Iran War Talks, Open AI Shutters App, ‘Robot Umpires’ and more

0:00Hey there, from CNN, I'm David Rhine, with the five things you need to know for Wednesday, March 25th. Around 1,000 U.S. paratroopers are on standby to deploy to the Middle East in the coming days, while President Donald Trump says the talks and the war with Iran are going well. All this is really fluid, but what we do know is the troops are part of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, and it's according to two sources familiar with the matter. That's in addition to the thousands of U.S. forces already headed to the region. Trump expressed optimism yesterday that a deal to end the war is in sight. We're in negotiations right now, they're doing it along with Marco J.D., we have a number of people doing it, and the other side I can tell you, I'd like to make a deal. And in fact, two senior administration officials tell CNN that Trump administration officials are working to arrange a meeting in Pakistan this weekend to discuss an off-ramp to the war. Again, the officials caution the planning is fluid and the location or who attends could change. But Tehran is yet to confirm any talks are happening and is taunting the Trump administration's

1:03efforts to strike a deal to end the war, and Iranian military official question if Washington is negotiating with itself. We got to take a quick break, but stick around, we got more coming up, including the latest on the investigation into that anti-Semitic arson attack in London. You said you were over him, but his hoodie is stealing your rotation. It's time. Grab your phone, snap a few pics, and sell it on D-Pop, list it in minutes, with no selling fees. And just like that, a guy 500 miles away just paid full price for your closure, and right on cue. Nope, but I've got tonight's dinner paid for. Start selling on D-Pop, where taste recognizes taste. List now with no selling fees, payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See website for details. British police have arrested two men following a suspected anti-Semitic arson attack in a neighborhood home to London's largest Jewish community. Several ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer rescue organization were set on fire earlier

2:05this week. Two men aged 47 and 45 were arrested in London on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. They remain in custody at a London police station, as officers are searching their respective properties, that's according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police release today. People say the investigation is ongoing, with CCTV footage suggesting that at least three people were involved. Savannah Guthrie is opening up for the first time after her mother Nancy was abducted from her Arizona home nearly two months ago. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable. She told her NBC Today Show colleague Hoda that she still believes someone could have information that could help authorities, and is consumed by the thought of what her mother went through. Full interview will air Thursday and Friday. In the clip release today Guthrie did not talk about whether she believes her mother is

3:07still alive. NBC has not announced a return date for Guthrie to return to the Today Show yet, but a person close to the show said they anticipate Guthrie coming back to the show sometime in April. An AI says it's shutting down its video generation app Sora, only six months after it launched. CNN's AI correspondent Hadass Gold is here. Hadass, I remember hearing about Sora for a while there. What happened? Hey, David. So Sora blew up online after launching its standalone app last September, but it also drew criticism from copyright holders and others for using others intellectual property, and the company behind Judge BT said the reason that they're shutting Sora down was to focus on other priorities, because apps like Sora, they take up a lot of compute. An open AI would rather focus on things like robotics research and coding apps. A source also tells CNN that open AI's deal with Disney that allowed its characters to be part of those user-generated AI videos will also no longer move forward as a result of Sora shutting down.

4:07One more break when we come back, the robots have come from Major League Baseball. Hey, I'm Anderson Cooper. From my podcast, all there is, we explore grief and loss in all its complexities. You'll hear deeply moving and honest discussions with people who have faced and are living with life-altering losses. Singer, songwriter, and actress Sarah Bareilles. I'm really honored to be here. You've actually listened to this podcast. Many, many times. Yes, yes. I'll drive you to it. I guess my own grief. You realize how ununique you are, and how much everyone is carrying, and how I think really people want permission to share, how much pain they're carrying at any given moment to know that it's okay to be in so much pain, because I think we all are in different ways. Talking grief, building community, that's what the podcast is all about. This is all there is. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.

5:09It's opening night of the Major League Baseball season, the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants kick things off at 8 p.m. Eastern. There's a big change to the game this year, you should know about. After being tested in the minors, robot umpires will officially debut this season. Now, it's not quite what it sounds like. A human umpire will still be behind the plate, but if a better or catcher disagrees with a ball strike call, instead of tossing their equipment or cursing in the ump's face, they can tap the top of their helmet immediately, and the pitch will be reviewed by the automated ball strike system or ABS. Fans in the stadium and at home will then see a computer generated graphic of the strike zone tailored to the batter's height and get to see precisely where the ball landed. Now, will this prevent epic manager meltdowns with their kicking dirt and throwing equipment? Maybe, maybe not, unless we reel those can be kind of fun to watch as long as no one's getting hurt. But MLB is hoping this new system will cut down on ejections, and fans can have a little more faith that the calls are accurate. It is always baseball is unpredictable, so the calls still may not go your way, and

6:09that's a fan like me would know. Alright, that's all for us right now, thank you, as always, for listening, we'll love another update later tonight, talk to you later. I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. This week on the podcast, Terms of Service, there's a growing category of products aimed specifically at addressing women's unique health needs. These tools and services are sometimes known as FEM tech, and they can provide big opportunities and benefits, but they can also come with some risks. To walk us through all of this, I spoke with Bethany Corbin. Bethany is an attorney and CEO of FEM Innovation, where she advises startups, clinicians, and healthcare organizations. In my opinion, what it really does is gives us a collective language to talk about women's healthcare innovation and the tools that are out there so that we can take control of our healthcare experiences and know how to advocate for ourselves in a system that's probably not been designed to advocate for us.
