All right, here's what's ahead 48 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.080 on wakeup call. Dozens of people had to be rescued 49 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.800 from beaches as temperatures soared during the weekend heat wave. 50 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.800 Lifeguards say they responded to numerous heat related incidents, prompting 51 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.800 officials to urge caution and hydration during the extreme weather. 52 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.840 And the Lazoo is facing a lawsuit over plans to 53 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.120 move its elephants, Billy and Tina to a zoo in Tulsa, 54 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.080 and the sue calls for an injunction, arguing the animals 55 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.479 should go to a sanctuary instead. In Florida, two kids, 56 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.400 a ten year old Jabbari Solomon and four year old 57 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.319 Charlie Rivieria, lost their lives when a Dodge Durango driven 58 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.159 by Miami Hurricanes linebacker Adarius Hayes collided with their families Kia. 59 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.439 Seventy eight year old woman, the driver of the Kia, 60 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.080 also died. Hayes sustained non life threatening injuries. Please say 61 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.199 there was no signs of any impairment. And here's what's ahead. 62 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.360 On wake up call at five oh five, your house 63 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.199 might be sinking, and not because of a bad foundation. 64 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.400 A new study reveals what's really happening beneath our feet 65 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.159 and why it's way worse than we thought. At five 66 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.439 point twenty, a potential breakthrough in the Israel Hamas conflict. 67 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.479 Amma says the release of American Israeli soldier Eden Alexander 68 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.240 is part of a step towards a broader ceasefire. And 69 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.400 at five point thirty five, she wrote a student op 70 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.120 ed and ended up in a detention center. The story 71 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.039 of rumescia os Turk, a Turkish grad student, raises major 72 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.240 questions about immigration, free speech, and how far the Trump 73 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.800 administration is willing to go. At five point fifty, they've 74 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.039 opened for comedy and music legends, earned praise from Jack Black, 75 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.520 and built a cult following in just under two years. 76 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.680 We'll talk to the Wolves of Glendale about the band's 77 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:48.879 meteoric rise and the serious musicians ship behind their not 78 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.960 so serious songs. Then it's six zh five. It's handle 79 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.759 on the news. The White House says they've reached a 80 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.960 trade deal with China, as the two countries negotiated for 81 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.599 a second day in Switzerland. We're going to tell you 82 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.199 which has to say about that. Let's get started with 83 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:03.800 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 84 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.240 five our newsroom. A seventeen year old has been arrested 85 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.280 for allegedly killing a twelve year old in Compton. 86 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.439 The suspect was arrested in Los Angeles on Sunday morning, 87 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.000 less than two days after the younger boy was shot 88 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.000 to death at fig Oleander Park. Police say the suspect 89 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.199 left the park before officers arrived, but he was identified 90 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.000 through evidence fund at the scene and tracked down Daniel 91 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.160 Martindale KFI News three. 92 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.959 Sentencing hearing for the Menandez brothers is being held this week. 93 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.399 Erica Lyle Mendez had been serving life sentences for murdering 94 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.720 their parents in nineteen eighty nine in the family home 95 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.439 in Beverly Hills. A once celebrated educator in San Diego 96 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:38.720 has fallen from grace. 97 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.079 A former teacher of the Year has been sentenced to 98 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.040 thirty years in prison for sexually abusing two of her 99 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.279 sixth grade students. Prosecutor say Jaqueline Ma taught at Lincoln 100 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.160 Acres Elementary and National City and was named San Diego 101 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.959 County's Teacher of the Year in twenty twenty two. Prosecutors 102 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.759 say she groomed the boys with gifts, food, and special attention, 103 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.680 and even did their homework. Mop pleaded guilty in February 104 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.600 and apologized in court. Life last week during sentencing, calling 105 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.480 her actions selfish and a disgrace to the teaching profession. 106 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.680 Brigita Degasino ok if I News a. 107 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.600 New study shows that land subsidence, the gradual sinking of 108 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.399 the ground, isn't just a coastal issue tied to sea 109 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.160 level rise. We go down to ABC's Jim Ryan, who's 110 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.879 in North Texas, one of the fastest sinking areas in 111 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:19.360 the US. 112 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:19.720 GYM. 113 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:20.759 What's causing all this? 114 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.879 Yeah, southern Califoria. You guys get it both ways, both 115 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.639 from the coast, you know, with rising shoreline, rising seas, 116 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.720 the sea level is rising, and then Los Angeles is 117 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.399 kind of sinking into the ground, not as dramatically as 118 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.959 some other parts of the country Chicago, for example, San Antonio, Texas, 119 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.800 New York. They're all sinking at a faster rate than 120 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.759 Los Angeles. But worst of all is here in Texas, 121 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.120 Dallas and for Worth, where I am. It's sinking at 122 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.000 about five millimeters per year, Houston about six millimeters per year, 123 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.199 and some parts of Houston are sinking at a rate 124 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.040 of about two inches per year. So yeah, it's pretty dramatic. 125 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.439 All right, So how does groundwater play into this phenomenon 126 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:09.439 groundwater extraction. 127 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.399 Yes, well, because a city like Houston, you know, as 128 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.279 it grows, what does it need? What do those people need, 129 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.240 those millions of people, they need water. And so you 130 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.439 pull the water up out of the ground, pull the 131 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.120 water up out of the ground, and what's left is 132 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.839 a space, right, and so's filling that space is the 133 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.839 ground above it. And that ground, along with the buildings 134 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.319 and cars and freeways on top of it, falls down 135 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.639 into fill that gap. Now, it's not like a sinkhole 136 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.720 that develops on the ten and is there overnight and 137 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.399 it's gone the next day after it's been fixed. This 138 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.480 takes years and years and years to progress. But it's 139 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.720 over a much wider region as well, and there's more 140 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.879 waters drawn out, the quicker the rate of sinking. 141 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.560 No, I've heard stories about how we're sinking here in 142 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.720 la as well. So what are some of the signs 143 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.199 that we should look out for that our home might 144 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:01.800 be affected? 145 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.480 Well, that's your home, yeah, I mean cracks in the 146 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.160 walls or in the ceiling or the foundation. Having issues 147 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.399 in a place where you thought everything was good and 148 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.360 you run on bedrock and maybe you were, but if 149 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.920 that bedrock is sinking down into the ground. You might 150 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.000 still have some shifting and some problems in your own home, 151 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.800 but the big scheme of things, the big big picture 152 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.920 of communities like San Jose and Jacksonville, Florida, they have 153 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.959 more to worry about. They've got to try to figure 154 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.319 out how to address this issue, and city planners need 155 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.600 to find ways to keep it from happening in the future, 156 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.240 finding different places to build our cities and different sources 157 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.040 of water so that we're not sinking ourselves. 158 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.079 And I know you talked to a little bit about 159 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.000 what city planners need to do. Is it more of 160 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.240 like an overarching federal issue? Do you think if it's 161 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.240 happening more widespread across the US, Well. 162 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.959 It seems as though it's kind of a local issue 163 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.759 because it's local communities that are figuring out their own 164 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.800 water needs right in figuring out where that needs to 165 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.759 come from. Certainly federal resources will be used I suspect 166 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.279 in addressing it in the future, but for now, it's 167 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.480 just a manner of individuals, cities, and communities figuring out 168 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.160 the best way to come up with you know, of course, 169 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.519 so what do we do pump water back into the ground? Well, 170 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.720 we saw what happened when that happened. When we do 171 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:26.319 that water reinjection into the ground after fracking has been done, 172 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.680 what's the result earthquakes? 173 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:28.959 Heather. 174 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.159 Yeah, So I guess ultimately you know a lot of 175 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.240 people who are sitting in their homes and they're probably 176 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.039 looking at the cracks in the walls now going oh, 177 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.840 what do I do? What can we do, as you know, 178 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.679 homeowners or business owners if our building is showing these signs? 179 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.039 Well, I mean, in the short term, it's making sure 180 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.320 that you have insurance to cover something like that if 181 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.080 you've got building damage from this. But I mean in 182 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.440 the long term, I suspect that that urban planners and 183 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.200 building specialists are going to be looking at different ways 184 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.840 of constructing, you know, three D printing for example, using 185 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.519 concrete is one way to protect a community from from 186 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.200 that sort of damage and also from wildfires, potentially from flooding. 187 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.120 This could be the wave of the future. 188 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.440 All right, well, we're all going to go home and 189 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.639 take a closer look around from now on.

A new study by the 233 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.519 National Cancer Institute shows cancer before age fifty is still 234 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.039 rare but increasing in the US. Emergency medical physician doctor 235 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.759 Stephanie Wimer says many scientists aren't sure exactly why. 236 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.039 The study looked at over twenty million cases that have 237 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.559 been diagnosed from the year twenty ten to the year 238 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.919 twenty nineteen that approximately fourteen of these different types of 239 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.440 cancers are increasing. 240 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.600 She says that's especially true among young women.

The San Carlos Apache tribe is against 244 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.159 the land transfer on religious grounds. They say that's where 245 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:29.919 they worship their deities and putting a mine there will 246 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.120 cause irreparable harm. Ten people have been sent to the 247 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:38.200 hospital across southern California and Nevada because of a listeria 248 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.399 outbreak linked to ready to eat foods produced by Fresh 249 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.279 and Ready Foods LLSC.

The Israeli military says it targets militians millet 259 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.639 pardon me, target's militants, and blames Hamas for civilian casualties 260 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.960 due to their presence in populated areas. The ongoing conflict 261 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.320 has led to over fifty fifty two eight hundred Palestinian 262 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.559 debts and displaced about ninety percent of Gaza's two million residents. 263 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.799 Then at six oh five, it's handle on the news 264 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.519 hip hop.

All right, 267 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:54.919 let's get to some of the stories coming out of 268 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.039 the KFI twenty four Hour newsroom. The LA Zoo is 269 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.200 being sued over its plans to transfer for Asian elephants 270 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.480 Billy and Tina to a zoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma, instead 271 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:08.840 of an animal sanctuary. Lawsuit asked for preliminary injunction to 272 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.159 prevent the elephants from being relocated to any other zoo. 273 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.080 The suit follows claims by animal rights activists who say 274 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.799 keeping the animals out a zoo instead of a sanctuary 275 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.360 is harmful to their physical and mental well being. A 276 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.600 former employee of California's EDD and her ex boyfriend have 277 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.679 been since for pandemic related benefits fraud. 278 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.960 The US district judge sentenced Philis Stit to twenty months 279 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.440 in federal prison and ordered her to pay over seven 280 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:38.240 hundred thousand dollars in restitution.

Tammy Triheo KFI. 286 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.840 News joining US now is ABC's Ordonna Miller reporting from 287 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.039 Jerusalem with the latest developments on the ongoing seasfiring s 288 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.159 sociations between Israel and Hamas, and apparently the group has 289 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.840 just announced it will release a US Israeli soldier as 290 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.159 a quote gesture in these talks. 291 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:16.559 Now, good morning, that's right, Heather Hamas saying in a 292 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.559 statement that they will release the last living American hostage, 293 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.159 a young man by the name of Dan Alexander, a 294 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:29.399 native of New Jersey, also an Israeli citizen. He came 295 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.159 to Israel, joined the Israeli Army, and was kidnapped by 296 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:38.960 Hamas on October seventh from his military base. There have 297 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.320 been several signs of life from him over the last 298 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.559 year and a half, the last one in April where 299 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:52.960 he looked very skinny, very exhausted, fearful, tired as he 300 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:57.679 pled on camera for President Trump to work for his release. 301 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.279 And it does appear, and we saw. President Trump also 302 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.679 makes the announcement of his forthcoming release in a social 303 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:12.639 media post. The President the Trump administration has cut a 304 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.919 deal directly with Hamas to release Dan Alexander. The Israelis 305 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.559 were not part of this deal, though they are obviously 306 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:27.000 thrilled to have one of their soldiers released. Some of 307 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.000 the public heres also well. There's a lot of excitement 308 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.159 for the family that has suffered. Right edon. Alexander has 309 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:39.399 been in captivity for more than five hundred and eighty days. Nonetheless, 310 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.679 there are still fifty seven hostages, several Israeli soldiers and 311 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:48.279 several Israeli civilians still being held by Hamas fifty seven 312 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.840 in total, and this will put pressure on the Israeli 313 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:57.279 Prime Minister to perhaps delay the intensified war plans that 314 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.720 he announced last week and move instead towards another ceasefire. 315 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.640 We do understand that after Dan's release, which is expected 316 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.440 to be in the next couple hours, his mother has 317 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.839 just landed here in Israel his planes. Her plane landed 318 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.359 at Tel Aviv Ben Green International Airport. Traveling with her 319 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.200 is the President's Special Envoy, Adam Boehler. They are about 320 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.680 to fly directly to rating base, which is an indication 321 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.680 that Adan will be released pretty soon after that. We 322 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.359 do understand that the President is working with the Israeli 323 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:35.599 Prime Minister to jumpstart another round of ceasefire talks. 324 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.119 Wow. I can only imagine the relief that his family 325 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.319 must be feeling, you know, as they move closer to 326 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.519 this moment, what are the chances that this release leads 327 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.119 to a full ceasefire or any you know, the release 328 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:52.480 of any additional hostages. 329 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.519 Well, I think there is a good chance that this 330 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.759 will you know this, this appears to be a really 331 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.119 critical window that has opened a window of opportunity. And 332 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:09.240 the question is will the Israeli Prime Minister and will 333 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:15.640 Hamas showed some flexibility in their positions and go through 334 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.440 that window. This is right before President Trump's visit here 335 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.319 to the region, a lot of critical issues on the table, 336 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:27.880 including not only Gaza, but a potential normalization deal between 337 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:32.480 Saudi Arabia and the Israel. Will Nataniel seize the moment 338 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:38.000 and agree to terms that would begin real discussions on 339 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.720 the end of the war. What could put his government 340 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:42.599 in jeopardy? 341 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:43.079 Right? 342 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.519 Will he agree to that? And will Hamas say that 343 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.759 they're willing to release more hostages without an immediate and 344 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.920 to the war without an immediate withdrawal of Gaza troops. Right, 345 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.200 Because both of the sides have dug their heels in 346 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.720 to positions that are very hard to bridge. But this 347 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.400 move by President Trump, which I think is a strategy right, 348 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.960 get the American out, put pressure on both sides to 349 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.720 now get a deal done because it is possible. What 350 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.519 this deal shows is that it is about the willingness 351 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.519 of leaders to take a position and make a deal happen. 352 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.759 So I think there's a chance here, and that's more 353 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.359 than we've seen for several weeks. 354 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.400 Yeah, well, there's definitely a lot at stake here, and 355 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.240 I know the world will be watching closely, and I'm 356 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:39.519 sure his family is just incredibly relieved, and we'll keep 357 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.960 an eye on this. Thank you so much. 358 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:42.680 Thank you. 359 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.759 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 360 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.960 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. At 361 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.039 least ten people have been hospitalized in California and Nevada 362 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.680 after eating food linked to a listeria outbreak. The FDA 363 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:57.480 says the source is San Fernando based Fresh and Ready Foods. 364 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.240 Their products were sold at airports, hotels, hospitals, and convenience 365 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.759 stores across four states. The company is now recalling several 366 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.799 items under the brand's Fresh and Ready Foods and Fresh 367 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.279 Take Crave Away. Listeria can cause serious illness, especially in 368 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.160 people with weakened immune systems. A small study in California 369 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.519 has found that over half of black and Latina women 370 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.599 regularly use beauty products that contain a chemical link to 371 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.440 uterine cancer. 372 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.880 Researchers ask seventy black and Latino women in Los Angeles 373 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.359 to log the use of their personal care products for 374 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.799 a week and take pictures of the labels to note 375 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.480 the ingredients.
