  humanity, and the laws of war. The trials established

  adopting, this is a great moment. Now onto sports.
• 3:44
  The NBA season is in full swing and teams are
• 3:48
  starting to reveal their true potential. In the
• 3:51
  Western Conference, the defending champion funder
• 3:54
  and the improved nuggets are clear contenders.
• 3:58
  In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers and
• 4:00
  Knicks stand out as potential title threats.
• 4:04
  Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit
• 4:07
  Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and Milwaukee Bucks
• 4:10
  are one move away from being serious contenders.
• 4:15
  Each team has specific trade targets to enhance
• 4:18
  their chances of winning the NBA title. In local
• 4:22
  sports, Ian Moore scored the tie -breaking goal
• 4:26
  with 3 minutes and 35 seconds remaining, while
• 4:30
  Lucas Dostal made 36 saves in the Ducks. 4 -3

• 4:56
  are now on a four -game road swing, facing their
• 4:59
  third loss in four games. The Bruins will face
• 5:02
  the King's Friday night. In top news, the Social
• 5:09
  Security Administration has scrapped plans to
• 5:11
  limit disability benefits after significant backlash
• 5:15
  from older Americans. This decision followed
• 5:19
  an article in the Washington Post that reported
• 5:21
  potential loss of benefits for many. Commissioner
• 5:25
  Frank Visignano assured advocates that the controversial
• 5:28
  proposal would not proceed. Advocates celebrated
• 5:33
  the decision, emphasizing the importance of Social
• 5:36
  Security Disability Insurance for those unable
• 5:39
  to work. Rebecca Vallis, CEO of the National
• 5:43
  Academy of Social Insurance, praised the administration's
• 5:47
  choice to avoid cuts. Concerns remain that changes
• 5:51
  could still affect eligibility for thousands
• 5:53
  of older Americans seeking benefits. In business

• 7:45
  back to the show. Let's talk science. A tiny
• 7:50
  ape -like humanoid may still be living in plain
• 7:53
  sight, scientist says. Floris, Indonesia is the
• 7:57
  home of the scientific study of small humans.
• 8:00
  Retired professor Gregory Forth continues to
• 8:03
  proliferate the hope of finding a living Homo
• 8:06
  floresiensis. His book spells out his multi -decade
• 8:10
  search for evidence of a continually living human
• 8:13
  -like species. The scientific community believes
• 8:17
  a small species of human known as Homo floresiensis
• 8:21
  once lived on Floris, Indonesia. around 50 ,000
• 8:25
  years ago. Forth thinks these ape -like humanoids
• 8:29
  could still exist, evolution be damned. He has
• 8:33
  studied Homo floresiensis for roughly 40 years.
• 8:37
  Forth's hopes of a living Homo floresiensis were
• 8:40
  emboldened by the finding of fossils roughly
• 8:43
  20 years ago. Netflix has informed Warner Bros.
• 8:52
  Discovery Management that it would continue releasing
• 8:55
  the studio's films and theaters if its acquisition
• 8:58
  of the company is successful, Bloomberg News
• 9:01
  reported on Wednesday. The existing theatrical
• 9:04
  release contracts of Warner Bros. would be honored,
• 9:07
  according to the report, which cited sources
• 9:10
  familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately
• 9:14
  verify the report. This news could reshape the
• 9:17
  future of theatrical releases if the acquisition
• 9:20
  proceeds, highlighting Netflix's commitment to
• 9:23
  maintaining traditional cinema experiences. Stay
• 9:27
  tuned for further updates on this developing
• 9:30
  story. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the
• 9:35
  quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
• 9:38
  from the American lawyer and Supreme Court justice,
• 9:42
  Robert H. Jackson. And he said, The ultimate
• 9:47
  purpose of the Nuremberg Trials was to make the
• 9:49
  law of the future not merely to punish the past.
