This is your 24-7 News Update. The latest news this
hour in just four minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Many Americans are heading home after traveling for the Labor
Day holiday weekend. Millions hit the road this year, even
as gas prices are the highest they've ever been for
this time of year. According to AAA, the national average
is about $ 4. 15 a gallon. Meantime, TSA said it screened
more than 17 million passengers over the holiday weekend. The
NTSB will provide an update today on yesterday's deadly plane
(00:32):
crash at Miami International Airport. Five people were killed and
five others were injured when an Amazon cargo plane went
off the runway while landing. The FAA says the plane
went through a wire fence, hit some cars on a
nearby road, and then caught fire. Hurricane Lowell is currently
about 445 miles southwest of Honolulu and is packing winds
of 115 miles per hour. The family of Celeste Rivas
(00:55):
Hernandez is calling for the death penalty for singer David.
Daniel Martindale reports.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Today would have been the girl's 16th birthday, and Tuesday
marks one year since her remains were found in the
trunk of a Tesla in a Hollywood tow yard. Her
family tells the California Post the death penalty would be
perfect for this kind of human being. David, whose real
name is David Burke, is accused of having a sexual
relationship with the 14-year-old, killing her after she threatened to
come forward and dismembering her body. The family also calls
(01:22):
Burke devoid of feelings and without conscience.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The L.A.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
County District Attorney's Office is weighing whether to pursue the
death penalty against Burke if he's convicted. I'm Daniel Martindale.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Coming up in the business week ahead, this will be
an abbreviated trading week due to the Labor Day holiday.
Noteworthy economic reports start rolling in tomorrow with the latest
data on consumer credit and the National Federation of Independent
Businesses Index of Small Business Optimism. Fast forward to Thursday
and the numbers on weekly jobless claims will be released
along with the Producer Price Index and existing home sales data.
(01:56):
The week comes to a close with Friday's Consumer Price
Index and a look at the University of Michigan's Preliminary
Consumer Sentiment Survey. I'm Chris Coraggio. As the 25th anniversary
of the 9-11 terror attacks approaches, former New York Governor
George Pataki is revealing that he has a 9-11-related illness.
Scott Pringle reports.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Pataki was governor at the time of the attacks and
years after. He tells the New York Post he has
a restrictive airway disease connected to his time exposed to
toxins at Ground Zero. Pataki just got diagnosed with it
over the last five years, but he says he feels
great calling it a minor residual impact. Pataki tells the
Post he considers himself lucky compared to so many others
(02:36):
who are with him at Ground Zero who have far
more serious illnesses.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang believes AI is has reached a
new threshold of thinking power. He claimed in an online
post Sunday that OpenAI's newest chat GPT model operating on
NVIDIA's chips has achieved AGI, which stands for Artificial General Intelligence.
It indicates the software can handle most of the thinking
a regular person can, although OpenAI hasn't indicated its latest
(03:02):
model has reached that level of operating power. The GPT-6
Astra has shown state-of-the-art performance using NVIDIA's new chipboxes, which
have increased in size from 8 chips on a board
to 72 chip boxes. A Harlem museum that celebrates black
(03:25):
culture is getting a sizable gift from one of the
biggest stars around. Beyonce has given a $ 2 million gift
to Studio Museum. The singer says she's always loved how
the museum has introduced her to up-and-coming black artists, and
she's thrilled to make the donation to help the museum
and artists. With the start of the NFL season this week,
sportsbooks are awaiting a heap of action. The American Gaming
(03:46):
Association says nearly $ 30 billion will be wagered on NFL
games through domestic sport books during the 2026 campaign. Growth
is slowing down, though, however, with online gaming legalized in
all but four states and the rise of prediction markets
like calci and polymarket. I'm Chris Caraccio.
