Good evening, Wexler County. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. Thank you for being with us tonight. We have got a full hour ahead.
We start tonight on The World Desk, where Tottenham's head coach is learning that money cannot fix a losing mentality after a heavy defeat at Brentford. Canada is promising to match Trump's tariffs dollar for dollar after trade talks collapsed this morning.
Then Criminal Intent - where police in Florida found an abandoned dog by the roadside back in November of last year. Turned out to be a toy reindeer.
Our one hundred and second Florida Man Tribute.
Animals tonight, where the sea urchin video has now led our countdown for forty-eight consecutive hours. Chip has watched it sixteen times.
I stand by that. And A Quick Look at Sports - Pete Crow-Armstrong has just hit his twenty-seventh straight walk-off RBI for the Cubs, extending a major league record nobody thought would last this long.
We will have the full story on The World Desk in just a moment. Stay with us.
THE WORLD DESK
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. We have a lot to cover tonight from overseas.
Big weekend in English football. Two very expensive teams had very bad days.
We begin with Tottenham Hotspur, who lost four to one at Brentford on Saturday. Their head coach Roberto De Zerbi says cash alone cannot fix what he calls a losing mentality.
Tottenham. That's north London.
It is. De Zerbi took over as head coach this season after the club spent heavily in recent transfer windows. He told reporters after the match that money cannot cure what he described as a culture of losing.
Four to one is heavy.
It was. At Brentford, whose stadium holds just over seventeen thousand. The BBC's chief football writer says the loss exposes problems that spending alone will not solve.
Manchester United also lost this weekend. Two to one at Hull City.
Manager Michael Carrick told reporters his side did not look ready but he is refusing to panic. Hull City were promoted to the Premier League this season.
So a newly promoted team beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.
They did. Carrick, who played for United as a midfielder for twelve years, is now managing the club through what he calls a difficult start to the season.
Two very expensive clubs. Two very bad weekends.
It was not a good weekend in English football if you are used to winning.
An update now on the Mount Fuji story we brought you earlier. Prosecutors in Japan say charges will be filed by Friday against the father who left his seven-year-old son alone during a family hike.
He left the boy behind when he got tired and kept hiking with the older son.
That is correct. The seven-year-old was found safe by other climbers later that day. Authorities have not said where on the mountain the child was left, but they confirmed he was unharmed.
Mount Fuji is twelve thousand feet.
Twelve thousand three hundred and eighty-nine at the summit. Prosecutors told the press they are moving forward and charges will be filed by end of business Friday.
Friday.
Britain's Josh Tarling finished third in the opening stage of the Vuelta a España on Saturday, just eight days after his brother Fin lost his life in a crash.
Eight days.
Tarling, who rides for Ineos Grenadiers, completed the time trial in Lisbon and spoke afterward about racing in his brother's memory. The stage was won by Portugal's Nelson Oliveira.
He finished third eight days after his brother died.
Tarling told reporters that finishing the race was what his brother would have wanted.
The robot that beat Usain Bolt's hundred-meter record at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing over the weekend. Honor, the company that built it, still has not released the official time.
The robot ran the distance in nine point three nine seconds during trials on Saturday. Bolt's record, set in two thousand nine, is nine point five eight.
So the robot is faster.
By point one nine seconds, yes. Honor has released video of the run but has not yet confirmed the time through official channels.
Why not?
They have not said. The video shows the robot crossing the finish line and a timer on screen, but Honor has not submitted the time for verification.
So we have a robot that might have beaten the fastest human being who ever lived, but the company will not tell us the time.
That is where we are. The video has been watched more than forty million times.
Forty million people watching a robot run and nobody knows if it counts.
That is correct.
Still ahead tonight on KRAK 11 News, Criminal Intent. A story out of Wexler County involving a man, a truck, and a very specific kind of misunderstanding.
Prosecutors say the truck was never his.
We will have that story in just a few minutes.
CRIMINAL INTENT
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. Tonight we have four dispatches from around the country, all of them strange, none of them from this week.
We are calling them Florida Man Tributes, even though none of them are from Florida.
The spirit crosses state lines.
Back in November of last year, police in Northamptonshire, England, responded to reports of an abandoned dog in a field, midwinter conditions, animal believed to be suffering from exposure.
Officers arrived to find a stuffed reindeer. A toy.
Police said the reindeer received stern words for being caught out in the middle of November, and I quote, 'resting after a test flight.'
That is one hundred and three Florida Man Tributes in forty-three weeks.
Also in March of this year, Phoenix Police responded to a van lockout call and found the individual in distress was a therapy donkey named Henry.
Officers used a slim jim to unlock the vehicle. Henry was unharmed and reportedly in good spirits.
His owner thanked police for what she called a professional rescue.
Back in March of this year, a Girl Scouts troop in New Jersey set up outside a cannabis dispensary and sold what witnesses are describing as an unprecedented volume of cookies.
The troop reportedly sold out in two hours.
Girl Scouts of America said the location may have violated organizational guidelines. No charges have been filed.
And back in April of this year, Hunter Biden challenged Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump to what he called a cage match for charity.
Biden posted the challenge on social media. Neither Trump son has responded publicly.
No venue has been announced, no date has been set, and no promoter has confirmed the bout.
That is the Blotter.
Still ahead tonight — the sea urchin video has now led the KRAK 11 animal countdown for forty-eight consecutive hours, and I have watched it sixteen times.
Animals, in a few minutes.
You are watching KRAK 11 News.
ANIMALS
It is time for Animals.
The KRAK 11 animal countdown, which ranks by how many views a video gained in the last three days.
Not by total views. By growth.
We count differently than YouTube does.
At number three tonight: Baby Deer Trapped On A Freezing Pond. Posted by Sassy, three million one hundred and fifty-four thousand new views.
That is eight straight days at number three.
Number two: When Kindness Goes Both Ways. Posted by Windypaws, four million one hundred and thirteen thousand new views. YouTube's trending chart has it at number one.
And number one on our count is still the sea urchin video. Posted by Nick DiGiovanni, five million three hundred and forty thousand new views.
Forty-eight consecutive hours at the top.
How many times have you watched it now?
Seventeen.
All three videos are on the KRAK 11 News Reel. The link is in the description.
If you are watching us on YouTube, subscribing costs you nothing and it genuinely helps a station this size.
Coming up in just a few minutes: Pete Crow-Armstrong has now hit walk-off RBIs in twenty-seven consecutive games for the Cubs, which is a record that is starting to sound like a typo.
A Quick Look at Sports is next on KRAK 11 News.
A QUICK LOOK AT SPORTS
A quick look at sports.
Twenty-eight consecutive games.
You checked it again.
Twice. Pete Crow-Armstrong did it again. Walk-off RBI number twenty-eight for the Cubs, beating the Cardinals four to three in the tenth. That is a major league record that keeps getting longer.
The Brewers won their thirty-ninth straight, beating the Reds six to two. That is a new franchise record and they are showing no sign of slowing down.
Magnus Carlsen defended his chess title at the Esports World Cup for the fourth straight year, beating Ian Nepomniachtchi four games to two in the final. Undoubtedly the greatest of all time.
And Durham beat Derbyshire again in Division Two of the County Championship, this time by one hundred and twelve runs. Ben Stokes took four wickets.
Still ahead, the next KRAK 11 News at the top of the hour. We will have the latest on the tariff announcement from Washington and what it means for Wexler County.
That is the scoreboard. We will see you at the top of the hour.
