This landmark treaty, signed 00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:34.109 by 165 nations, prohibited the development, production, 00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:38.390 stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons.

In local news, in a significant move, 00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:15.030 President Donald Trump is expected to sign an 00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:18.069 executive order directing federal officials to 00:03:18.069 --> 00:03:21.150 create a list of sanctuary cities and states 00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:23.409 that do not comply with immigration enforcement. 00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:27.389 This list may include Boston, frequently criticized 00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:30.129 by Republican officials for its noncompliance 00:03:30.129 --> 00:03:34.009 with federal immigration operations. The order 00:03:34.009 --> 00:03:36.349 would allow the U .S. Attorney General and the 00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:39.569 Secretary of Homeland Security one month to identify 00:03:39.569 --> 00:03:42.379 noncompliant jurisdictions. which could face 00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:46.139 funding cuts and legal action. Boston's Mayor 00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:49.180 Michelle Wu emphasized that the city's policies 00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:52.840 prioritize safety and will remain unchanged despite 00:03:52.840 --> 00:04:02.780 federal pressures. Now on to sports. Shadir Sanders 00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:05.840 learned a crucial lesson in humility during his 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.860 NFL draft experience. Despite being hailed as 00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:12.689 a top prospect, the former Colorado quarterback 00:04:12.689 --> 00:04:16.129 endured a frustrating wait of over two days and 00:04:16.129 --> 00:04:20.189 143 selections before the Cleveland Browns finally 00:04:20.189 --> 00:04:23.670 called his name. While many analysts viewed him 00:04:23.670 --> 00:04:27.029 as a first -round pick, NFL executives had concerns 00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:29.910 about his interviews and perceived arrogance. 00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:33.750 This situation highlights the stark contrast 00:04:33.750 --> 00:04:36.790 between media hype and the realities faced by 00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:40.759 talent evaluators. Now Sanders has the opportunity 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.959 to prove himself, aiming to fulfill his legendary 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:49.740 aspirations in the league. In local sports. Tonight, 00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:52.779 the Celtics can close out the series with a magic 00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:57.620 at the Garden. Tip -off is at 8 .30. Also tonight, 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.620 the Sox are in Toronto for Game 1 of a three 00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:05.000 -game series against the Blue Jays. Garrett Crochet 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.509 takes the mound with a 3 .19 ERA. facing Bowdoin 00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:14.269 Francis. First pitch is at 7 .07 under the dome 00:05:14.269 --> 00:05:20.410 at Rogers Center. In top news, antisemitism in 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:23.269 the United States has surged to levels not seen 00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:27.470 in nearly half a century. A report by the Anti 00:05:27.470 --> 00:05:30.470 -Defamation League indicates an average of 25 00:05:30.470 --> 00:05:35.939 incidents per day, the highest since 1979. Despite 00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:39.459 Jews making up about 2 % of the population, they 00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:42.100 are targeted in more than two -thirds of religious 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:47.100 hate crimes. Rowdy Sharon Brow sporns, Antisemitism 00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:49.939 is always the canary in the coal mine for the 00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:52.560 evisceration of the rights and dignity of all 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.819 people. Incidents related to Israel and Zionism 00:05:56.819 --> 00:05:59.600 have sharply increased, highlighting a troubling 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.720 trend. Experts emphasize the need for education 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.399 and community building, rather than government 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.420 intervention, to combat this alarming situation. 00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:16.459 In business news, last night, CPC News projected 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.180 that the Liberal Party will form the next Canadian 00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:22.459 government, granting Mark Carney a full term 00:06:22.459 --> 00:06:26.259 as Prime Minister. This comes amid ongoing trade 00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:29.680 tensions with the United States. While it remains 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.279 uncertain if the Liberal Party will secure a 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.560 majority, they have currently obtained 160 seats 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.339 in the House of Commons. Carney, a former Goldman 00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:43.139 Sachs banker, successfully defeated his rivals, 00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:45.660 including Pierre Poilever of the Conservative 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.339 Party. The election was heavily influenced by 00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:52.060 President Donald Trump's tariffs, prompting a 00:06:52.060 --> 00:06:54.939 bi -Canadian movement and a shift back to the 00:06:54.939 --> 00:06:59.750 Liberal Party. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is 00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:05.209 unchanged at about $94 ,000. Ethereum is unchanged 00:07:05.209 --> 00:07:10.649 at just under $1 ,800. And Goatsy's Maximus is 00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:16.189 up 10 % to $0 .08. Moving on to a more local 00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:20.009 vibe.

Sunny 00:07:56.779 --> 00:08:00.819 morning sent you by. And now, back to the show. 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.699 Let's talk science. Scientists have made a significant 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:08.459 breakthrough in understanding hailstorm formation, 00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:11.740 a mystery that has puzzled meteorologists for 00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:15.759 years. A study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.800 analyzed 27 hailstones from nine storms in China. 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.040 revealing that hail primarily forms by descending 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.699 steadily or through a single upward push, rather 00:08:26.699 --> 00:08:30.379 than the traditional recycling process. Lead 00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:34.100 author King Hongzhang emphasized, This work fundamentally 00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:38.399 changes how we understand hail formation. The 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.940 findings could enhance weather forecasting and 00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:43.980 improve estimates of hailstorm dangers, though 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.200 funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:53.110 Administration may hinder these efforts. And 00:08:53.110 --> 00:08:56.909 in entertainment news. In The Surfer, Nicolas 00:08:56.909 --> 00:09:00.210 Cage delivers a performance that is undeniably 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:04.210 unhinged. His character, struggling through life's 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:06.889 challenges, attempts to reclaim his childhood 00:09:06.889 --> 00:09:09.850 home near a picturesque Australian surfing spot. 00:09:10.830 --> 00:09:13.850 However, a tough group of locals, reminiscent 00:09:13.850 --> 00:09:17.210 of a motorcycle gang, led by Julian McMahon, 00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:20.590 repeatedly warns him, don't live here, don't 00:09:20.590 --> 00:09:24.029 surf here. The film follows Cage's character 00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:27.610 as he battles desperation and chaos, showcasing 00:09:27.610 --> 00:09:32.309 his unique ability to portray madness. Drawing 00:09:32.309 --> 00:09:35.090 inspiration from real -life surfer gangs, The 00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:37.990 Surfer feels like a nostalgic exploitation film. 00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:41.740 highlighting Cage's unparalleled talent in cinema. 00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:46.299 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote 00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:50.120 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.259 American journalist and author, Robert Quillen. 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.480 And he said, There are glimpses of heaven to 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.639 us in every act or thought or word that raises 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.480 us above ourselves. And that's a wrap for this 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.879 morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.659 and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:16.799 with local news and the weather reports.
