditional copper alloys. Researchers from several 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.120 U .S. universities and the U .S. Army Research 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.240 Laboratory developed this alloy, which mimics 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.840 the strengthening mechanisms of nickel -based 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.820 superalloys. This advancement may lead to more 00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.899 durable materials for various sectors, including 00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:52.799 aerospace and military applications. And in entertainment 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.789 news… David Fincher is set to direct a sequel 00:09:56.789 --> 00:10:01.090 to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film titled Twice 00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:04.850 Upon a Time in Hollywood. This project, which 00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:08.149 will debut on Netflix, is based on a script written 00:10:08.149 --> 00:10:12.269 by Tarantino. Brad Pitt is expected to reprise 00:10:12.269 --> 00:10:15.710 his Oscar -winning role as Cliff Booth, while 00:10:15.710 --> 00:10:19.129 Leonardo DiCaprio's return has not yet been confirmed. 00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:23.580 Notably, this sequel does not count toward Tarantino's 00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:28.039 self -imposed limit of 10 films. The rights to 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.379 the original film belong to Sony, allowing Tarantino 00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:34.000 to create a new movie with the same characters. 00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:37.940 The casting is anticipated to be as impressive 00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:42.840 as the original. Well, alrighty folks, it's time 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.809 for the quote of the day. And today... Our quote 00:10:46.809 --> 00:10:49.690 comes from the American military leader and statesman 00:10:49.690 --> 00:10:55.610 Colin Powell. And he said, perpetual optimism 00:10:55.610 --> 00:11:00.710 is a force multiplier. And that's a wrap for 00:11:00.710 --> 00:11:03.450 this morning.
