WEBVTT 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.350 What's up, sunshine? How in the world 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:14.709 have you been? And where in the world 00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:17.189 have I been? Tucson, Arizona. So cool 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.189 meeting some of you when I was there. 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.950 But I am back. And tonight, something 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.750 big is happening. 8:04 p.m. Eastern, the 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.670 official start of fall in the northern 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:28.470 hemisphere called the autominal equinox. 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.310 The what 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.190 did you know? The term equinox comes 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.510 from the Latin word equinoxium, meaning 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.270 equality between day and night. 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.350 Equinoxes occur twice a year when the 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.069 sun rises and sets directly over the 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.470 Earth's equator, causing day and night 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:46.950 to be roughly the same. This year's fall 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.270 equinox is this coming Monday, September 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.910 22nd. It marks the official start of the 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.630 fall season. In Japan, Autumn Equinox 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.950 Day is a national holiday. It marks a 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.110 time to pay respect to deceased family 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:01.430 members. And from China to Great 00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:03.270 Britain, countries around the globe 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.509 celebrate various harvest festivals 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.350 rooted in ancient tradition. 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:11.350 Now to New York City, where some very 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.190 influential people are meeting today. 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.109 The heads of state from around the world 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:17.190 gathering for the 81st United Nations 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.510 General Assembly. The annual general 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:21.429 debate is one of the biggest events in 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.510 world diplomacy, bringing presidents, 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.670 prime ministers, diplomats together for 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.230 a week of speeches, negotiations, and 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.830 high stakes meetings that can shape 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.230 global policy, essentially the world's 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:34.230 biggest group project. US President 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:35.830 Donald Trump is set to address the 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.710 assembly today with the USIsrael war 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:41.109 with Iran nearing the seven-month mark, 00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:43.030 while the wars in Gaza and Ukraine are 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.350 also expected to feature prominently. 00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:46.950 And there's another rapidly emerging 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:49.910 issue, artificial intelligence. The US 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.149 is planning a high level event on AI 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.230 safety amid growing warnings from 00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.389 researchers and tech executives about 00:01:56.399 --> 00:01:58.789 the risks increasingly powerful AI 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.749 systems could eventually pose. Open AI 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:03.990 Sam Ultimate is expected to brief the UN 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.550 Security Council about the risks AI 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.510 companies say they are encountering. AI 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.270 and diplomacy will also take center 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.110 stage in Washington this week where 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.869 President Trump prepares to welcome 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.270 Chinese leader Xiinping at the White 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.110 House. The meeting follows economic 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.030 talks between US Treasury Secretary 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.350 Scott Bessant and Chinese Vice Premier 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.830 Ha Liong and sets the stage for 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.830 potential highlevel talks between the 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.990 two biggest powers in the AI space. Our 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.309 Will Ripley has more on what we can 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.030 expect. The talks between US Treasury 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:37.030 Secretary Scott Besson and Chinese Vice 00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.869 Premier Hurly Fun, who oversees China's 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.110 economy, really set the table for what 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.949 we're expecting when President Donald 00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:44.790 Trump host Chinese leader Xiinping at 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.550 the White House on Thursday. The two 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.470 leaders last met in Beijing in May. And 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:50.309 this time, three big issues are likely 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.390 to dominate. Technology, trade, and 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.710 Taiwan. Artificial intelligence is 00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:56.390 particularly important. Bessence says 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.869 the two sides have agreed to a new US 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.350 China AI dialogue, including discussions 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.750 about how the two leading AI powers in 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:05.190 the world should notify each other if 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:07.030 there was a serious AI related security 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.949 incident. And the backdrop to all of 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:11.110 this is just how much China's position 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.030 has changed. When Trump first hosted Shi 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:15.430 at Mara Lago in 2017, 9 years ago, China 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:17.110 was much more vulnerable to US pressure 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.990 on trade and technology. But now she 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.910 arrives in Washington leading a China 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:23.670 that is far more confident, a major 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.550 player in AI, robotics, chips, and even 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.550 reusable rockets. China recorded a 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.190 roughly 1.2 trillion dollar global trade 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.509 surplus last year, powered in part by 00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:35.350 exports including electric vehicles, 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.430 solar panels, and chips. And its 00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:39.270 dominance of rare earth supply chains 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.789 gives Beijing real leverage over 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:42.789 Washington. And here in Taipei, the big 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:45.270 question is how Trump and she handle the 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.949 highly sensitive issue of Taiwan. 00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.030 Beijing wants stronger US language 00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:51.350 opposing Taiwan independence. And Trump 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.589 has already called a pending 14 billion 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.229 US arms package for Taiwan a negotiating 00:03:56.239 --> 00:03:58.149 chip. So, we need to watch Trump's 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.070 wording very closely here and watch what 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.509 happens to that arms package, 00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:03.270 particularly after Taiwan's military 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.589 drills on Friday, and above all, whether 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.589 Taiwan somehow becomes part of a broader 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.110 deal between Trump and she. Now to the 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.869 Florida panhandle where a fishing 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.550 charter trip went out looking for the 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.069 catch of the day and apparently they 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.710 caught the US Air Force. The Hotspots 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.189 charter crew was fishing near Egglund 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.430 Air Force Base, home of the US Air 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:25.510 Force's weapons testing wing, when they 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:28.230 found this, a nearly 10-ft military 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.390 drone floating in the water. Not your 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.550 typical catch and release. The aircraft 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.150 appears to be an unarmed FLM136, 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.550 an Americanmade drone designed to mimic 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.909 the Iranian Shahed 136, a type of attack 00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:43.670 drone that's played a major role in 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.430 recent conflicts. An Air Force 00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:47.670 spokesperson confirmed a drone had gone 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.749 down during testing and was missing from 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.430 its inventory. The fisherman did what 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:53.590 any responsible crew would do, posted 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.670 pictures online, and they jokingly 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.350 called out for its owners to claim it. 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.430 Well, the ship's captain said some black 00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:02.310 SUVs arrived to retrieve it. No word on 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:04.469 what bait they were using, but uh this 00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:07.909 is one serious fish tail nonetheless. 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:10.070 Pop quiz shot. What do scientists call 00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:12.310 planets outside of our solar system? 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:15.110 Star planets, exoplanets, extra solars, 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.950 or outworlds? 00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:23.029 If you said exoplanets, mission 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:25.830 accomplished. Most orbit other stars, 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:27.590 but some free floating exoplanets, 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.830 called rogue planets, are untethered. 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.749 NASA has confirmed the existence of more 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.710 than 6,000 exoplanets, but believe there 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.909 are billions out there somewhere. NASA's 00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:40.469 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which 00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:42.150 launched last month, has officially 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.189 captured its first photons of starlight 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.749 just 22 days into its mission. This 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.310 after engineers activated its Roman wide 00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:52.070 field instrument, a massive 300 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.550 megapixel infrared camera. It also 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.189 tested Roman's coronagraph designed to 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.350 block overwhelming glare from distant 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.430 stars so scientists can better study 00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:04.309 exoplanets. Think about trying to spot a 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.909 firefly sitting next to a lighthouse 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:07.909 from miles away, then being able to 00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:09.670 block the lighthouse. Suddenly, you 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.070 might see the firefly. Scientists hope 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:13.909 Roman will help investigate some of the 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:16.309 universe's biggest mysteries like dark 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.870 matter, dark energy in worlds we've 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:21.029 never seen before. Astrophysicist Neil 00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:23.590 deGrasse Tyson spoke to CNN about just 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.510 how much we might learn. 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:28.070 >> The longest unsolved problem in modern 00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:30.309 astrophysics and it's been with us since 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.430 the 1930s and it is what is the nature 00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.390 of the dark matter of the universe? And 00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:37.749 what's different about this telescope 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.510 from other space telescopes is that has 00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:43.430 a huge field of view. Huge. And in so 00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:45.909 doing, you can take in much more of the 00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:49.510 universe at once to see the impact that 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:52.070 the dark matter has on the gathering of 00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:54.150 matter and energy in the universe. And 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.430 so it it Hubble got us up up close and 00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:00.070 personal in tiny fields of view. This 00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:02.550 has a much wider field of view so that 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.150 you can answer different questions about 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.309 the structure, the large scale structure 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.150 of the universe. 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.670 >> Question for you. What happens when you 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.670 bring one of golf's biggest stars out of 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.749 retirement, put her on a team, add a 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.230 giant simulator screen and a rotating 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.390 green and have fans sitting practically 00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:21.749 on top of the action. You get the WTGL, 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.990 the new women's team golf league teeing 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.230 off November 8th. and Michelle Wii West 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.150 will be competing for Los Angeles Golf 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.950 Club. From teenage phenom to US Women's 00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:33.830 Open Champion to retirement and now to a 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:35.830 return. I caught up with Michelle about 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:37.990 her incredible journey. You experienced 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.390 pressure at an age when most of us were 00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:42.070 worried about homework and who we were 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:44.309 going to sit beside at lunch. There are 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:44.790 so many 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.230 >> those are things I was very worried as 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:46.790 well. 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.430 >> Yeah. 00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:49.270 >> So, this is great thing to ask you 00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:51.510 because you've overcome a lot. There are 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:53.830 so many young people now who feel like 00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:56.469 they have to be great now. What's 00:07:56.479 --> 00:07:58.070 something about success that you 00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:00.469 understand that you wish 15-year-old 00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:01.909 Michelle knew back then? 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:03.749 >> Yeah, I think it's all about longevity. 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.510 I think it's at the end of the day, it's 00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:07.430 all about happiness. That's all what 00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:10.550 life is. Um I think no matter what you 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.550 succeed, if you don't a feel good about 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.469 it, if it doesn't fulfill you, I think 00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:16.950 that means nothing. You know, at the end 00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:19.589 of the day, trophies are trophies. And 00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:21.830 um you know, I think that with my 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:23.430 career, I've been through so many ups 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:25.749 and so many downs and obviously um 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.749 succeeded very early in my life.
