In local 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.399 sports, Ian Moore scored the tie -breaking goal 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.240 with 3 minutes and 35 seconds remaining, while 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.279 Lucas Dostal made 36 saves in the Ducks. 4 -3 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.019 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night.

Rebecca Vallis, CEO of the National 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.019 Academy of Social Insurance, praised the administration's 00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:51.019 choice to avoid cuts. Concerns remain that changes 00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:53.740 could still affect eligibility for thousands 00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:59.000 of older Americans seeking benefits.

And now, 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.100 back to the show. Let's talk science. A tiny 00:07:50.100 --> 00:07:53.060 ape -like humanoid may still be living in plain 00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:57.079 sight, scientist says. Floris, Indonesia is the 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.819 home of the scientific study of small humans. 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.600 Retired professor Gregory Forth continues to 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.500 proliferate the hope of finding a living Homo 00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:10.519 floresiensis. His book spells out his multi -decade 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.720 search for evidence of a continually living human 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.319 -like species. The scientific community believes 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:21.160 a small species of human known as Homo floresiensis 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.339 once lived on Floris, Indonesia. around 50 ,000 00:08:25.339 --> 00:08:29.060 years ago. Forth thinks these ape -like humanoids 00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:33.220 could still exist, evolution be damned. He has 00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:36.539 studied Homo floresiensis for roughly 40 years. 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.639 Forth's hopes of a living Homo floresiensis were 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.399 emboldened by the finding of fossils roughly 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:52.440 20 years ago. Netflix has informed Warner Bros. 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.399 Discovery Management that it would continue releasing 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.259 the studio's films and theaters if its acquisition 00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:01.019 of the company is successful, Bloomberg News 00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:04.779 reported on Wednesday.

Reuters could not immediately 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.789 verify the report. This news could reshape the 00:09:17.789 --> 00:09:20.529 future of theatrical releases if the acquisition 00:09:20.529 --> 00:09:23.610 proceeds, highlighting Netflix's commitment to 00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:27.809 maintaining traditional cinema experiences.

And he said, The ultimate 00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:49.639 purpose of the Nuremberg Trials was to make the 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.000 law of the future not merely to punish the past. 00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:58.059 And that's a wrap for this morning.
