00:00:27,620 leading to the eventual incorporation of Rome into the Kingdom of Italy and limiting papal 6 00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:33,240 governing authority to the Vatican itself and a small district around it. 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,720 This significant event marked the end of the Papal States, unifying Italy and establishing 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,560 Rome as its capital, reshaping the political landscape of the region. 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,640 So now you know. 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,840 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 11 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,200 Expect

night, on Thursday night football, the Patriots were overpowered by the Jets, losing 52 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,160 24-3 at MetLife Stadium. 53 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,640 New England's offense
