Speaker 1: When we were in Paris, they have these weird little

Speaker 1: in and use the restroom, and there was It's weird
Speaker 1: because it's not even a full door. It's like a
Speaker 1: swinging door, and so you step in and the door closes,
Speaker 1: and then you can see people's legs from underneath, and
Speaker 1: then you can also see the stream of urine coming
Speaker 1: out of it.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in Hollywood, what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say good morning now at five oh seven two,
Speaker 1: ABC's investigative reporter Peter Haralambus, Good morning, Peter.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 5: Amy has its own good.
Speaker 1: So, this trial feels as like it's been just going
Speaker 1: on forever, but the trial of Sean Comb's is finally
Speaker 1: coming to a close.
Speaker 4: Where are we now, Yeah, it's finally ending. We're entering
Speaker 4: closing statements today and tomorrow. It's been over thirty days
Speaker 4: of testimony, thirty four different witnesses, and today we're going
Speaker 4: to hear four hours of closing statements from prosecutors. They've
Speaker 4: tried to prove that Combs used his business empire as
Speaker 4: really a criminal organization, and there wars saying that he
Speaker 4: used that the Coorset woman into sex and then used
Speaker 4: violence and threats to keep them quiet to protect his reputation.
Speaker 4: That's going to be followed by three hours of defense
Speaker 4: closings on Friday morning, then a very lengthy charge conference.
Speaker 4: It's possible that the jury doesn't put in their deliberations
Speaker 4: until Monday morning at this point.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, and before everybody rested their case or whatever,
Speaker 1: Combs did not take the stand, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. His team didn't even put on much
Speaker 4: of a defense case. They called no witnesses for about
Speaker 4: an hour. They showed the jury some evidence that they
Speaker 4: put into the record, but otherwise Combs declined the right
Speaker 4: to testify in his own defense and basically left the
Speaker 4: burden all on the prosecutors for this case.
Speaker 1: Okay, and there are several charges on the table. The
Speaker 1: jury's going to have to decide on all of them.
Speaker 1: So and are they going to have do they? What
Speaker 1: are their options?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So they have five choices here. The first and the
Speaker 4: most serious talent is the racketeer at conspiracy. That's the
Speaker 4: idea that Comb's conspired with others at least two other
Speaker 4: crimes that carries the possibility of life in prison, and
Speaker 4: that applies to all the victims in the case. The
Speaker 4: next four counts are two counts of sex trafficking and
Speaker 4: two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The first
Speaker 4: half relates Cassie Ventura, the second half relates to the
Speaker 4: victim known as Jane, that's one of Combs's ex girlfriends. Basically,
Speaker 4: if they convict on that top count or sex trafficking,
Speaker 4: Comeb's face of the possibility of life in prison. If
Speaker 4: they convict only on the lower counts, that transportation to
Speaker 4: engage in prostitution count, it's a much lighter sentence. We're
Speaker 4: looking at perhaps two to four years for Comb. So
Speaker 4: it really matters how they look at this case. There's
Speaker 4: a world in which even gets convicted and that's still
Speaker 4: a win for his team because he's only convicted on
Speaker 4: the lower counts.
Speaker 1: Okay, and didn't prosecutor yesterday Peter drop some of the charges.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they kind of they tried to streamline their
Speaker 4: case yesterday. So basically, when it comes to that racketeering count,
Speaker 4: they need to prove that Comb's committed two underlying crimes,
Speaker 4: and they gave the jury originally a list of nine
Speaker 4: different predicate acts that that could be included. They ultimately
Speaker 4: whittled that down slightly. They got rid of the attempt
Speaker 4: at arson for example, and the attempted kidnapping predicates, kind
Speaker 4: of taking those off the table for the jury to count.
Speaker 4: But there was still a ton of different options. At
Speaker 4: the end of the day, the real the actual count,
Speaker 4: the criminal's charge of sex trafficking is still on the
Speaker 4: table for this jury. They just have a fewer options
Speaker 4: to actually get to that point when it comes to
Speaker 4: the actual underlying crimes that comes committed.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you know, we've kind of not seen but
Speaker 1: we've gotten the sanitized view of this. But the jury
Speaker 1: in this case has gotten an eyeful and an earful
Speaker 1: They've looked at videos of the freak offs and all
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So I know that we talked about
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. The prosecution has pretty
Speaker 1: much shown that Sean Combs is not a good guy.
Speaker 1: But do you think they've proved that he's a criminal?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the big question here. I think at the
Speaker 4: end of the day, it's you know, that's all I
Speaker 4: from the jury for that. I think they've shown an
Speaker 4: overwhelming amount of evidence here for some of the under
Speaker 4: some of those lower counts, right, And I think that
Speaker 4: might be where the defense gets a win in that,
Speaker 4: Like it's hard to dispute, for example, that he paid
Speaker 4: for me al escorts to travel across state lines for
Speaker 4: the purposes of sex. The jury has seen the records,
Speaker 4: the defense has kind of openly admitted that he engaged
Speaker 4: in this kind of sexual activity. So I think that
Speaker 4: that's kind of an easier question for the jury. Then
Speaker 4: the more complicated, you know, was all of this coercive question,
Speaker 4: because that's really the underlying question for the racketeering and
Speaker 4: this sex trafficking account. Did these women engage in this
Speaker 4: willfully or was this something that comes force them into
Speaker 4: That's a line that we've seen blurred throughout this case,
Speaker 4: this question of consentrous coercion. And I think it's really
Speaker 4: up to these closing statements so the prosecutors and the
Speaker 4: defense to tie together the overwhelming amount of evidence we've seen.
Speaker 4: I think to a certain degree, the jury is tired
Speaker 4: of hearing all of this stuff.
Speaker 5: It exhau.
Speaker 4: I think these closing statements will really matter in terms
Speaker 4: of putting it together cohesively in a story that they
Speaker 4: believe and they're willing to act on when it comes
Speaker 4: to convicting or quitting.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got closing arguments today and tomorrow.
Speaker 4: That's right, And there's a possibility we begin to liberations
Speaker 4: on Friday, but more likely it begins on two on
Speaker 4: Monday morning.
Speaker 1: All right, ABC's Peter har Alambus, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the update and the information.

Speaker 1: program was severely damaged in the air strikes. Speaking of
Speaker 1: Iran and Israel, let's say good morning now to ABC's
Speaker 1: Geordana Miller in Jerusalem.
Speaker 3: Down before we kind.
Speaker 1: Of get started with what's going on now between Iran
Speaker 1: and Israel, I wanted to just ask you, because you're
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. Has it been quiet for a couple of
Speaker 1: days since the ceasefire and how how are people around
Speaker 1: you feeling?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 9: It has been quiet. We had a second night with
Speaker 9: no air raid sirens, and there's no no Israeli military
Speaker 9: operations in Iran. I mean, the ceasefire is holding. And
Speaker 9: I think there's a great sense of relief, you know,
Speaker 9: when I run into my neighbors or you know, the
Speaker 9: man at the grocery store I've known for years. You know,
Speaker 9: people just feel relieved. They believe that Israel came out
Speaker 9: on top, that the air force here performed very well,
Speaker 9: and that the operation really could went as well as
Speaker 9: it could have and even better. Uh that they feel
Speaker 9: that the threat from Iran now has been greatly reduced.
Speaker 5: Is it gone? No?
Speaker 9: But whereas many Israelis worried that there could be an
Speaker 9: imminent threat from Iran, right and not only because of
Speaker 9: the gods of war, but also because of its rapidly
Speaker 9: progressing nuclear weapons program, that fear has been allayed, right,
Speaker 9: And you know, the sense is that, you know, time
Speaker 9: will tell for how long, but certainly for Israelis, they
Speaker 9: think it's you know, they've got a few years now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would imagine you kind of you must
Speaker 1: have some sort of and I don't know because I've
Speaker 1: never lived through being awakened by sirens, but some sort
Speaker 1: of like a PTSD about it, like you're just kind
Speaker 1: of even though, like you said, there's sort of this relief,
Speaker 1: you just have to be like going, oh God, when
Speaker 1: are they going to go off next?
Speaker 3: Like that isn't that?
Speaker 1: Is that weighing on the back of your mind or
Speaker 1: y'all just kind of go, nope, we're good now, right.
Speaker 9: So I think what happens is that there's a kind
Speaker 9: of exhaustion that sets in afterwards, because you've been on
Speaker 9: adrenaline on some level trying to cope with the situation
Speaker 9: and bring some sense of normalcy to a very abnormal situation.
Speaker 9: Suddenly your kids are home, right, You're up in the
Speaker 9: middle of the night. You know, you have to deal
Speaker 9: with the kind of initial spike in adrenaline when you
Speaker 9: hear your phone go off this very loud noise, you know,
Speaker 9: and you look at your phone it says, you know,
Speaker 9: emergency alert, right, and then it rings again and again right,
Speaker 9: and you have to turn it off and get everyone there.
Speaker 9: I think that now that we know, there is going
Speaker 9: to be some extended period of quiet, hopefully for a
Speaker 9: long time now. I think people feel exhausted, right, and
Speaker 9: it's an exhaustion from not only twelve days, but almost
Speaker 9: two years of this war. Right, So I personally feel
Speaker 9: tired from it all, and I know that my neighbors do.
Speaker 9: And now you know, everyone's like, okay, okay, we're almost there. Now,
Speaker 9: let's just end the Gaza war, right, Yeah, that's the
Speaker 9: next thing on the list. If we can end the
Speaker 9: Gaza war, get the hostages home, there will feel better.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you real quick about you know,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon's holding a briefing now talking about the air strikes.
Speaker 1: That preliminary report came out and said, you know what,
Speaker 1: they didn't do that much damage. But Israel's Atomic Energy
Speaker 1: Commission came out and said, no, the bunker busters did
Speaker 1: severe damage.
Speaker 3: So what's the latest on that.
Speaker 9: That's right, that's right. The Israel Atomic Agency came out
Speaker 9: with the statement late yesterday saying that the US strikes
Speaker 9: were very effective and that they severely damaged for Now
Speaker 9: and the other centers, right.
Speaker 5: Because we've forg get.
Speaker 9: The United States also hit the tents in Isfahan, and
Speaker 9: the agency said that they were severely damaged. And now inoperable.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 9: So you know the Israel Atomic Agency you literated destroyed, right,
Speaker 9: But they said they are severely damaged and they can't
Speaker 9: be used and it'll take years to rebuild them. And
Speaker 9: that's really what the Israelis needed. You know, the bar
Speaker 9: of demolishing and you know everything's in rubble is not
Speaker 9: necessarily the definition of success. Right. They needed to knock
Speaker 9: the program out and make it so they couldn't really
Speaker 9: rebuild it. And the Israelis are saying, we did that
Speaker 9: with the help of the United States, and the United
Speaker 9: States strikes on Fordau were essential to the success of
Speaker 9: the mission. Now, the Israelis say, we know that from
Speaker 9: our own intel, right, And they're not going to give
Speaker 9: us all the details, but we can assume, right, based
Speaker 9: on the way their intelligence played out during the twelve days,
Speaker 9: that Israel has plenty of eyes and ears and probably
Speaker 9: right spies on the ground there in Iran and knows
Speaker 9: what they're talking about. You know, as one source said
Speaker 9: to me, if the US strikes were not as successful
Speaker 9: as Israel needed, Israel would have bombed for Dow again
Speaker 9: and again and again.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: They would have added on to the strikes if they
Speaker 9: felt that the damage was not done, and that's one
Speaker 9: one sign that they think, you know, it was successful.
Speaker 1: All right, abcster Donna Miller in Jerusalem. I hope you
Speaker 1: can rest a little easy, and we'll look forward to
Speaker 1: talking to you soon.
Speaker 3: All right, take care, great, talk soon, all right.

Speaker 1: We went last Friday, and I mean it just looks
Speaker 1: pretty dressed up.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 1: They put some overlays on stuff, and they've got banners
Speaker 1: hanging Happy birthdayre on the Castle and down Main Street
Speaker 1: and that.
Speaker 3: Kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: They do have like some special menu items, which is
Speaker 1: always fun because again Neil and I talk about this
Speaker 1: all the time, the food at Disneyland has gotten so good,
Speaker 1: so they have some special food items, so be sure
Speaker 1: to look for those because they'll post them around. And
Speaker 1: the characters, similar to Christmas time, have special outfits, so
Speaker 1: if you have a picture with Mickey and Minnie already,
Speaker 1: you can get a new one with a new outfit
Speaker 1: on of course, there's seventieth merchandise.
Speaker 3: They've got this great baseball jersey. I got to go
Speaker 3: back and get it.
Speaker 1: I think spirit Jersey's ears hats that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and they have three new dining packages for the seventieth
Speaker 1: and that's where we landed for our visit to Disneyland.
Speaker 1: So there's there's the Paint the Night dining package at
Speaker 1: the Plaza Inn, which includes lunch, and then you get
Speaker 1: reserved few viewing for the Paint the Night Parade, which
Speaker 1: is always a great thing because you know, if you're
Speaker 1: going to watch the parades, you do have to kind
Speaker 1: of line up really early, so the reserved viewing is
Speaker 1: kind of a little treat. There's Donald's Tales of Adventure
Speaker 1: Buffet at Storyteller Cafe, which is in Disney's Grand California
Speaker 1: Hotel and Spa, and you get to meet some of
Speaker 1: the characters, so that's fun. And then the one we
Speaker 1: got was the Docking Bay seven Food and Cargo Nighttime Gathering.
Speaker 3: So here's the deal.
Speaker 1: We go to Batuo, which is Galaxy's Edge, and you
Speaker 1: go into Docking Bay and you get a full on
Speaker 1: dinner and dessert, and then it's kind of like all
Speaker 1: you can all you can have specialty drinks and that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. If you want wine like I had,
Speaker 1: you have to pay for that, but other than that,
Speaker 1: it's all all you can eat, and there's there's a
Speaker 1: couple really fun. There's this cold brew that I think
Speaker 1: has I don't think I'm supposed to say, but it's
Speaker 1: got cocoa puffs in it.
Speaker 3: Basically it's delicious, really good.
Speaker 1: The food was really good, solid, and then you get
Speaker 1: a viewing section for the fireworks show. And the fireworks
Speaker 1: at Batuo is so great because it's the same fireworks
Speaker 1: show that you see if you're on Main Street, except
Speaker 1: you're in a different you're on a different planet, you're
Speaker 1: in a different place, and so your vantage point is different.
Speaker 1: And they have Star Wars music, so it's all Star
Speaker 1: Wars themed and it's just so cool, and people bring
Speaker 1: their lightsabers and that kind of stuff, and it's just
Speaker 1: really a cool way to experience Disneyland in a new way.
Speaker 1: I always love that there's always new and fun things
Speaker 1: to discover, and that was that was our food, fun,
Speaker 1: new discovery.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put up.
Speaker 1: Some pictures on my Instagram at amy Kking and would
Speaker 1: love for you to go check it out and would
Speaker 1: love for you to follow me again.
Speaker 3: It's at amy Kking.

Speaker 1: day with a special three day, one park, per day visit.
Speaker 3: Or there's also a.
Speaker 1: One hundred dollars per day, four day, one park, per
Speaker 1: day ticket, so you go go to Disneyland one day
Speaker 1: and then go back and go to California Adventure Park
Speaker 1: one day, and then go back and go to Disneyland
Speaker 1: one day. Anyway, check out it because they do have
Speaker 1: some good deals if you want a little a little
Speaker 1: bit of a bargain, and it's a great way, a
Speaker 1: great way to spend a day time to get in

Speaker 1: again this morning.
Speaker 3: Morning.

Speaker 10: knowing and I'm going to be talking to you. Oh,
Speaker 10: I know, I miss you.
Speaker 1: You're only three thousand miles away.
Speaker 3: You know it's a short, short trip. Yes, are you melting?
Speaker 10: I have been struggling yes, this week, it's it's been
Speaker 10: really brutal outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a different kind of heat than in LA
Speaker 1: when you're in New York City, right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, it's a little thing called humidity.
Speaker 3: It just makes things a whole lot worse.
Speaker 1: It always reminds me of friends and Monica when they
Speaker 1: went down to the Caribbean or something.
Speaker 3: Yes, and the frizz that her hair turned into. Yeah,
Speaker 3: now imagine my face. Oh yeah, okay, let's get.
Speaker 1: Your business now.
Speaker 3: And the buzz is on the Nike snowfur. What's a snowfer?
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, snowfur is basically a sneaker loafer, and demand
Speaker 10: over a Nike's new snowfer is pushing resale prices past
Speaker 10: five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: And it isn't even out yet.
Speaker 10: It's on your but I know, well those are on
Speaker 10: resale site, so it could even it could go even higher.
Speaker 3: We don't know yet, but it drops tomorrow.
Speaker 10: It's called the Airmax phenomena, and it's basically like Nike's
Speaker 10: version of a mullet because it looks like a penny
Speaker 10: loafer on top and a sneaker on the bottom, and
Speaker 10: it is expected to help Nike help those sagging sales
Speaker 10: that it's been suffering from all year.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, I got it. Wait where did it go?
Speaker 3: I was gonna look for it. Oh you were looking
Speaker 3: it up? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's okay.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's got the classic air max you know, look
Speaker 10: on the bottom and then it looked it's like appending
Speaker 10: a little for on top.
Speaker 3: So if you want to wear them to work and
Speaker 3: be comfortable all day, great.
Speaker 1: Interesting, So just cost you Yeah, what are they retailing
Speaker 1: for now?
Speaker 10: You know what?
Speaker 3: I don't know yet.
Speaker 10: Oh okay, but they're reselling for five they're reselling yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: on a lot of these stock X and and all
Speaker 10: these all these sites.
Speaker 3: Okay, they grap them up. Okay.
Speaker 1: And speaking of shoes, they're going to design some shoes
Speaker 1: in space.
Speaker 10: Yes, there's a footwear startup called Scintilla. It's backed by
Speaker 10: one of the co founders of Rebok, and the company
Speaker 10: is now partnering with two space companies to design a
Speaker 10: shoe in orbit, which means that astronauts are going to
Speaker 10: be using AI and something called blockchain technology to design it.
Speaker 10: They send that design back to Earth, they get it
Speaker 10: three D printed, and then those shoes will sell for
Speaker 10: about two hundred bucks. And the goal here is to
Speaker 10: shift production off the planet because they want to reduce
Speaker 10: carbon footprints here on Earth. So they're going to launch
Speaker 10: that early next year on a SpaceX Falcon nine rocket.
Speaker 3: Pretty cool, alrighty. Some shoes that are out of this world.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a side hustle, as so
Speaker 1: many people are, Spirit Spirit Halloween is hiring.
Speaker 3: It's only you know, a few months away.
Speaker 10: Crazy because we're talking about the brutal heat right now
Speaker 10: in June. But yeah, Spirit Halloween already gearing up for
Speaker 10: spooky season. The pop up retailer has about fifty thousand
Speaker 10: jobs that are going to be available at fifteen hundred
Speaker 10: locations nationwide, including California.
Speaker 3: So the store is.
Speaker 10: Typically open in August, and that's when most US consumers
Speaker 10: start shopping for all their Fall and Halloween decorations, costumes,
Speaker 10: all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: It'd be a fun place to work, all right, getting
Speaker 1: in your business as we do every morning at five
Speaker 1: point forty today with Bloomberg's Monica Rix.
Speaker 3: Thanks Monica, always a pleasure. I'll see you tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 1: By more than sixteen hundred immigrants have been detained since
Speaker 1: ice rad started in southern California. The US Department of
Speaker 1: Homeland Security says they've been detained between June sixth and
Speaker 1: last Sunday. President Trump has doubled down on his claims
Speaker 1: that Arounds nuclear program obliterated by US air strikes. He's
Speaker 1: been pushing back against preliminary reports that said Iran's nuclear
Speaker 1: program was only set back months, not years. Drug overdose
Speaker 1: deaths have dropped in La County. Public health officials say
Speaker 1: overdose deaths drop twenty two, twenty four. That's the biggest
Speaker 1: drop in drug related deaths in La County history. A
Speaker 1: spokesperson largely credits in the locksone. That's the drug used
Speaker 1: to counter overdoses. We're just minutes away from Handle on
Speaker 1: the news this morning, and Handle's got lots to say.
Speaker 1: I bet Tom Holman has a stark warning for the
Speaker 1: guy who is the Democratic nominee for New York City's mayor.
Speaker 3: He says, it's game on. Bill's gonna tell you about that.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the California Regional executive
Speaker 1: director of the National Wildlife Federation, Beth Pratt.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Beth.
Speaker 5: Good morning Amy, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're hitting another big benchmark in the construction
Speaker 1: of the wall Us Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. I call it
Speaker 1: the Annenberg Wallace earlier, but it's a Walla's Annenberg Wildlife
Speaker 1: Crossing's what's about to start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really amazing. I've been working on this project
Speaker 5: almost fourteen years and to think we're now just lower
Speaker 5: a year out from completion. So stage one, which is
Speaker 5: over the freeway. That structure's been completed twenty six million
Speaker 5: pounds of concrete board and as you know, we have
Speaker 5: soil on top and the plants will go on top
Speaker 5: of that structure fall. But what we're moving towards is
Speaker 5: extending for state. The final stage, extending that structure over
Speaker 5: the Agore Road which runs parallel to the freeway. We
Speaker 5: have to do so we have to underground some utility
Speaker 5: lines which run in between where you know the one
Speaker 5: on one structures and whether your gore structure needs to go,
Speaker 5: and then we will be open for business for a
Speaker 5: whild life's next year. It's really exciting to contemplate.
Speaker 3: Open for business. I love that.
Speaker 1: And this next phase of the bridge or the overpass
Speaker 1: whatever is it's a little bit tricky and I was
Speaker 1: reading the press release. It says that going over the
Speaker 1: two lanes is going to be trickier than going over
Speaker 1: the ten lanes of the one on one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know a lot most wildlife crossings are in
Speaker 5: the middle of nowhere, and they build them where it
Speaker 5: is easiest to engineer. This is all. We had sixteen
Speaker 5: hundred feet of protective space left in that entire region
Speaker 5: on that freeway, and it was not an easy site.
Speaker 5: You know, the one oh one structure was kind of
Speaker 5: a straight shot right over the freeway, but this one
Speaker 5: is much trickier. The slope is something that we have
Speaker 5: to move earth and get down so the animals you
Speaker 5: wouldn't be going straight up the hill. But even more importantly,
Speaker 5: there is a creek right there watershed as well as
Speaker 5: many many heritage oaks, and so we need to thread
Speaker 5: and angle that crossing in between those so that we
Speaker 5: maintain the watershed and preserve the oak.
Speaker 3: Got to be careful with the environment.
Speaker 1: So you've got you mentioned that you've got dirt across
Speaker 1: the ten lane crossing. Now have any animals been kind
Speaker 1: of sniffing it out? Like, Hey, what's that?
Speaker 3: Could I cross?
Speaker 5: Now? I'm so glad you asked that I was actually
Speaker 5: up there last week and saw a Western sense lizard,
Speaker 5: and at first I didn't think anything of it. Western
Speaker 5: sense lizards are one of the most common animals you
Speaker 5: see in California. But then I'm like, wait a minute,
Speaker 5: this western census is on top of the crossing. And
Speaker 5: this is remarkable for two reasons. One is a the
Speaker 5: crossing's not connected to the landscape yet. We obviously don't
Speaker 5: want the animals on a bridge to nowhere. So this
Speaker 5: little guy, although Western sense lizards can climb that, you know,
Speaker 5: I had to climb up a significant concrete wall to
Speaker 5: get there. It's the only way to access it. But
Speaker 5: the other reason that is significant is we are building
Speaker 5: this wildlife crossing from everything from mountain lines to monarch butterflies,
Speaker 5: and the National Park Service and other people's research, you know,
Speaker 5: showed that mountain lines were genetically fragmenting because of this freeway.
Speaker 5: Their research also showed that Western sense wizards were doing
Speaker 5: the same. So he is another representative of animals impacted
Speaker 5: by this. And hey, that is one small step for
Speaker 5: lizard kind.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, all creatures great and small can use this.
Speaker 1: And then my one last question for you I think
Speaker 1: we may have talked about this and I think I said,
Speaker 1: you know, if you build it, they will come. Are
Speaker 1: you going to do anything to attract the animals to
Speaker 1: the crossing or will they just find it on their own?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really good question. I will say that overall,
Speaker 5: animals really seek these crossings out, you know, and word
Speaker 5: really does get out in the animal world, like, hey,
Speaker 5: safe path is this way. There was a famous video
Speaker 5: of a badger and a coyote teaching each other how
Speaker 5: to use an underground culvert. But with decades of wildlife crossings,
Speaker 5: we also know what works to help them find it,
Speaker 5: and one of the biggest things we do is what
Speaker 5: we call exclusionary. They will be fencing about two miles
Speaker 5: on the freeway either way to cut off their options
Speaker 5: and basically we'll lead them right there.
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, And if all goes according to plan, we're
Speaker 1: still looking at and opening next year and the next
Speaker 1: phase is starting soon. Thanks so much, A Beth Prat
Speaker 1: for giving us an update. I can't wait for this,
Speaker 1: It's been so long in coming here. It's just I bet,
Speaker 1: I bet you guys are working on it day, every day,
Speaker 1: so it's very exciting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to feel good when that first mountain
Speaker 5: line passes.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, am, all right, we'll talk to
Speaker 3: you again soon. Thanks Beth.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Iran's supreme leader
Speaker 1: is speaking out for the first time since the ceasefire
Speaker 1: with Israel. ABC's Jonathan Carl says Ayatola Ali kame and
Speaker 1: A is still in hiding.
Speaker 11: He delivered a televised address in Iran claiming a great
Speaker 11: victory for Iran in this battle. He says, the Islamic
Speaker 11: Republic emerged victorious and delivered a harsh slap to America's face.
Speaker 1: Cowmany has also downplayed the US air strikes on Iranian
Speaker 1: nuclear sites, saying President Trump is exaggerating their impact. The
Speaker 1: Lacity councils approved a new four year contract for fire
Speaker 1: department chief officers, including an incremental fifteen percent pay raise
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty eight. The contract also boosts health subsidies
Speaker 1: and adds new leave policies. Official city agreement's going to
Speaker 1: cost the city more than thirteen million dollars. A bear
Speaker 1: that broke into a locked trailer in South Lake Tahoe
Speaker 1: has been euthanized. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Speaker 1: says the bear broke into the trailer at Emerald Bay
Speaker 1: State Park last weekend and attacked a woman oak inside.
Speaker 1: She's recovering in the hospital. The bear had several run
Speaker 1: ins with people and had broken into several homes and vehicles.
Speaker 1: Cooling is coming for more than one hundred million Americans
Speaker 1: who've been sweating through a brutal heat wave. Forecasters say
Speaker 1: temperatures are starting to fall in the Northeast, where places
Speaker 1: like New York and New England have seen record high temperatures.
Speaker 1: The heat is still on in the mid Atlantic and Southeast,
Speaker 1: but temper are cooling a bit as we head into
Speaker 1: the weekend. Europeans apparently still pretty upset with Elon Musk.
Speaker 12: Tesla sales in Europe plunged for a fifth month in
Speaker 12: a row in May. The European Automobile Manufacturers Association said
Speaker 12: the drop of twenty eight percent last month in thirty
Speaker 12: European countries came even as the overall market for electric
Speaker 12: vehicles expanded sharply. The poor showing comes after Tesla's billionaire
Speaker 12: CEO promised a major rebound was coming soon. Musk has
Speaker 12: angered Europeans by embracing far right wing politicians and elections there.
