Founded by brothers Steve and Jude 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.680 Bernard on July 4, 1980, the Hyannis plant now 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.039 produces a mere 4 % of the annual chip volume, 00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:37.680 making it no longer economically viable. The 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.939 closure will affect 49 employees, who will receive 00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:43.719 separation benefits and job placement support 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:53.280 from the company. Now onto sports. Josh Allen's 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.280 walk took his front row seat. For new Buffalo 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.919 Girls head coach, Joe Brady's news conference 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.340 was not quick. He was on crutches with his right 00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:05.840 foot in a walking boot after surgery on a broken 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.659 bone. Allen 29 said the injury stemmed from a 00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:13.039 previous incident aggravated in a week 16 win 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.279 over the Cleveland Browns. He did not miss playing 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.839 time due to the injury. although he described 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.860 it as painful.

Allen emphasized 00:04:32.379 --> 00:04:35.240 a desire to improve and work with Brady moving 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.339 forward. He is also looking forward to becoming 00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:43.879 a dad in local sports.

Despite being 00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:03.800 marked for a rebuilding year, players like Jalen 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.779 Brown and Peyton Pritchard have stepped up, boosting 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:10.500 their scoring significantly. Tatum's recent public 00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.459 workout hints he may return soon. adding to the 00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:15.759 excitement as the trade deadline approaches. 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.800 The Cs are proving they can contend while managing 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.620 their finances effectively. Tonight, they take 00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:29.019 on the Kings at 7 .30 in the garden. In top news, 00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:32.759 Waymo is under scrutiny after an autonomous taxi 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.860 struck a child near a Santa Monica elementary 00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:39.060 school during drop -off, resulting in minor injuries 00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:42.149 to the child. The incident occurred when the 00:05:42.149 --> 00:05:44.790 child ran from behind a parked sport utility 00:05:44.790 --> 00:05:47.589 vehicle into traffic. The vehicle braked hard, 00:05:47.949 --> 00:05:52.689 reducing speed from 17 mph to 6 mph before impact. 00:05:53.709 --> 00:05:57.009 This incident has prompted a federal safety investigation, 00:05:57.410 --> 00:06:00.050 with Waymo asserting that its autonomous system 00:06:00.050 --> 00:06:03.339 prevented more serious injuries. The company 00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:05.740 reported the incident to the National Highway 00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:08.699 Traffic Safety Administration and stated it would 00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:13.720 fully cooperate with the investigation.

These two agencies, which have 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.160 historically sparred over jurisdictional boundaries, 00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:33.980 aimed to harmonize operations and eliminate confusion 00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:38.060 in the market. At an event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins 00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:41.259 and CFTC Chair Michael Selig discussed their 00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:44.000 collaboration on the Project Crypto initiative. 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:48.060 Selig stated, Project Crypto recognizes that 00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:51.500 crypto markets span across our agency's respective 00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.970 regulatory frameworks. This collaboration is 00:06:54.970 --> 00:06:57.810 a repudiation of the previous administration's 00:06:57.810 --> 00:07:01.410 approach towards regulating cryptocurrency. Atkins 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:03.970 emphasized that a federal framework for these 00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:08.629 rapidly evolving markets is long overdue. In 00:07:08.629 --> 00:07:12.410 crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 5 % for the 00:07:12.410 --> 00:07:18.050 week, to about $83 ,000.

The inventory reveals that 00:08:43.309 --> 00:08:46.409 the app is in the deployment stage for both customs 00:08:46.409 --> 00:08:49.450 and border protection and immigration and customs 00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:52.909 enforcement.

Both agencies state 00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:04.549 that the app assists in quickly confirming identities 00:09:04.549 --> 00:09:10.970 in situations with limited information. and in 00:09:10.970 --> 00:09:15.029 entertainment news.
