Speaker 2: An historic heat wave is taking aim at nearly twenty

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: million people across the Southwest. It's not even officially spring,

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: but it will feel like summer across much of the

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: Southwest this week as a massive heat dome sense temperature soaring.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Roory O'Neal reports.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: In Los Angeles, daily heat records could fall through Friday

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: as temperatures climb into the upper nineties. In Las Vegas,

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: record breaking temperatures could shatter previous records by up to

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: ten degrees. Phoenix could see its earliest one hundred degree

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: day ever, beating the previous record set in nineteen eighty

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: eight when it hit one hundred degrees. On March twenty sixth.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: One hundred degree tempts are expected in Phoenix through Saturday.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: US military action against Iran is raging on. It comes

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: as Iran confirmed its intelligence minister was killed by n

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: Israeli strike last night, and comes a day after other

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: top Iranian officials were killed billed by Israel. Meanwhile, gas

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: prices continue to rise, and there's still no clear word

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: on which nations, if any, will help the US bring

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: the situation in the Strait of Hormuz under control. Elsewhere,

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: President Trump attended the dignified transfer of three Ohio airmen

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: who died overseas at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: The confirmation hearing for President Trump's pick to replace Christy

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: Nome as the Department of Homeland Security chief is over.

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma didn't face a

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: lot of pushback before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, except

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: for one exchange with fellow Republican Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky.

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Explain to the American public why they should trust a

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: man with anger issues to set the proper example for

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: ice and border patrol agents. Seems like you fight Republicans

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: more than you work with us. We can have our differences.

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: It's not going to keep me from doing my job

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: as Secretary of Homeland Security.

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Mullen and Paul have been feuding for some time. A

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: trailer has been released for Marvel's studio Spider Man brand

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: New Day, The Fourth and Installman in the Franchi sees

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: Tom Holland reprise his role as Peter Parker aka Spider Man.

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: I'm Lisa Carton. Rare earth minerals needed to make everything

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: from computers to car batteries are normally sourced from China.

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Now there's a push to mine them in Texas.

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: We think within two years we're going to be delivering

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: these minerals.

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Land Commissioner Don Buckingham says that Round Top Mountain, located

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 2: in West Texas, is considered one of the richest known

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: deposits of rare earth minerals in North America, but it

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: requires a lot of work to get them out, and

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: experts say it also generates large waste streams. New research

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: shows belly fat may be a stronger indicator of heart

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: failure than body mass index. Here's Michael Kassner.

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: Researchers presented their findings at the American Heart Association ep

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: Lifestyle Scientific Sessions. The study shows where fat is stored

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: in the body may matter more than weight, and that

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 4: inflammation is a key factor in the study, Inflammation accounted

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: for roughly one quarter to one third of the link

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: between measures of fat stored around the waist and heart

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: failure risk. Researchers say the study helps understand why some

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: people develop heart failure despite having a body weight that

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: seems healthy.

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: New York City sanitation officials acknowledged dog poop is everywhere,

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: but when it comes to ticketing offending pooch owners, enforcement

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: officers may be barking up the wrong tree. Natalie Migliori's

63
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: on it, and she explains the situation.

64
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: New Yorkers say they're all too familiar with navigating piles

65
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: of dog poop.

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: I just try to close my eye and walk around

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't step in it. It's increased

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: in the last three to five years. If anything, I

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: think COVID made it worse, because you know, we all

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: got a little care free.

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: And hearing earlier this week, The Department of Sanitation says

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: even though three one one regularly fields complaints, enforcement is

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: hard because they rarely catch people in the act. The

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: city says they received an influx of dog poop complaints

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: after January snowstorm. If a person is caught not picking

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: up after their pet, violations could be up to two

77
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars.

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: It's a hellish landscape non pedestrian wants to face. I'm

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,560
