In local 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.460 news, Massachusetts State Police are making a 00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:59.039 significant change in how they handle fleeing 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.740 vehicles with innovative technology. Troopers 00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:05.539 can now deploy a GPS tracking device from their 00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:08.300 cruiser, allowing them to track, rather than 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:12.139 chase, a suspect's vehicle. Trooper Colton Leary 00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:15.039 explained that activating the device is as simple 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.419 as hitting arm and launch, which allows for real 00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:22.009 -time updates on the vehicle's location. This 00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:25.069 method significantly reduces the dangers associated 00:03:25.069 --> 00:03:28.050 with high -speed chases, which can be hazardous 00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:31.530 for both officers and the public. Currently, 00:03:31.770 --> 00:03:34.210 30 police vehicles are equipped with this system, 00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:37.330 which has a 70 % success rate in attachment. 00:03:42.590 --> 00:03:46.909 Now on to sports. New England Patriots rookie 00:03:46.909 --> 00:03:50.250 running back Trevion Henderson has made the most 00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:53.270 of his opportunity, filling in for injured starter 00:03:53.270 --> 00:03:56.250 Ramondre Stevenson, who has missed the past three 00:03:56.250 --> 00:04:00.150 games because of a toe injury. Henderson's two 00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:03.169 touchdown runs and one receiving touchdown helped 00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:06.949 the Patriots to a 27 -14 victory over the New 00:04:06.949 --> 00:04:09.870 York Jets on Thursday night, sparking the question 00:04:09.870 --> 00:04:12.569 on whether he might assume a larger role when 00:04:12.569 --> 00:04:16.430 Stevenson returns. The Patriots improved to nine 00:04:16.430 --> 00:04:19.750 wins and two losses with the win, the best record 00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:23.949 in the NFL, and won their eighth in a row. Henderson 00:04:23.949 --> 00:04:26.370 became the second rookie in Patriots history 00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:29.449 to have multiple rushing touchdowns in consecutive 00:04:29.449 --> 00:04:32.730 games. He has seen his playing time more than 00:04:32.730 --> 00:04:35.329 double during the past three weeks with Stevenson 00:04:35.329 --> 00:04:38.550 out. The Jets have failed to intercept a pass 00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:41.850 for 10 streak games, tying the longest such streak 00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:47.639 in NFL history. in local sports. Tim Stutzel 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.399 scored twice in the third period, leading the 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.920 Ottawa Senators to a victory over the Bruins, 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.779 5 -3, ending Boston's seven -game win streak. 00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:01.139 Dylan Cozens and Claude Giroux each had a goal 00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:04.319 and an assist for Ottawa, while Shane Pinto scored 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.839 shortly after signing a four -year extension. 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.879 Morgan Gicke had a goal and an assist for the 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.089 Bruins, with David Pasternak and Mark Kostelic 00:05:14.089 --> 00:05:17.930 also finding the net. Pasternak's goal marked 00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:21.769 his 11th of the season and the 402nd of his career, 00:05:22.329 --> 00:05:25.310 tying him with Rick Middleton for fifth in franchise 00:05:25.310 --> 00:05:29.149 history. The Bruins will face Montreal Saturday. 00:05:31.310 --> 00:05:35.290 In top news, Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh 00:05:35.290 --> 00:05:39.470 Johnston is ready to go 12 rounds, maybe 15. 00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:42.810 in the ongoing carriage negotiations with U2 00:05:42.810 --> 00:05:47.250 TV. Johnston stated on CNBC that his company 00:05:47.250 --> 00:05:50.990 is ready to go as long as they want to. This 00:05:50.990 --> 00:05:53.629 statement comes as reports indicated that discussions 00:05:53.629 --> 00:05:56.649 between the two media giants have become more 00:05:56.649 --> 00:06:00.149 productive. Johnston believes that claims about 00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:03.129 legacy media losing marketplace strength are 00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:07.350 an exaggeration. He added that Disney has built 00:06:07.350 --> 00:06:10.939 a hedge into its guidance. anticipating potential 00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:14.839 dollar impacts. Disney Chief Executive Officer 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.740 Bob Ager emphasized the importance of closing 00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:21.300 a timely deal to ensure uninterrupted service 00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:24.720 for consumers. Disney's streaming profits grew, 00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:28.759 with Disney Plus adding 3 .8 million subscribers. 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.540 The company plans to invest $1 billion more in 00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:40.370 content in 2026 than in 2025. In business news, 00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:43.910 Bitcoin has fallen to its lowest level in six 00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:46.889 months, deepening its bear market as long -term 00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:50.209 holders stepped up their selling. The largest 00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:56.689 cryptocurrency was down 3 .4 % to $98 ,308, marking 00:06:56.689 --> 00:06:59.709 its lowest point since May 8th, according to 00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:03.310 Dow Jones Market data. It is now trading around 00:07:03.310 --> 00:07:10.069 22 % below its record high of $126 ,273 reached 00:07:10.069 --> 00:07:14.110 on October 6. Long -term holders, defined as 00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:18.389 those who held Bitcoin for over 155 days, sold 00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:22.629 roughly 815 ,000 Bitcoins in the past 30 days. 00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:26.290 Analysts noted that the Bitcoin market remains 00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:29.810 in an extremely bearish phase. potentially signaling 00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:33.430 a shift in market sentiment.

And now, 00:08:45.549 --> 00:08:50.179 back to the show. Let's talk science. Google's 00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:53.139 DeepMind has cracked a century -old physics mystery 00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:57.379 using artificial intelligence. Scientists have 00:08:57.379 --> 00:08:59.759 long struggled to predict how fluids behave, 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.960 especially their chaotic nature. DeepMind's breakthrough 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.139 offers valuable insights into fluid dynamics. 00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:11.179 DeepMind researchers identified new unstable 00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:14.779 singularities across three fluid dynamics equations. 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.340 This advancement may enhance our understanding 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:20.879 of turbulence, which affects everything from 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.019 aircraft drag to blood flow. While not revolutionary, 00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:28.039 it is a meaningful step forward in mathematical 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:35.159 physics. And in entertainment news, legendary 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.419 documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been trying 00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:42.590 to tell the story of America for 10 years. He 00:09:42.590 --> 00:09:45.490 emphasizes the importance of a complicated origin 00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:50.389 story rather than a superficial one. Burns is 00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:53.389 promoting his latest documentary, The American 00:09:53.389 --> 00:09:56.350 Revolution, premiering on public broadcasting 00:09:56.350 --> 00:09:59.990 service ahead of America's 250th anniversary 00:09:59.990 --> 00:10:05.330 in 2026. The six -part series is narrated by 00:10:05.330 --> 00:10:08.509 Peter Coyote and features voices of celebrities 00:10:08.509 --> 00:10:12.720 like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Schmidt notes 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.600 that the revolution was not just about independence, 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.480 but was incredibly violent. Burns believes knowing 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.000 our origin story can unite us. Well, all righty, 00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:28.000 folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.899 today, our quote comes from the American author 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:35.580 and motivational speaker, Les Brown. And he said, 00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:39.519 shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.679 land them on the stars. And that's a wrap for 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.639 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:50.639 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.759 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.759 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
