00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,400 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:24,940 178 years ago, today in 1846, astronomer Johann Gottfried Gell became the first person ever 5 00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:30,960 to observe the planet Neptune, the existence of which had been mathematically predicted 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,680 by Urbane Gene Joseph Le Verrier and John Couch Adams. 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:43,020 This remarkable discovery expanded our understanding of the solar system and highlighted the power 8 00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:46,520 of mathematical prediction in astronomy. 9 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:52,520 And tomorrow, we'll dive into the first observation of Uranus. 10 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,640 And now, it's time for the weather report. 11 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,920 It looks like we're in for a slight chance of morning rain before 9, then mostly cloudy 12 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,880 skies with a high around 66 and a gentle northeast breeze. 13

Sunny mornings send you. 31 00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:40,000 In local news, a lawyer who represented Boston gangster James Whitey Bulger has been appointed 32 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,880 to prosecute Karen Reed in her retrial. 33 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Reed's previous murder trial, regarding the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, 34 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,280 ended in a hound jury. 35 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,360 Norfolk County, Massachusetts, District Attorney Michael Morrissey announced that Attorney 36 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Hank Brennan will serve as Special Assistant District Attorney for this case. 37 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,960 Brennan pledged to ensure that Reed receives a fair trial and emphasized his commitment 38 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,680 to presenting all relevant facts surrounding the death of John O'Keefe, meticulously, 39 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:19,760 ethically and zealously. 40 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,640 Now on to sports. 41 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,520 Last night on Sunday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 3-0 with a narrow 42 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,920 22-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. 43 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:37,820 The Chiefs defense came up big with a crucial fourth-down stop late in the game to seal 44 00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:44,200 the win, while Patrick Mahomes connected with Juju Smith Schuster for a touchdown. 45 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:51,440 In another thrilling matchup, the Ravens held off the Cowboys for a 28-25 victory. 46 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Derrick

Buffalo Gills, who are riding a 2-0 start, will host 49 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,760 the winless Jacksonville Jaguars. 50 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Buffalo's defense, led by Von Miller, aims to continue their dominant play, while quarterback 51 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,880 Josh Allen leads a high-powered offense. 52 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,560 The Jaguars, still searching for their first win, hope Trevor Lawrence and Travis Edien 53 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,160 can spark a much-needed turnaround. 54 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400 In local sports. 55 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,400 This weekend, Boston College pulled off an emotional comeback, defeating Michigan State 56 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,080 23-19 in the annual Red Bandana game. 57 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,400 Down by 3

streak. 63 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:23,240 On the diamond, the Red Sox swept a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. 64 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Kristin Casas was the star in the opener, hitting three home runs and driving in seven 65 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240 runs in Boston's 8-1 win. 66 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,480 In the nightcap, Ronny Gonzalez took over, hitting a three-run homer to lead Boston to 67 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,260 a 9-3 victory. 68 00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:45,120 The Red Sox have now won four straight, sitting at 78-78. 69 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Tonight, they faced the Blue Jays in a pivotal game with Tanner Huck taking them out. 70 00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,620 In top news, in a revealing exploration, a recent essay discusses how pediatricians 71 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:06,240 may have unintentionally contributed to the peanut allergy epidemic. 72 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,840 By advising parents to avoid exposing children to peanuts until the age of three, doctors 73 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:16,960 transformed a rare issue into a widespread health concern. 74 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Observations from two students, Asamganiyam Minking and Faith Magwenzi, highlight the 75 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,040 perplexing prevalence of peanut allergies in the United States, contrasting it with 76 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:34,120 their experiences in Africa, where such allergies are virtually non-existent. 77 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,000 This situation raises questions about dietary practices and public health policies in America 78 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,120 as the fears surrounding peanut allergies grows. 79 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:52,120 In business news, Boeing has announced the departure of Ted Colbert, CEO of Boeing Defense 80 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,400 Space and Security, marking a significant shift in upper management. 81 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,700 While many may point to the failed test flight of the Starliner as the main reason, this 82 00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:05,960 explanation oversimplifies the situation. 83 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,760 New CEO Kelly Ortberg's first major interaction with the division was indeed during this incident, 84 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,400 which may have been the tipping point. 85 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,280 The Starliner, a reusable space capsule designed to compete with SpaceX's Dragon capsule, 86 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,880 is part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transport program, but has faced numerous delays since 87 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,040 its contract award in 2014. 88 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,800 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,000. 89 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,440 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 90 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,560 And Solana is $145. 91 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:51,400 Moving on to a more local vibe, in our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working 92 00:07:51,400 -->

00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,640 highlighting the serious risks of cyber attacks for health care organizations. 104 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:54,040 In March 2023, a Pennsylvania woman, referred to as Jane Doe, learned that hackers had obtained 105 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,440 and posted her naked photos while she underwent radiation treatments. 106 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,960 The health network refused to pay a ransom of more than $5 million. 107 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,600 Jane Doe, in her 50s, became the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit, claiming that the 108 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,360 organization failed to protect sensitive patient information. 109 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,480 This incident underscores the alarming frequency of such breaches in American health care. 110 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,200 And in entertainment news. 111 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,160 New kids on the block are heading to Las Vegas with the right stuff for their first ever 112 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,060 residency in Sin City. 113 00:09:34,060 --> 00:09:41,080 On September 19, the iconic group from Dorchester, Massachusetts, announced this exciting venture. 114 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:48,040 In 2025, they will call Las Vegas home, performing at the Dolby Live at Park & Gym during the 115 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,740 months of June, July, and November. 116 00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:56,120 This venue also hosts Mariah Carey's residency. 117 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,000 While there's no guarantee of a surprise appearance from former member Mark Wahlberg, 118 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,080 Donnie Wahlberg promises a cherished and immersive experience, stating they aim to elevate their 119 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,960 performance and fan interaction to the next level. 120 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:18,320 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 121 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,120 And today, our quote comes from the French novelist and pioneer of science fiction, Jules 122 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,320 Verne. 123 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,320 And he said, 124 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:35,240 Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and at last they will come together. 125 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,520 Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other. 126 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,680 Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet. 127 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,960 It is a fatality, a question of time. 128 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720 That is all. 129 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,380 And
