Time for the speed read. Let's start with a school shooting in Nashville from CNN. A female student has died and another student was wounded in a shooting Wednesday morning at Antioch High School in Nashville. The male shooter then killed himself after killing that female student and wounding the two students.
A police spokesperson says a 17-year-old that was armed with a pistol fired multiple shots in a school cafeteria at around 11.09 a.m. Vanderbilt University Medical Center confirms that one of the females had died in the shooting. Another female is in stable condition with what's being described as a grazed wound to the arm. And then a male with a facial injury was also wounded but not shot.
Internationally, a quick update on the ceasefire hostage deal in the Middle East from the Times of Israel. Top officials from the U.S., Israel and Egypt were reportedly already moving on the second stage of the Gaza hostage ceasefire deal on Wednesday, about two weeks ahead of the scheduled date for the discussions to begin.
Remember, the discussions were supposed to start 16 days after phase one began. The report comes as the prime minister of Qatar said that he was ready to start mediating talks on the second stage of the three phase deal as soon as possible. The U.S. Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, has said he is committed to reaching the second phase.
As we've talked about here on this podcast, there's been a lot of concern that the first phase was actually the easy part and that this deal wouldn't make it past that initial six week ceasefire. which would see the release of 33 hostages, but would leave more than 60 others still in Gaza.
According to the latest numbers, 91 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7th are still in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.
From Reuters, Prince Harry reached a last-minute deal on Wednesday with Rupert Murdoch's UK-based News Group newspapers after suing them for alleged illegal activities by journalists and private investigators working for the newspapers. NGN, the publisher of The Sun, offered a full and unequivocal apology for the serious intrusion into Harry's private life from 1996 to 2011.
Harry's attorney read a statement in court emphasizing the tabloid's profound impact on Harry and his family. It is the first time that NGN admitted to any wrongdoing by the son. The statement also acknowledged the son's intrusion on the life of Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, including for phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information that impacted his family.
Harry, along with co-defendant and former Labor Party member Tom Watson, accused NGN of perjury and cover ups, including deleting 30 million emails and relevant other records.
Okay, now to some media business news from CNBC. CNN planning to lay off hundreds of employees as it refocuses the business around a global digital audience. The layoff comes as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products today. The cuts are said to help CNN lower production costs and consolidate teams.
Certain shows that are produced in New York or Washington may move to Atlanta, where production can be done more cheaply, according to sources. For the most part, the job cuts won't affect CNN's most recognizable names who are under contract.
And finally, from MarketSnacks, Netflix added nearly 19 million new customers at the end of last year. That's more than double expectations, and it's also its biggest quarterly growth ever. So it topped 300 million global subscribers for the first time. Fans are tuning in for Squid Game 2. carry on and also live sports like WWE.
Netflix also hiked its sales forecast for the year as it preps for the return of hits like Wednesday and the final season of Stranger Things. And with that, Netflix hiking prices for both its standard ad free tier and its cheaper ad plan, which has fueled subscriptions and profit growth since it launched in 2022. So the standard account with ads now costs $7.99 a month.
Yeah, it's kind of lame.
But the ad-free subscription is $18, and the premium plan is $25 a month. So those prices include the hikes of $1, $2.50, and $2 per month, respectively.
It adds up.
And studies have actually found that women surgeons get better results than men.
I highly recommend for anyone who is interested and has not read yet Philip Roth's The Plot Against America. It's an alternative history where FDR loses the presidential election in 1940 to Charles Lindbergh and how that just alters life for one Jewish boy in New Jersey in particular.
And would you believe that my daughter actually knows every word to it because it was one of the songs that was in her Barbie show a couple of weeks ago.
I'm like, oh, no, we are in trouble.
