In local 00:02:54.509 --> 00:02:58.370 news, workers at Fenway Park and Indium Music 00:02:58.370 --> 00:03:01.750 Hall, represented by the Unite Here Local 26 00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:05.129 Union, are preparing for a strike vote in June, 00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:09.610 advocating for higher wages. The union, which 00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:13.009 includes over 1 ,000 Aramark workers, will hold 00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:17.090 the vote from June 13th to 15th. They are negotiating 00:03:17.090 --> 00:03:20.150 a new contract with Aramark after the previous 00:03:20.150 --> 00:03:24.430 one expired at the end of 2024. The union stated 00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:27.569 both parties are far apart on reaching an agreement. 00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:31.409 Workers currently earn less than $20 an hour 00:03:31.409 --> 00:03:34.490 and seek competitive wages that reflect the cost 00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:44.460 of living in Boston. Now on to sports. In a thrilling 00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:47.039 playoff showdown, the Celtics beat the Knicks, 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.500 winning 127 -102, despite being without star 00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:55.919 player Jason Tatum. Derek White led the charge 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.879 with 34 points, including seven three -pointers, 00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:02.800 while Jalen Brown contributed 26 points and 12 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.039 assists, marking a historic performance.

Luke Cornett had 00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:17.110 a standout game with 10 points, 9 rebounds, and 00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:21.589 7 blocks. The Knicks, led by Josh Hart with 24 00:04:21.589 --> 00:04:24.209 points, will seek to clinch the series in New 00:04:24.209 --> 00:04:29.550 York on Friday. In local sports. Last night at 00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:32.189 Fenway Park, the Red Sox were edged out by the 00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:36.970 Tigers, 6 -5. Despite strong offense, including 00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:40.740 a two -run homer from Bregman, At another RBI 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.800 from Devers, the Sox couldn't hold the lead. 00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:48.259 Chapman took the loss, allowing a decisive ninth 00:04:48.259 --> 00:04:51.720 -inning single. The game was a tight battle, 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.899 with Boston logging 11 hits and one error. The 00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:00.620 Sox now stand at 22 -23, with Detroit improving 00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:06.269 to 29 -15. Tomorrow night, the Sox face the Braves 00:05:06.269 --> 00:05:09.209 at Fenway for Game 1 of a three -game series. 00:05:10.970 --> 00:05:15.269 In top news, the Trump administration is planning 00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:19.009 to roll back limits on four toxic, forever chemicals 00:05:19.009 --> 00:05:21.889 known as PFAS, which have been linked to serious 00:05:21.889 --> 00:05:25.689 health issues, including cancer. The Environmental 00:05:25.689 --> 00:05:29.329 Protection Agency administrator stated that while 00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:33.199 limits for the two most notorious types PFOA 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.319 and PFOS will remain, the agency will seek to 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.459 rescind regulations on newer PFAS. This decision 00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:44.379 faces significant backlash from powerful business 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:47.240 groups, which argue that compliance costs would 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.720 be much higher than estimated. Advocates for 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.360 public health criticize the move as a victory 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.579 for the chemical industry at the expense of affected 00:05:56.579 --> 00:06:02.680 communities. In business news. Two years after 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.500 partnering with OpenAI, financial technology 00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:09.959 startup Klarna is expressing a desire for human 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.839 connection again. Initially excited about replacing 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.040 human workers with artificial intelligence, the 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.160 company is now planning a recruitment drive, 00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:22.439 realizing that its AI customer service agents 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:29.399 struggle to meet expectations. acknowledged the 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.060 importance of having a human option for customers. 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.800 This marks a significant shift from his previous 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.600 belief that AI could handle all jobs. Surveys 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.180 reveal that many business leaders regret replacing 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:47.160 jobs with AI, noting issues like lack of talent 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.660 and skills and poor performance by AI employees. 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.850 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 1%. to just 00:06:56.850 --> 00:07:03.250 under $103 ,000.

And now, back to the show. 00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:02.360 Let's talk science. In a significant advancement 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.480 for quantum physics, researchers have successfully 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.100 created a Schrodinger's cat state at temperatures 00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:13.680 above absolute zero. Named after physicist Erwin 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.800 Schrodinger, this principle illustrates how particles 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.420 can exist in two states simultaneously, known 00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:24.579 as quantum superposition. Traditionally, achieving 00:08:24.579 --> 00:08:27.399 such states required cooling quantum objects 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.620 to nearly absolute zero. However, a new study 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:33.960 published in the journal Science Advances shows 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.519 that these states were generated at a temperature 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.620 of 1 .8 Kelvin, which remains cold but is notably 00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:44.500 warmer than usual. This breakthrough could transform 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:47.600 quantum computing, potentially eliminating the 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.870 need for costly cooling systems. and in entertainment 00:08:53.870 --> 00:08:58.429 news. The anticipation for James Gunn's Superman 00:08:58.429 --> 00:09:01.549 is building with a new trailer just released. 00:09:02.149 --> 00:09:05.490 The first trailer, launched in December, garnered 00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:09.850 over 250 million views, the highest ever for 00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:14.330 DC Comics and Warner Brothers. Originally titled 00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:17.850 Superman Legacy, the film stars David Cornswet 00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:21.769 as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. 00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:25.690 This is the first solo Superman film in more 00:09:25.690 --> 00:09:29.230 than a decade, set to hit theaters on July 11th. 00:09:30.309 --> 00:09:33.629 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote 00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:37.549 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:09:37.549 --> 00:09:40.649 American writer and philosopher, Ralph Waldo 00:09:40.649 --> 00:09:45.149 Emerson. And he said, Do not go where the path 00:09:45.149 --> 00:09:50.129 may lead. Go instead where there is no path and 00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:54.360 leave a trail. And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:58.139 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:09:58.139 --> 00:10:01.940 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:06.000 local news and the weather reports.
