Bitcoin has shed almost $800 billion since its October peak. What's behind the plunge? Bitcoin continued to slide on Friday, extending a weeks-long slump that has wiped out nearly $800 billion in value since the cryptocurrency hit its 2025 peak last month.

Since closing at almost $125,000 on Oct. 6, its highest price this year, bitcoin has shed about one-third of its value. On Friday, bitcoin sank below $82,000 before rebounding slightly to $83,509 before noon EDT, according to CoinGecko, a cryptocurrency data aggregator.

The 18-year-old Yamal is known for his passing ability, something that he said naturally suits his style because he has always had strong vision on the field – and because he was not known for his dribbling ability when he was younger. "The funny thing about all this is that as a little kid, I wasn't much of a dribbler," Yamal said in a recent interview with CBS' "60 Minutes," airing on Sunday.

| Broncos beat Commanders: Denver knocks off Washington in OT thriller for ninth consecutive win Denver survives (barely) by halting a Marcus Mariota comeback attempt in OT  The Denver Broncos are officially winners of nine straight. But the AFC West front-runners needed every ounce of effort -- and even some extra time on the game clock -- to outlast the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Continuing a wild day of Week 13 matchups, this one featured a gutsy performance from Washington's Marcus Mariota, who made a third straight start in place of injured quarterback Jayden Daniels. But it ended with a last-gasp defensive stand by Nik Bonitto and the Broncos, who left Landover, Maryland, with a 27-26 overtime victory.

That will remain a question for fan fiction. What we do know for certain is that a man down before the halftime whistle, Chelsea rallied in outstanding fashion. Their pace on the counter robbed the best team in the land of the chance to hold court in the final third; their goalkeeper was exceptional under pressure and they were far superior in the duels.

The confirmation followed a Washington Post report that the first boat was struck a second time, killing a pair of survivors — prompting calls for investigations and concerns in Congress that the follow-up strike may have constituted a war crime.

Sick ants invite self-sacrifice to save colony, scientists discover: "Hey, come and kill me" Sick young ants release a smell to tell worker ants to destroy them to protect the colony from infection, scientists said Tuesday, adding that queens do not seem to commit this act of self-sacrifice. Many animals conceal illness for social reasons. For example, sick humans are known to risk infecting others so they can still go to the office — or the pub. Ant colonies, however, act as one "super-organism" which works to ensure the survival of all, similar to how infected cells in our bodies send out a "find-me and eat-me" signal, according to an Austria-led team of scientists.

President Trump thinks tariff revenue could replace individual income taxes. Experts weigh in. President Trump is floating an idea that could appeal to millions of budget-strained households: using tariff revenue to reduce, or even eliminate, the federal individual income tax. But tax experts are skeptical that import taxes could completely replace income tax, and they say a reduction in income taxes would largely benefit the nation's top earners. "I believe that at some point in the not-too-distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay because the money we're taking in is so great," Mr. Trump said at a Dec. 2 Cabinet meeting, referring to the tariff revenues generated by the wide-ranging duties his...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Much of the excitement surrounding UFC 323 was fueled by Merab Dvalishvili's campaign to be the first fighter to make four successful UFC title defenses in one calendar year. Yan had other plans. Yan didn't look like the UFC bantamweight champion of yore; he looked better. The now two-time champion's lauded boxing was on display, but he showed tremendous improvement in his takedown defense. Most impressively, Yan did something that no elite bantamweight before him could: he kept up with "The Machine." Dvalishvili's pace never slowed, but neither did Yan's.

Sperm donor with cancer-causing gene fathered nearly 200 children across Europe, investigation finds Sperm from a donor who unknowingly carried a cancer-causing gene has been used to conceive nearly 200 babies across Europe, an investigation by 14 European public service broadcasters, including CBS News' partner network BBC News, has revealed. Some children conceived using the sperm have already died from cancer, and the vast majority of those who inherited the gene will develop cancer in their lifetimes, geneticists said. The man carrying the gene passed screening checks before he became a donor at the European Sperm Bank when he was a student in 2005.

How a British couple sparked a global movement for a smartphone-free childhood Daisy Greenwell and Joe Ryrie are the co-founders of Smartphone Free Childhood. The grassroots parent-led movement now has chapters in 39 countries. CBS News For parents Daisy Greenwell and Joe Ryrie, freedom means looking up at the world around them instead of down at their phones, and they're determined to pass that sense of non-digital liberty on to their children. Their daughter started asking for a smartphone when she was just eight years old, because her classmates were getting them. The pressure to have a phone at such a young age surprised Greenwell, and pushed her to look more closely at the trend.

| Australia's new social media ban for kids started with a mom saying, "Do something!" With the world's first social media ban for teenagers under 16 now in effect in Australia, its initial political architect is celebrating a new less-digital era for millions of children — and sharing that the legislation was personally inspired by his wife, for their four children. "She read a book called 'The Anxious Generation,' by Jonathan Haidt," said Peter Malinauskas, the premier of the state of South Australia. "And I will never forget the night she finished reading the book and she put it down on her lap and she turned to me and said, 'You better do something about this!'" Within seven months, and with strong public support, that idea fast became law across the land, winning...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Wolverines pride themselves on producing "Michigan Men," people of character who go on and have lifelong success off the field. Through that way, Michigan became the winningest program in the history of the sport and the first to clear 1,000 victories.

Skydiver dangles from plane in midair after parachute mishap in Australia, video shows What was meant to be a highlight of an Australian air show —16 skydivers in formation, jumping from 15,000 feet — went terribly wrong just as the cameraman and first skydiver stepped out of the door over Tully Airport in Far North Queensland. A reserve parachute deployed by mistake, knocking the camera operator into free fall and flinging the skydiver into the plane's stabilizer. Dramatic video of the Sept. 20 incident was released Thursday by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. In its final report, the agency found the handle on the reserve parachute snagged on the airplane's wing flap, causing it to deploy. While dangling below the Cessna, the skydiver used a hook...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Fumes or smoke entering aircraft cabins is a known problem in aviation.
