Sunny Morning sends you. In local news, train
service through East Boston was temporarily halted
by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
on Monday evening after a sinkhole emerged on
a bridge above the railroad tracks. At approximately
5 .30 p .m., the agency suspended Blue Line trains
while inspections were conducted on the bridge
between Wood Island and Orient Heights stations.
Shuttle buses were deployed to replace train
service between Logan Airport and Suffolk Downs
until around 6 .40pm. Following the resumption
of service, trains operated at reduced speeds
as crews made repairs to the bridge. Now on to
sports. As June approaches, Major League Baseball's
trade deadline looms. offering contending teams
a chance to enhance their rosters while non -contenders
look to rebuild for the 2026 season. Currently,
nine teams are expected to become sellers, including
the Rockies, White Sox, Pirates, Athletics, Orioles,
Marlins, Angels, Nationals, and Diamondbacks.
Players like Ryan O 'Hearn and Cedric Mullins
from the Orioles along with Zach Gallen and Merrill
Kelly from the Diamondbacks, could attract interest.
With potential trades on the horizon, teams face
pivotal decisions ahead. In local sports. Last
night at Fenway, the Red Sox dropped a close
one to the Angels, 4 -3 in 10 innings. The Sox
tied it up in the 6 with a homer from Rafael,
but the Angels clinched it with a run in the
10th. Kelly took the loss, while Detmers earned
the save for Los Angeles. Despite out -hitting
the Angels with 10 hits to 8, the Sox couldn't
capitalize, standing at 29 wins and 34 losses.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Sox face the Angels at

Los Angeles with a 1 .48 ERA. First pitch is
at 135, with sunny skies and a warm 83 degrees
expected. In top news, a new study suggests that
Earth's core is literally leaking gold. While
most of the planet's precious metals lie hundreds
of miles beneath the surface, Scientists have
discovered a particular isotope of ruthenium
in volcanic rock samples. This indicates that
precious metals are oozing from the core into
the mantle, which comprises 84 % of Earth's volume.
Researchers developed new procedures to detect
microscopic markers, confirming that material
from the core is rising to the surface. This
research supports geological theories about oceanic
islands and opens up a new perspective on Earth's
inner dynamics. In business news, major automakers
are urgently seeking solutions to China's control
over rare earth magnets, which could threaten
their production lines. With fears of imminent
shutdowns, companies are exploring options like
relocating parts manufacturing to China. or shipping
motors there for magnet installation. China recently
mandated export permits for these critical materials,
which are essential for electric vehicle motors
and other automotive functions. Automakers are
also looking for alternative sources in Europe
and Asia, but these may not meet current demand.
Without immediate action, production delays and
shutdowns could become a reality for the industry.

now, back to the show. Let's talk science. A
captivating new study suggests that human intelligence
may have roots in gravitational waves. First
detected in 2015, these waves play a crucial
role in life on Earth. The study highlights how
gravitational waves from binary neutron star
collisions ejected heavy elements essential for
forming Earth's molten core. This process not
only created our planet's magnetosphere, but
also initiated plate tectonics, enabling evolution.
Lead author Bernard Schutz explains that these
explosions are responsible for the elements that
shaped life. As scientists advance detection
tools, they aim to explore the cosmic connections
that lead to our existence. and in entertainment
news. The sixth installment in the Karate Kid
franchise, Karate Kid Legends, has officially
premiered, although critics have mixed feelings.
Despite this, fans are enjoying the film, which
features beloved characters like Jackie Chan
as Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso,
alongside new student Ben Wang as Lai Fong. Director
Jonathan Entwistle emphasized that this movie
is not a Cobra Kai film, but rather a continuation
within the Karate Kid universe. While a post
-credits scene includes Johnny Lawrence, watching
Cobra Kai is not necessary. However, the series
remains wildly entertaining and worth the watch.
