Wing, a drone business backed by Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Apian, a British technology start-up, have launched a drone service for NHS blood sample deliveries in London.
What Happened:&nbsp;This new drone service, operating between Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals, reduces delivery time for blood samples from 30 minutes by van or motorbike to just 2 minutes, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/dbd69ffe-252c-4d79-8f1f-ae9474f5b955">reported</a> The Times.
The drones are used to transport critical samples from patients at risk of bleeding disorders, helping to speed up decisions for surgeries and ensuring quick access to lab analysis.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, "Reducing blood sample delivery from 30 min to 2 min means faster results and quicker care for patients in critical need. Important use case for drone technology."

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This initiative comes after Alphabet reported a 15% year-over-year increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">third-quarter revenue</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s extraordinary momentum.
The drone project also aligns with Alphabet&#8217;s previous ventures into drone delivery services, such as its partnership with DoorDash in the U.S. to deliver food items.
Apian, which identifies itself as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38088421/doordash-partners-with-googles-wing-for-drone-delivery-pilot-in-the-us-to-fly-food-to-your-front-doo">&#8220;healthcare logistics&#8221; business</a>, aims to become the &#8220;Deliveroo of medical transport&#8221;,&nbsp;creating a platform to match&nbsp;clinicians with urgent transport requests&nbsp;and commercial drone companies.
The company&nbsp;was founded in 2020 by&nbsp;Dr. Christopher Law, Dr. Hammad Jeilani, and&nbsp;Alexander Trewby, formerly of Google&nbsp;Health.
Price Action: As of the latest data, Alphabet's Class A shares declined 0.24% in after-hours trading to $175.15, while Class C shares slipped 0.20% to $177. In the regular session on Thursday, Class A and Class C shares closed at $175.58 and $177.35, respectively, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

President-elect Donald Trump met Argentina President&nbsp;Javier Milei at his Mar-a-Lago resort Thursday. This was his first meeting with a world leader since winning the elections last week.
What Happened: Milei congratulated Trump on his election victory, lending support to the shared ideas of liberty and economic prosperity, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-15/argentine-president-milei-praises-trump-at-mar-a-lago-event?srnd=homepage-europe">Bloomberg</a> reported. 
"Today, the winds of freedom are blowing much stronger,"&nbsp;he said in Spanish at the America First Policy Institute event.&nbsp;&#8220;I am exhilarated to be able to share with the new U.S. administration the same level of freedom, and I'm convinced that together we will restore it to the place it deserves.
Milei, who assumed office a year ago, also praised tech mogul Elon Musk, who was in the audience, for promoting free speech through X. 
Trump, in turn, acknowledged Milei&#8217;s speech, stating, &#8220;Your speech was beautiful, but the job you've done is incredible.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Milei has earned praise from Trump for his economic policies. During an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40329146/trump-praises-pro-bitcoin-argentina-president-javier-mileis-maga-like-economic-policies-in">interview</a> with Musk In August, the president-elect highlighted Argentina&#8217;s prosperity under Milei&#8217;s leadership, drawing parallels to his own &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; policy.
There has been significant bonhomie between Musk and Milei as well. The two met warmly in September <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40994028/elon-musk-dons-his-maga-hat-to-meet-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-duo-discuss-argenti">on the sidelines</a> of Argentina&#8217;s national speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
Prior to that, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">expressed his admiration</a> for Milei&#8217;s efforts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">restoring Argentina&#8217;s stature</a>.
Milei secured victory in the November elections after promising large cuts in public spending to address Argentina&#8217;s fiscal deficit and increasing inflation. His libertarian stance is also reflected in his support for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), making him one of the very few heads of state to openly endorse the asset.
However, the president has also faced criticism for his austerity measures, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40825073/pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-triumphs-as-pension-spending-hike-stalled-in-argentinas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with many taking to the streets </a>to oppose his attempts to halt the increase in pension spending.

&#8220;We, in many respects, have&nbsp;already consolidated. We don&#8217;t really&nbsp;need more assets right now,&nbsp;either from a distribution or&nbsp;from a content perspective to&nbsp;thrive in basically a disruptive&nbsp;media world,&#8221; Iger said.
Disney&#8217;s senior executive vice president&nbsp;and CFO, Hugh Johnston, also rejected the idea of divestitures, stating that he did not see a value-creating opportunity for Disney in this regard.

Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings were boosted by streaming gains, strong box office performance, and solid park performance. The company reported a 6% YoY revenue growth to $22.57 billion, marginally beating the analyst consensus of $22.35 billion.
Comcast is exploring a spinoff of its NBCU Cable Networks into a new company. This move was announced by Comcast president Mike Cavanagh at the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings.
Comcast reported a revenue decline of 6.5% YoY to $32.07 billion at the time, beating the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41648656/comcast-reports-3rd-quarter-2024-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $31.64 billion</a>.
Price Action: Disney shares closed Thursday's session with a 6.23% gain, finishing at $109.12. However, in after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight dip, settling at $108.50 as of the latest update.
In contrast, Comcast shares declined by 0.98% in Thursday&#8217;s session, closing at $43.48, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bob Iger Slams The Brakes On New M&A Amid Comcast's Cable Spinoff: Disney Doesn't 'Really Need More Assets' To Compete

Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and&nbsp;NASA&nbsp;have introduced an AI tool, Earth Copilot, to simplify the access and understanding of Earth&#8217;s scientific data.
What Happened: On Thursday, the tech behemoth and the space agency announced the AI chatbot that can respond to queries about our planet by referring to NASA&#8217;s vast data repository.
The tool is intended to &#8220;democratize&#8221; access to scientific data, making it more comprehensible for non-researchers.
Sharing the development on X, formerly Twitter, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said NASA's geospatial data offers insights on climate, air quality, and disasters, but its complexity makes it hard to navigate.
&#8220;With Earth Copilot, they&#8217;re making it easier than ever for anyone to access that data,&#8221; he stated.

At present, Earth Copilot is exclusively&nbsp;available to NASA scientists and&nbsp;researchers for evaluation of its capabilities.
The subsequent step will be to consider&nbsp;its integration into NASA's Visualization,&nbsp;Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA)platform, which already provides&nbsp;access to some of the&nbsp;agency&#8217;s data.

Satya Nadella Touts Microsoft's Latest AI Mission: Making NASA's Earth Data Speak Plain English

&nbsp;XRP and Litecoin racked up impressive gains Thursday even as blue-chip cryptocurrencies took a breather.
What happened: Payment-focused cryptocurrency XRP emerged as the best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, surging nearly 18%.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume soared 50% to $10.54 billion, making it one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours.
The rally followed SEC Chair Gary Gensler's remarks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41993524/gary-gensler-hints-at-ending-his-stint-as-sec-chair-defends-crypto-regulation-agenda">suggesting he may be ending his stint</a>.&nbsp;

With the latest upswing, XRP's weekly gains nearly hit 50%.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hard fork Litecoin was also among the top gainers, surging over 8% in the last 24 hours. The proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency topped $84 for the first time in over five months.&nbsp;
The jump came in response to a rather bizarre post by Litecoin's X handle, declaring that it identifies itself as a meme coin.&nbsp;
While the objective may have been to humorously contrast LTC&#8217;s lackluster trajectory with that of meme currencies, it seems that the bait worked.

The uptick observed for XRP and LTC was in contrast to the corrective price action of Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) on Thursday.
Year-to-date, XRP's gains improved by 33%, while LTC continued to be a laggard at 12%. In comparison, Bitcoin was up over 108%, while Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and BNB (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) rose 105% and 99%, respectively.
