  news, scientists have sequenced the DNA of the
• 6:31
  last Neanderthal. revealing clues about how our
• 6:34
  ancient relatives disappeared from history. In
• 6:38
  2015, a team led by paleoanthropologist Ludovic
• 6:42
  Slimek discovered jaw remains of a Neanderthal,
• 6:46
  approximately 42 ,000 years old, in Rhone Valley,
• 6:50
  France. Named Thorin, this Neanderthal's lineage
• 6:54
  remained isolated from others, despite living
• 6:57
  near modern humans. The analysis published in
• 7:00
  the journal Cell Genomics confirmed high genetic
• 7:03
  homozygosity, indicating inbreeding, and no evidence
• 7:07
  of interbreeding with contemporary humans. SLIMAX
• 7:12
  stated that this discovery necessitates a complete
• 7:15
  revaluation of our understanding of Neanderthal
• 7:18

• 7:24
  of global pain. stemming from President Trump's
• 7:27
  trade policy, which scrambled the world economy.
• 7:31
  From China to Switzerland, the readjustment to
• 7:34
  double -digit tariffs has been bumpy. Japan's
• 7:38
  economy shrank by almost 2 % on an annualized
• 7:41
  basis in the third quarter. Switzerland's gross
• 7:45
  domestic product in the same period fell by 0
• 7:48
  .5%, the first quarterly drop since 2023. Shipments

  of U .S. soybeans despite promises to buy 12
• 8:05
  million metric tons this year. In crypto movement,
• 8:09
  Bitcoin is down 4 % to about $91 ,000. Ethereum
• 8:15

  and has the potential to change the world. 87
• 9:27
  -year -old Alice Charton, from a suburb of Paris,
• 9:31
  experienced vision loss due to age -related macular
• 9:34
  degeneration. This disease affects 200 million
• 9:38
  people globally, impairing central vision without
• 9:41
  causing blindness. A revolutionary procedure
• 9:44
  called Prima, developed by Science Corporation,
• 9:48
  has restored some vision for patients like Chartin.

  The future of brain -computer interfaces holds
• 10:01
  promise for enhancing abilities and restoring
• 10:04
  functions for many. And in entertainment news...
• 10:11
  Disney and YouTube TV reached a deal late last
• 10:14
  week after a lengthy blackout. The two sides
• 10:17
  were divided on how much Disney's networks, like
• 10:20
  ESPN, are worth. Sports fans can expect similar
• 10:25
  carriage disputes in 2026. Disney's long -running
• 10:30
  fight with YouTube TV is over as channels, including
• 10:33
  ESPN, return on Friday night after a 15 -day
• 10:37
  blackout. However, Disney warned that more blackouts
• 10:41
  may be ahead due to expiring contracts with paid
• 10:44
  TV providers. Analyst Alan Wolk predicts that
• 10:48
  disputes will become commonplace in 2026. As
• 10:53
  the court -cutting movement continues, fewer
• 10:55
  people have paid TV subscriptions, leaving die
• 10:58
  -hard fans as the main customers. Disney argues
• 11:02
  that its valuable sports rights make its networks
• 11:05
  essential. Some customers may gawk at rising
• 11:08
  monthly bills. YouTube TD had leverage due to
• 11:12
  its parent company Google. Companies like Charter
• 11:16
  are adapting by bundling streaming services,
• 11:18
  which has helped slow their cord -cutting rates.
• 11:22
  Media giants must secure value for their networks,
• 11:25
  while TV providers have reasons to resist, leading
• 11:28
  to potential conflicts in 2026. Well, all righty,
• 11:33
  folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
