The power grids of Luzon and Visayas remain on alert, with Visayas expected to be under the yellow alert until next week.

House Minority Leader Franz Castro calls for clear-cut policies to address the influx of Chinese students in the Philippines.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts his country would reach its own decisions on security as world leaders urge him not to retaliate against Iran.

And President Marcos makes it to Time Magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People this 2024.

I'm Stally Palisada, Dateline Philippines begins right now.

And for those of you watching us on YouTube and Facebook, nice to have you with us.

Stopping the midday news, the power grids of Luzon and Visayas still on alert this Thursday as the sizzling heat continues to cause electricity demand to spike.

Now grid operators say the Luzon grid will be under red and yellow alert throughout the day, while the Visayas grid will be placed under yellow alert from 1pm to 9pm.

Until next week.

With this, Philippine energy officials are doubling down on their call for the public to save energy.

We'll be right back.

At magtipid sa paggamit ng kuryente, hindi lang para tulong na rin para sa sarili natin, kundi para makatulong din na maibaba ang demand natin.

Power distributor Meralco for its part has implemented measures aimed at easing demand.

Government agencies moving to conserve energy amid the fragile power supply in the country.

President Marcos had earlier ordered all government agencies to lower their power.

The energy department says it saved over 2 million pesos last year from the government energy management program.

The DOE adds government's electricity consumption fell 23% last year due to conservation efforts.

But it says this might not be doable at the moment amid the extreme heat in the country.

Sa pangkalakatan, sumusunod naman ang ating mga kasamahan sa pamahalaan.

Nung nakaraang taon, medyo may konting diktat.

Kasi nung nakaraang taon, on the average, ang nakikita nating reduction na nai-implement nila, pumapalo siya closer to 23% nung kanilang average consumption.

Pero ngayon nga, siguro dahil sa matindi rin iinit, bumaba ito ng konti na sa more than a little over 10%.

Karamihan ng ating mga government agencies, ang major contribution nila talaga,

e yung sinisigurado po nila na yung kanilang mga cooling systems,

yung ating mga aircon, electric fans, malinis po ito, napaproperly maintained.

At yung importante nga po, kagaya nung ating mensahe sa ating mga kababayan,

huwag masyadong ibababa po yung thermostat.

Ilagay lang po natin sa mga 24 degrees para hindi po ganung kalakas ang konsumo nito.

In other news, lawmakers sounding the alarm into alleged Chinese sleeper cells in the Philippines

and a reported influx of Chinese students in a province hosting joint U.S.

Philippine military facilities.

Pia Gutierrez reports.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines says it is looking into the influx of thousands of Chinese college students

in the province of Cagayan.

AFP spokesperson Colonel Francel Margaret Padilla says

they are coordinating with the Philippine National Police and other government agencies

to determine if the presence of these Chinese students pose a threat to national security.

Last year,

Naval Base Camilo Osillas in Santa Ana, Cagayan

was named as one of the four new sites for the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, or EDCA.

At the House of Representatives,

Act Teacher's Partylist Representative Franz Castro is calling for a probe

into suspected Chinese sleeper cells in the country.

For example, they are students, they are ordinary citizens,

but they have skills that are for spies or military skills

that later on, if they will use them, they will live.

These are the sleeper cells.

We think there might be something like that here in the Philippines,

so all the kilos that we have here in the Philippines are like China's tanks.

Surigao del Norte Representative Robert Ace Barbers,

for his part,

said he has received information

that Chinese nationals,

posing as what he calls

fake Filipino nationals,

are buying huge tracts of land

near major air and sea ports,

as well as near military sites

that can be accessed by the U.S. military

as part of its Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with Manila.

Over the weekend,

authorities arrested

authorities arrested

a Chinese national in Taguig City.

They recovered firearms,

ammunition, hand grenades,

various China-marked tactical gear

and a Chinese flag.

Authorities also seized a sports car

worth around 30 million pesos

and other unregistered vehicles.

Another Chinese national

was also detained after trying

to bribe police with 3 million pesos

in exchange for the suspect's release.

We will be

investigating and profiling

and dig deeper

to identify

cohorts

and what are the activities

including established motives.

House Deputy Minority Leader

Franz Castro also calling for clear-cut

policies to address the alleged

Chinese infiltration happening in the Philippines.

Castro clarifies the Philippines

is not against having Chinese nationals

in the country, but she notes

Manila's maritime row with Beijing

complicates the matter.

We are worried about the influx

of the students, especially

in the ed sites

in Cagayan.

So parang new phenomenon yan.

With our experience kasi sa Pogo,

nagkaroon din na investigation

yung Pogo and we have found out

na merong mga PLA

na naka-infiltrate doon sa mga

Pogo sites.

Kaya we are worried na baka may mga ganitong

plano ang China,

especially the government of China

because we have this dispute

in the West Philippine Sea.

Security analyst Chester Cabalza

meanwhile notes aside from Cagayan,

other areas like Subic are also

seeing an influx of Chinese students.

Subic is fronting the West Philippine Sea also.

So it's not only

exclusive in Cagayan,

but I think in some of the

key strategic locations

in Brazil basically.

They're not our enemies, we just have

a strategic problem with them

in the West Philippine Sea.

We have to put that into context,

but at the same time, they should be

transparent also in their businesses

with us.

Joint Philippine-US military drill

set for next week described as

preparations for a possible conflict.

Bianca Dava has this story.

More than showcasing its capabilities,

training exercises with the country's

allies and partners helped the

armed forces of the Philippines

maintain a high level of readiness in case

of a conflict, according to a military

official. The armed forces has

a mandate to defend our

territory, and

there is an

adjunct to that mandate, which is

you have to train for it.

And for realistic training, we

train in areas where

uh,

where realism is

provided for. The purpose of

an armed forces, why we

exist, is really to prepare for war.

There's no

there's no sugarcoating

it. The navies of the Philippines,

the United States, and France

will conduct a multilateral maritime

exercise in the West Philippine Sea

as part of the Balikatan exercise

this year. For

the first time, the Coast Guard

contingents from Manila and Washington

will participate in the joint

sale. Smaller drills

will also be conducted in Batanes,

the country's northernmost province

facing Taiwan. These

drills are expected to irritate China,

but Balikatan 2024

Executive Agent Colonel Michael Lohico

says it's nothing out of the ordinary.

With or without China,

let's say, for example, in a parallel

universe, China did not exist,

we would still be doing these exercises

because this is a

uh, these are

things that nations do.

Manila is sending two vessels

from the Philippine Navy and one from

the Philippine Coast Guard for the MME.

The number of participating

ships from the U.S. meanwhile

has yet to be determined.

France, which is making a debut as a

Balikatan participant, on the other

hand, is sending a warship to the drills.

The Philippines has no

visiting forces agreement with France

yet, but Lohico said Paris

could still join the drills since it

will be conducted outside Manila's territorial

waters. For the French Navy,

they will be bringing in the frigate, so

I, those, the frigate will

not be entering

territorial waters. They will be

joining the group sail, which is

beyond 12 nautical miles,

but within our

200 nautical mile EEZ.

So, they will not,

we will not be seeing French boots on the ground.

The participation is

just the Navy. The official also

assured that the possible presence or

intrusion of Beijing's

vessels during the MME is

part of their contingency plans.

Intrusion into our exercise

area is a possibility, but

that will

pose more of a problem

for the people who want to

enter the exercise area, not us.

Because we're going there,

we're going there

with our

Navy vessels, so with

the United States and also with the

French Navy.

We're going there prepared.

The annual joint training exercise between

the AFP and the U.S. Armed Forces

will also focus on testing the Philippines'

comprehensive archipelagic

defense concept announced by

Defense Secretary Gilberto Chudoro Jr.

earlier this year.

The concept calls for incorporating all

services of the AFP in defending

Philippine waters, particularly

the country's 200 nautical mile EEZ.

One thing particularly

new about Exercise

Balikatan is that it's going to

also showcase the,

the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept.

We are focusing on

both the physical and the non-physical

domain. We are

exercising, particularly

in the area of

information warfare

and cyber defense.

With over 16,700

participants expected from the Philippines

and the U.S., this year's

Balikatan will be the largest

since the first staging in 1991.

Representatives of

countries will also participate in the drills

as observers.

Bianca Dava,

ABS-CBN News.

Now China

sounds the alarm over the upcoming

joint military drills between the Philippines

and the US. Beijing's foreign ministry

warns the Balikatan exercises

will only lead to what it called

greater insecurity in the South

China Sea. China asserts

it will continue to staunchly defend

its maritime rights, calling the

exercises another provocation

by Washington and Manila.

The Philippines should be

sober enough to realize that attempting

to rally external countries to flex military

muscles in the South China Sea

and provoke conflicts will only

escalate tensions and disrupt regional

stability. Attempts to bring in

external forces to safeguard

the so-called security will only

lead to greater insecurity for itself,

potentially turning itself into pawns

in other schemes.

Meanwhile, the Philippine

Foreign Affairs Department defends

the country's decision to strengthen its

alliance with the US and Japan.

The DFA says instead of accusing the

Philippines and its allies of creating

tension in the region, it is

China that should reflect on its actions

in disputed waters.

Washington and Beijing's defense

secretaries hold talks for the first time

in over a year. US Defense Chief

Lloyd Austin requested to hold

a video call with his defense secretary.

Filipino fishermen receive more support from government as they face the constant threat of harassment from Chinese vessels.

Jervis Manahan reports.

Jumping off from Subic Zambales, officials from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and several Filipino fishermen sailed to some fishing grounds in the West Philippine Sea on Tuesday.

This activity is part of the agency's Project Layag, which aims to enhance productivity of fishermen through government assistance.

The BIFAR turned over 60 million pesos worth of fishing gear, including 62-foot boats to fisherfolk communities in various coastal towns.

So naka-focus ito sa pagbibigay ng mga livelihood interventions para mas mapalawak pa natin ang kayahan ng ating mga mangis na sa West Philippine Sea

at ng likas-likas.

Kaya natin itong malinang pa yung kayamanan natin sa West Philippine Sea.

The agency said fish production in the West Philippine Sea increased in 2023, which they say may be attributed to government assistance, a drastic increase in fishing boats, and fair weather.

On Tuesday, Filipino fishermen showed several fishing methods in the West Philippine Sea, which included man lines and ring nets.

BIFAR also refuted claims of China that payaus, or traditional fishing,

are destructive to marine life.

Hindi po mapanira ang payau, no? Ang mapanira siguro yung kapag nagkakaroon ng malawakang reklimasyon at nalasisira yung ating mga coral reefs.

Pero itong payau, isa po itong passive gear, environment-friendly po ito, nilalapitan ito ng mga maliliit na isda na pagkain ng mga malalaking isda.

Last October, Chinese vessels cut off payaus of Filipino fishermen set up in Philippine waters.

Malaking pangihinayang, sir. Saka ang pagod ng maghulog ng payau, gastos pa. Tapos ay nung aanihan na namin, saka naman nawala.

Pag pumasok ka doon sa mismo lagu ng Escalburo, talaga hindi ka papasokin. Pero pag sa tayong isda po namin sa labas, wala naman po problema.

Fishermen also said they are now fishing in areas away from the Escalburo Shoal to avoid harassment and aggression from Chinese vessels.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources say they will remain undeterred by tensions in the West Philippine Sea.

Their mandate remains, and that is to help the Filipino fisherfolk.

A lawmaker as well as officials from the military and coast guard said they are committed to ensuring the welfare of fishermen not just on their safety, but their livelihood as well.

It's an interagency effort naman ng ating government na sama-sama tayo magtutulong-tulong. It's not just solely a security aspect. It has to be interagency as I've said.

It cannot be done by one agency alone.

At nais ko ibalita sa inyo na ang Senate nagbigay ng tatlong malaking bapor sa BIFAR para bantayan kayo.

Ang justification nila noon, gusto namin tumulong ang BIFAR sa pagpoprotect sa mga manging isda sa West Philippine Sea.

Jervis Manahan, ABS-CBN News.

The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed the head of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources for grave misconduct.

But employees of the agency are standing by him. Jervis Manahan is back with that story. Jervis?

Yes, Tally. Concerned employees of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources expressed support to their embattled chief, Atty. Demos Fines Escoto.

Escoto was dismissed by the Office of the Ombudsman on Wednesday after finding him guilty of grave misconduct in the procurement.

President Marcos, named as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People for the Year,

Marcos is the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who plundered billions and declared martial law, which left thousands dead.

Time also cited the younger Marcos' success in steadying the Philippines' post-pandemic economy, as well as elevating the country on the world stage.

I wouldn't say it's performing poorly. I'm saying, I would say it's adjusting to some events.

It initially weakened, along with other emerging market currencies, by the way, because of what's going on in the Middle East.

Remolona added that the decline may have been a reaction to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's signal that rate cuts in the U.S. may come later than expected.

I think it's adjusting to Powell's speech.

That maybe they won't ease until September.

Or September's kind of how people interpret what Powell said.

So there's a postponement of when the FOMC will ease in the eyes of the market.

So that has meant weakening of other currencies against the U.S. dollar.

So it's not a case of a weak peso.

It's a case of a strong dollar.

The weakening of the peso is not sharp enough for Remolona to warrant adjusting interest rates.

With Philippine inflation accelerating for two consecutive months, the BSP earlier said policy easing may not come soon as inflation risks continue to lean on the upside.

He said the Monetary Board may instead reconsider cutting rates this year.

The central scenario would be fourth quarter ease.

If things are worse than we think, then it might be postponed to the first quarter of 2025.

While the adjustment has not been significant enough to affect monetary policy, Remolona said it could be a factor in the Monetary Board's next policy meeting.

The Philippines.

The Philippine Stock Exchange wants to double the number of Filipinos trading stocks in the country.

This through mobile apps that will help make it easier for the public to invest in the capital markets.

Jackie Pascual reports.

The Philippine Stock Exchange is hopeful that the number of Filipinos trading stocks will grow significantly with the launch of mobile services such as G-Stocks.

PSE President and CEO Ramon Monzon says there are 1.9 million stock market accounts in the country,

an 11.8% increase over a five-year period, but still a low number at just 1.7% of the population.

Hopefully, at least in the next five years, if they could double that 1.9, it's good enough for us because it took us 94 years to get there.

The PSE has one of the lowest retail market participation rate in the region at 16% compared to 32% of Indonesia's stock exchange and 28.9% of stock exchange of Thailand.

Retail participation in any stock market contributes to the liquidity of the market.

And market liquidity is very important to make the market go up or increase in value.

Antonio Jose Periquet Jr. of AB Capital says there are many possible reasons why Filipinos are not into trading stocks.

Some people say it is lack of incomes, therefore lack of savings.

One other hypothesis.

The other hypothesis is because Filipinos simply do not have an equity culture.

We have a lotto culture, a wetten culture, a sabong culture, a gaming culture, but an equity culture we don't have.

Now, is that true?

But he believes it's mostly because of a lack of access to such services,

which is why AB Capital partnered with GCash to create GSTOP,

making it easier for the average Filipino to buy or sell stocks.

Without digital means, it's simply too intimidating for an average Filipino to walk into a broker's office,

to open an account, to fill up these forms.

How do we help Filipinos grow their money, earn money, right?

And stocks is one of the things that we're looking at.

Layug reveals that GSTOX already has half a million users following its soft launch last year.

Officials are confident that with the convenience offered by this online platform,

more Filipinos would now be more willing to trade stocks,

expanding the country's capital market sector.

Video conferencing app Zoom vows to address communication gaps in the highly hybrid working world

following its acquisition of WorkVivo.

WorkVivo is an employee communication and engagement platform for companies to better connect.

With their employees digitally.

More companies have been allowing their employees to work in a hybrid setup

in the years following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,

which forced several employees to work remotely.

Hybrid world is very productive.

There's also a level of disconnectedness from the company,

sometimes from people when they're working from home.

And we wanted to solve that problem.

Really helping companies and senior executives,

really create the sense,

that sense of culture,

that sense of belonging for employees,

which is why we acquired a company called WorkVivo.

We have customers in the Philippines also.

You know, and that's a platform we acquired that really is around creating employee experience,

helping companies communicate, broadcast their messages, their strategies.

But in a very rich, immersive world with a very social fabric video,

micro-sized, which frankly,

younger populations love,

especially in the Philippines where,

you know, it's a very social,

connected young population.

Philippine transport regulators are looking into claims

public transport services like are losing passengers to motorcycle taxis.

Several transport groups made that allegation,

including the Taguig Transport Service Cooperative,

which operates modern jeepneys.

It warrants the situation could get worse once more motorcycle taxis get the green light to operate.

Hindi ako naniniwala na yung pasahero ng motorcycle taxi,

hindi namin pasahero.

Yung pasahero namin, pasahero nila.

Kasi why?

Napapasok nila.

Napapasok nila ang subdivision.

Diba?

Yung tricycle, mawawalan ng pasahero, makukuha nila.

Transport officials meanwhile gave their assurance,

the result of their probe,

will be included in government's expanded motorcycle taxi pilot study.

Now that study will be submitted to lawmakers on May 30.

It will serve as a guide for lawmakers in crafting a law,

governing motorcycle taxi operations in the country.

Marami po ang nagsasabi na nawawalan na ng pasahero si ganito, si ganyan.

But we have to validate because iba po kasing klaseng transportation,

or mode of transportation ng motorcycle taxi.

Unang-una, wala pong ruta yung mga yan.

And yung pong mga UV, PUV, yan po, may mga ruta po kasi yung mga yan.

So, especially po yung mga TODA, may areas of operation po yan.

Now, yan po ang isa sa mga tinututukan namin ngayon.

So, titignan natin kung meron po ba, at kung meron, gaano po ba kalaki ang impact of motorcycle taxi operation.

Doon po sa ibang mga klase ng pampublikong sasakyan.

Filipino authorities sounding the alarm over what they call a silent pandemic of e-cigarette and vape use among Filipino youth.

Ara Perez tells us more.

Millennials Anna and Perla have quit smoking, then shifted to vapes as an alternative to cigarettes.

Masarap kasi.

Nasa point pa ako na talagang hinahanap-hanap ko pa.

Kasi sa trabaho pag-stress, pag sa bahay pagpagod, tapos pag after kumain, lalo na yun.

Nasa isip ko naman na talagang mag-quit.

Yun nga lang, mahirap pa din.

Yung sa pamilya ko din na, syempre usok ako ng usok, sila din nakaka-naapekawan din.

More patients are getting e-cigarette or vape associated lung injury or e-valley, especially among the youth.

According to a health expert, patients usually complain of getting e-cigarette.

complain of getting tired easily

and having difficulty in breathing

even in the absence of asthma,

cough, or infection.

This apparently shows that the claim

that vape is less harmful

is just a marketing strategy.

Mas mahirap nga yung

paghinto ng vape

kesa doon sa sigarilyo.

Bakit? Kasi ang hirap mong

i-quantify yung

adiksyon na meron yung

isang tao.

Limpin warned, vaping is like putting

cancer-causing elements right

into your body.

Kahit doon sa medyo walang usok,

napakakunting usok,

meron kang makikita doon

ibang chemicals

kasama ang mga

metallic compounds

katulad ng lead.

Nakasama yan

doon sa usok na yan.

And therefore, it is not vapor.

It is an aerosol.

Health Secretary Ted

Herbosa himself is concerned

as long damage is irreversible.

Kaya nagagalit yung mga kaibigan

kong doktor na wala daw ang ginagawa

kasi nakikita nila yung mga pasyente

yan. 16 years

old, 15 years old

nag-revape, buwasak na yung

lungs nila. Damage na.

Sila ang gumagamot so

they want more action from me.

The Philippine Education Department says

it is ending this so-called silent

pandemic among the youth.

Through prevention, cessation, and public

awareness campaigns, spearheaded

by students themselves.

Based on the findings in the Philippines

of the 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey,

over 14% of students

aged 13 to 15

are using e-cigarettes.

The interest now is vaping because

they now come in flavors. They come now in

bright new packages.

We are lobbying

to be able to

conduct more

parent trainings. For some,

they don't even know na yung pina-online

store ng mga anak nila.

Vape na pala.

Experts say the best

way to quit vape and cigarette

is to go cold turkey

or abruptly quit the vice.

They add, there may be weight gain at first

but this is just a sign of

improved senses of taste

and smell. Ara Perez,

World News Now, thousands still stranded

at the Dubai International Airport

which was brought to a standstill

by a relentless deluge.

of rain. The airport's runway

was not spared from flooding on Wednesday

causing massive flight cancellations

and delays.

Filipinos are among those stranded

at the travel hub.

We've been here

for, I think, more than 24

hours.

But I think

it's a little limited of options

even if it was offered to the

security for us to stay outside.

Walang way.

I'm not sure if

na-stop na yung flooding

or open na yung mga roads.

So I think ang best option lang

is to stay here.

So lahat talaga, camping

inside the airport

and you would see talaga

na they're waiting

for the night.

First time kong ma-experience ko

sa Tagay, mag-usit naman talaga

that the weather is changing,

climate is changing.

Kasi never namin

na-experience yung halik na kalakas kami.

Kailan?

They're very disturbing.

Saka yung magaling kong

in-conspirer, first time

din na-experience kami.

Now a year's worth of rain

poured in one day in the United Arab

Emirates and neighboring Oman.

The rare storm killed one person in Dubai

Cleanup has begun in parts

of the country and the extent of

damage is slowly coming to light.

Still in the Middle East,

the East Israeli Prime

Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

thanks the visiting foreign ministers

of Germany and Britain for the support

of their countries.

Netanyahu, however, makes it clear

Israel would reach its own decisions

on security. British Foreign Secretary

David Cameron and German Foreign

Minister Annalena Baerbock

met with Netanyahu

days after Iran's retaliatory

missile and drone attack

on Israel.

I thank our friends

for their support in the defense of Israel

and I say this, both

support in words and support in

actions. They also have all kinds

of suggestions and advice.

I appreciate it, but I want

to make it clear. We will make

our own decisions and the

state of Israel will do everything

necessary to defend itself.

World powers are striving to prevent

a wider escalation of conflict

in the Middle East. Cameron said earlier

on Wednesday, Israel has clearly

decided to retaliate against Iran.

The situation is

very concerning. It's right to show

solidarity with Israel.

It's right to have made

our views clear about what should

happen next, but it's clear the

Israelis are making a decision

to act. We hope they do so in a way that

does as little to escalate this

as possible and in a way that, as I said

yesterday, is smart as well

as tough. But the real need is to

refocus back on

Hamas, back on the hostages, back

on getting the aid in, back on

getting a pause in the conflict

in Gaza.

The U.S. House of Representatives

will have its long-awaited vote

on aid for Ukraine, Israel, and

the Indo-Pacific as soon as Saturday.

The House Appropriations Committee

unveiled legislation providing more than

$95 billion in security

assistance. The effort to

pass the measure gained new urgency

following Iran's first direct assault

on Israel over the weekend.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says,

he would give lawmakers 72 hours

from the bill's introduction

to review the measure, and the chamber

would vote on final passage

by Saturday evening. The package

is largely similar to the Senate

version passed in February, but

Johnson declined to move on

with the bill until next week amid

objections from hard-right lawmakers,

some of whom have threatened to

dust him or oust him

as Speaker.

The Democratic

majority U.S. Senate rejects,

a Republican-led bid to oust

President Joe Biden's top border

official. Homeland Security

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was

charged in February with failing

to enforce immigration laws and lying

to Congress. Mayorkas denied

both charges. The Senate

swiftly disposed of the two

articles of impeachment, rejecting

them along party

lines saying they were unconstitutional.

On this vote, the

yeas are 51, the nays are 49,

the motion is to agree to. The Senate

sitting as the Court of Impeachment stands

unfortunate precedent here.

This means that

can ignore, in effect,

the House's impeachment.

It doesn't make any

difference whether our friends on the other side thought

he should have been impeached or not.

He was.

And by doing what

we just did,

we have, in effect,

ignored

the directions of the House

which were to have

a trial.

We had no evidence,

no procedure.

This is a day that's not a proud day

in the history of the Senate.

The White House

welcomes the move, saying the Senate

rightly voted down the basis

impeachment. Republican House Speaker

Mike Johnson, meanwhile, called the Senate

vote shameful.

Sports now, the Philadelphia 76ers

outlasted the Miami Heat in their play

in showdown 105-104.

Reigning MVP

Joel Embid powered the Sixers

with 23 points and 15 rebounds

while Nicholas Batum added

20 markers off the bench.

Tyler Hero led Miami

with 25 points.

The Sixers advanced to the first round of the playoffs

where they will face the second-seeded

New York Knicks.

Formula One's

always been at the forefront of

automotive technology

but this sport has also an eye

towards sustainability and to that end

one team has brought in the services

of 3D printing.

Take a look.

This is a 3D printed car part

that goes into McLaren's Formula One

vehicles. As many as

10,000 parts are needed just

to design, manufacture and test

a Formula One car's front wing

assembly, many of which are single

use. McLaren says

3D printing allows them to help reduce

waste and emissions, heralding

a new era of sustainable

prototyping. Formula One's the most

technologically advanced sport on the planet

and therefore it's great to be using waste

to cut down waste and to be more

efficient in terms of how it produces its

cars. At their

headquarters southwest of London,

McLaren has a lab dedicated to 3D

printing. More than 20 machines

can produce anything from ducts

to body parts to jigs,

models and prototypes of the wind tunnel,

are also 3D printed.

To do this, McLaren

partnered with Israeli-US company

Stratasys, allowing the team to

print the range of filaments, including

carbon fiber and recycled materials.

Stratasys says it prints

up to 9,000 parts per

year. Senior Vice President Yan

Ragul. Having the ability to print

100% recycled filaments with their

new software, OpenM, is really

a change for the industry, which enables

them to significantly reduce their

waste, which is one of the top

patients for most of the customers today.

McLaren's Chief Operating Officer

Piers Thin says 3D printing

is also a more efficient way

to build a car. You're able to make

them with little input

and they come off on a

multi-stage build of

a large bed 3D printer.

So it's a very efficient way of making

complex parts

when you need lots and lots of parts

to come together to deliver

a front wing.

Formula One aims to be net zero

by 2030.

All its cars will use 100%

sustainable fuel in

2026 when new engines

are introduced.

McLaren were certified

as Formula One's first carbon neutral

team as long ago as 2011.

But the sport is struggling

to cut emissions, especially

when teams and fans have to travel

to races. Jeremy Hart

is a motorsport commentator.

But the problem is at the moment that

because it's

so popular, people want to see races

in their own country.

And in the next few weeks,

it goes from China to Miami,

back to Europe for two races,

over to Montreal in Canada,

and back to Europe again.

So what needs to be looked at much

more carefully are the emissions

in moving the sport around the planet.

And that'll do it for today.

Thanks a lot for joining us.
