00:15Kamala Harris concedes defeat to Donald Trump as she warns of potential dark times to come.
00:20Democrats blame U.S. President Joe Biden for Kamala Harris' loss as exit polls show working-class
00:25voters and Hispanics voted for Trump.
00:28The controversial raid of an alleged POGO in Malate, Manila, triggers the relief of
00:32the national capital region's police chief.
00:34Australia is set to pass a law banning social media use for children under 16.
00:39And scientists say 2024 will be the world's warmest year since records began.
00:45U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race on Wednesday, November
00:506, but vows to keep fighting for the ideals that powered her campaign.
00:55In a speech at her alma mater, Howard University, a historically black college, Harris warns
01:00supporters, many of them in tears, of potential dark times to come.
01:04She tells the crowd to continue to fight for the dignity that all people deserve.
01:08Harris pledges to keep on fighting for women's rights and against gun violence.
01:12Harris encourages her supporters, especially young people, not to give up even in their
01:16disappointment.
01:18You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world.
01:25And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair.
01:29This is not a time to throw up our hands.
01:33This is a time to roll up our sleeves.
01:38Exit polls show Trump's increasing strength among working-class voters and non-white Americans
01:42helped grow his share of the vote almost everywhere.
01:45Edison Research finds some 46% of Hispanic voters picked Trump, up from 32% in 2020 when
01:51Trump lost to Joe Biden.
01:53Trump won 55% of Hispanic men, 19 points more than the 36% share he won four years earlier,
02:00while he garnered support from 38% of Hispanic women, up eight points from 2020.
02:05Meantime, anger and soul-searching take hold of the Democratic Party after Vice President
02:10Kamala Harris' election loss.
02:11The sharpest criticism contained accusations that the party had lied to its supporters
02:16about President Joe Biden's mental fitness, until a disastrous TV debate with Donald Trump.
02:21One Harris aide says the party could have won with someone who broke from Biden's legacy
02:25and presented as a candidate of change.
02:29The controversial raid of an alleged Philippine offshore gaming operator,
02:33Orpogo, in Malate, Manila, triggers the relief of Police Major General Sidney Hernia
02:38from his post as the chief of the National Capital Region Police Office, or NCRPO.
02:43This follows a messy operation led by the NCRPO on October 29,
02:47where a hub in Century Peak Tower was raided on the power of search warrants.
02:52The company owners condemned the raid and filed complaints against NCRPO officials and personnel.
02:57Interior Secretary John Vic Ramulia confirms Hernia's relief
03:01and the appointment of Police Brigadier General Reynaldo Tamundong as acting NCRPO chief.
03:06The Malate operation also triggered a tiff between the NCRPO
03:09and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC,
03:13as initial reports from the raid attributed the operation to PAOC.
03:17Spokesman Winston Cascio reportedly said,
03:19please do not associate PAOC with flawed operations.
03:24The Australian government is set to legislate a ban on social media for children under 16
03:29in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law in 2025.
03:34Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says excessive social media use increases children's risks,
03:39such as harmful body image for girls and misogynist content aimed at boys.
03:44A number of countries have already vowed to curb children's use of social media through legislation,
03:49though Australia's policy is one of the most stringent.
03:52Australia is trialing an age verification system to aid blocking children from accessing
03:56social media platforms and will use verification methods like biometrics or government identification.
04:02Legislation will be introduced into the Australian Parliament this year,
04:06with the laws coming into effect 12 months after being ratified.
04:09Australia's communications minister says platforms that would likely be impacted
04:13would include Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, and YouTube.
04:192024 is virtually certain to eclipse 2023 as the world's warmest since records began.
04:25The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, or C3S,
04:29reports in January to October the average global temperature had been so high
04:34that 2024 was sure to be the world's hottest year.
04:37The scientists say 2024 will also be the first year in which the planet is more than 1.5 degrees
04:42Celsius hotter than in 1850 to 1900 when humans began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale.
04:50The data is released ahead of the United Nations' COP 29 climate summit in Azerbaijan,
04:55where countries will try to agree to a huge increase in funding to tackle climate change.
05:00Countries agreed in the 2015 Paris Agreement to try to prevent global warming surpassing
05:051.5 degrees Celsius to avoid its worst consequences.
05:09Scientists now expect the world to breach that threshold around 2030.
05:15And that's today's wrap, I'm Cara Oliver, thank you for watching.
