• 5:30
  has announced a second, broader recall of several
• 5:33
  portable power bank models due to potential fire
• 5:36
  hazards linked to lithium -ion batteries. This
• 5:40
  follows an earlier recall of over 1 million units.
• 5:44
  The company cited enhanced quality control measures
• 5:47
  that revealed additional risks from a single
• 5:50
  vendor's battery cells. Although the likelihood
• 5:53
  of malfunction is minimal, Anker is initiating
• 5:56
  a voluntary global recall. The latest recall
• 6:00
  includes five models, with customers urged to
• 6:03
  stop using them immediately. Affected units can
• 6:07
  be replaced or exchanged for a gift card, but
• 6:10
  must be disposed of properly. In business news,
• 6:15
  Zillow's new real estate blacklist takes effect
• 6:19
  on June 30, impacting how homebuyers search for

  properties. Starting Monday, Zillow will ban
• 6:27
  listings that agents promote without sharing
• 6:29
  them in local databases within one business day.

  This change targets the issue of exclusive inventory,
• 6:37
  where properties are advertised in limited venues.
• 6:40
  With legal disputes intensifying, especially
• 6:43
  from Compass, buyers and sellers must navigate
• 6:47
  this evolving landscape carefully. Consumers

  should understand their agents' marketing strategies

  Let's talk tech. Amazon .com is nearing a significant
• 8:19
  milestone in its warehouses, with a number of
• 8:22
  robots soon matching that of human workers. The
• 8:27
  e -commerce giant has deployed over 1 million
• 8:29
  robots, enhancing productivity and easing staffing
• 8:33
  issues. Automation has replaced menial tasks
• 8:37
  with skilled roles as workers transition to overseeing
• 8:41
  robotic systems. Amazon is also implementing
• 8:45
  artificial intelligence to improve operations.
• 8:49
  While the company continues to hire, it plans
• 8:52
  to reduce its overall workforce. The rapid integration
• 8:56
  of robotics is transforming labor markets, raising
• 9:00
  concerns about long -term employment impacts
• 9:02
  in high -density facilities. And in entertainment
• 9:08
  news, a scripted adaptation of the Karen Reid
• 9:13
  murder case is in development following her recent
• 9:16
  acquittal. LBI Productions is collaborating with
• 9:21
  Reed and her defense attorney, Alan Jackson,
• 9:24
  to create a project that promises to reveal details
• 9:27
  previously undisclosed. On June 18th, a jury
• 9:31
  found Reed not guilty of second -degree murder
• 9:34
  and manslaughter in the death of her boyfriend,
• 9:36
  Boston Police Officer John O 'Keefe, while convicting
• 9:40
  her of a lesser charge of drunken driving. The
• 9:44
  project aims to explore the complexities of the
• 9:46
  case and the cultural debates surrounding it,
• 9:49
  emphasizing the struggle against perceived corruption.
• 9:53
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
• 9:57
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:00
  American writer and philosopher, Henry Adams.
• 10:05
  And he said, Chaos was the law of nature. Order
• 10:10
  was the dream of man. And that's a wrap for this
