None of my web browsers knows what to do with https://prod.vodvideo.cbsnews.com/cbsnews/vr/hls/3330898_hls/master.m3u8 nor does VLC.
yt-dlp converts it to a mp4 successfully for me.

Huh, thanks! Based on its name I assumed it was exclusively for YouTube.

It also works in places I wouldn't have expected it, like Twitch livestreams

Unbelievably common YT-DLP W. YT-DWP if you will.
Very hopeful,
"We have to understand what the Russians want," Zelenskyy said.
That would mean peace instead of Ukraine becoming a new South Korea. Ukraine led peace negotiations can bring China in to outbid blackrock for the ruins in the country, and perhaps Chinese peacekeepers instead of nazi EU supporters. The Musk plan that was floated is a non-starter with Russia. EU trade deal finally happening is something Zelensky can try for, but Ukraine's purpose was always suicide to the last Ukrainian, and everything dangled as a carrot disappears when they let go of that course.
EU/US have to step up financial reconstruction offers instead of weaponized nazification to be relevant in the peace.
That would be nice, I think you're right. I don't think they are serious though, sadly.
EU/US have to step up financial reconstruction offers
The offers are likely to be predatory IMF/World Bank loans leading to even more neoliberal/neocolonial privatization & austerity.
The US hasn’t given Ukraine a blessed thing: they’ve all been lend-leases that will take the Ukrainian people generations to pay off.
Yes. While the original permawar/10+ year plan was to the very last Ukrainian, there is still a substantial discount available to Blackrock or US-controlled IMF paying blackrock to take over Ukraine. Unlike the ww2 and post ww2 lend-lease agreements that were government controlled, and had the unfortunate side effect of providing US treasury revenue, Blackrock can directly compensate rulers kind enough to grant it riches.
Russia, as in 2014 Yanukovych times, becomes a reconstruction alternative, with new entrant China able to make offers. Blackrock taking everything for free is harder when a peace deal is made where there is a sliver of Ukrainians left.
