Manila returns!

Four gold miners trapped deep inside a flooded cave in Laos pull off an incredible self-rescue after nearly two weeks underground. We'll have the latest on the dramatic escape and the ongoing search for the two miners still missing.

Then, is JD Vance really Donald Trump's heir apparent? A new report suggests Trump may not be ready to hand over the keys to the MAGA movement just yet, raising fresh questions about the Republican Party's future and the increasingly crowded race for 2028.

Plus, a new international study finds that wealthy people who care the most about the environment may also have the biggest carbon footprints. We'll unpack the surprising findings and why researchers say climate awareness doesn't always translate into climate-friendly behavior.

And finally, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring millions of visitors and billions of dollars to New York and New Jersey. But according to one report, not all of that economic activity is headed to hotels, restaurants, and stadiums. We'll explain why another industry is reportedly preparing for a major boom.

First: FBI Director Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for defamation. The lawsuit comes after a report alleging alcohol-related behavior and absences that could impact national security. Patel calls the claims completely false—and is seeking at least $250 million. But here’s the twist: the lawsuit itself contains multiple spelling errors, raising eyebrows in a case centered on accuracy and credibility.

Then: Gamers may have a new career pipeline. The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting video game players to become air traffic controllers, citing their ability to multitask, communicate, and stay focused under pressure. The result? Over 8,000 applications in just 13 hours.

Also today: One of the largest school districts in the country is hitting pause on screen-heavy learning. The Los Angeles Unified School District is considering restricting classroom screen time after years of promoting digital tools. Concerns over attention spans, engagement, and student mental health are driving a shift back toward more traditional teaching methods.

And finally: AI is flooding the music industry. Nearly half of all new songs uploaded daily are now AI-generated—around 75,000 tracks a day. While most aren’t being widely listened to, the volume alone is overwhelming the system, raising serious questions about fraud, quality, and whether the industry can still separate real artistry from automated content.

First: the U.S. dollar may be facing pressure from an unexpected direction. The United Arab Emirates is signaling it could move toward using the Chinese yuan in oil trade if financial tensions escalate. With conflict costs rising and regional instability growing, this isn’t just economic—it’s geopolitical. We break down what this means for the dollar’s dominance and global power dynamics.

Then: the U.S. is pushing Cuba for major reforms. American officials are urging a shift away from socialism, calling for market changes, expanded private enterprise, and even discussions around elections. Cuba says it’s open to dialogue—but not under pressure. The question is whether this is diplomacy… or leverage.

Also today: your bathroom habits might be telling you more than you think. A study of over 1,400 people suggests the “golden zone” for bowel movements is once to twice a day, with deviations potentially linked to underlying health risks and even long-term disease outcomes. Not glamorous—but apparently, very relevant.

And finally: fatherhood changes men at a biological level. Research shows the male brain actually rewires—shifting hormones, reducing testosterone, and increasing bonding chemicals like oxytocin. It’s not just emotional—it’s physical. The more involved a father is, the deeper those changes go.

First: A British-born citizen has had his citizenship revoked over alleged ties to Russia. The UK government says the move is “in the public good,” but the evidence remains classified. The case raises serious questions about due process, national security, and how far governments can go when the accusations are secret.

Then: AI isn’t just replacing jobs—it’s breaking them apart. Instead of eliminating roles outright, companies are slicing work into smaller tasks, handing some to machines and leaving humans with what’s left. The result? A more fragmented, less stable job market where the question isn’t “Will AI replace you?”—it’s “What part of your job is still yours?”

Also today: Virginia joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. That means the state is pledging its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner—once enough states join to hit 270 electoral votes. It doesn’t change anything yet, but if it activates, it could quietly rewrite how presidential elections are decided in the U.S.

And finally: yes, someone tried to smuggle thousands of ants through an airport. Kenyan authorities arrested a man carrying over 2,000 live queen ants, part of a growing black market for exotic insect collectors. It sounds absurd—but it’s real, and it’s part of a larger trend in wildlife trafficking that’s getting smaller… and harder to detect.

First: EU leadership is pushing to eliminate veto power among member states. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says it’s time to move to majority voting on foreign policy decisions — a move that would fundamentally reshape how the European Union operates. The timing? Right after Viktor Orbán lost power, removing one of the biggest blockers to EU policy. We break down what this means for Ukraine, NATO alignment, and the future of centralized power in Europe.

Then: a reality check on your phone. New data shows only 18% of what you see on social media comes from friends and family — while 35% comes from influencers and algorithmic recommendations and 29% from ads. Platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube aren’t broken — they’ve just quietly shifted from social networks to “interest media.” Translation: you’re not connecting… you’re consuming.

Also today: a medical case that sounds unbelievable — until it isn’t. A woman began hearing voices telling her she had a brain tumor and needed to get checked. Doctors initially assumed a psychiatric issue. A scan later confirmed it: she had a tumor, and after surgery, the voices disappeared. It’s a powerful reminder that the brain doesn’t always signal problems the way we expect.

And finally: your diet may be doing more damage than you realize. A new study of 600 adults found that people who consume more ultra-processed foods have higher levels of fat embedded inside their muscles — even when controlling for weight, exercise, and calorie intake. That kind of muscle degradation is linked to knee osteoarthritis, meaning the long-term effects of what you eat may show up where you feel it most: your joints.

First: Newly declassified memos are raising serious questions about the 2019 impeachment case against President Trump. The FBI says it’s now reviewing evidence that was previously withheld — including claims that the whistleblower relied on hearsay, showed potential bias, and made statements that were not fully disclosed at the time. We break down what’s actually new here, and what it could mean for how that entire episode is viewed in hindsight.

Then: Colombia is dealing with one of the strangest ecological problems on Earth — Pablo Escobar’s hippos. What started as a handful of animals left behind on his estate has turned into a population of around 200, now officially classified as an invasive species. After years of failed attempts to control them, the government is moving forward with a plan to cull up to 80 hippos, sparking backlash from animal rights groups.

Also today: Ozempic has officially entered the job market. A new survey shows nearly half of Gen Z workers say coverage for GLP-1 drugs could influence where they work, with some even willing to take a pay cut to get it. That raises a bigger question: when people are choosing between healthcare access and basic benefits like PTO… what does that say about the system?

And finally: a Dutch politician is out after using AI to dramatically alter her campaign photo. She insisted it was still her — voters and her own party disagreed. The result: expulsion, backlash, and a reminder that AI isn’t just changing how we work… it’s starting to blur who we are.
