| 0:00.0 | Today is Friday, August 5th. We'll tell you why the U.S. has now declared monkeypox a public |
| 0:04.7 | health emergency. What federal charges police officers are now facing for the raid that killed |
| 0:09.4 | Breonna Taylor two years ago. And he called Sandy Hook a hoax. How much Alex Jones now has to pay |
| 0:15.5 | a victim's parents. Plus a medical breakthrough that has some scientists questioning the meaning of |
| 0:20.5 | death, which two popular streaming services are joining forces and how history was made in space |
| 0:26.4 | this week in multiple ways. Those stories and more news to know next. |
| 0:33.0 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the days news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, |
