WEBVTT 00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.540 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.099 Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.779 and it's Monday, November 17th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:20.620 to know. 52 years ago, today, in 1973, President 00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.480 Richard Nixon delivered a forceful public statement 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.620 declaring, I'm not a crook, while defending his 00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:29.899 conduct amid intense political scrutiny and legal 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:33.259 questioning. That moment crystallized a leaders' 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.479 resolve to assert accountability and shaped public 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.500 discourse on trust in government, prompting new 00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.600 expectations for transparency and ethical reform. 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.359 So now you know. And now, it's time for the weather 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:54.420 report. This morning, it's mostly sunny and it 00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:57.920 feels like 20 degrees, with 15 mile per hour 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.280 wind. The sunset will take place at 418, and 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.340 it will rise again tomorrow at 638. It looks 00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:09.040 like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.579 near 43 and a breezy west wind at 14 to 17 miles 00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:19.060 per hour, gusting up to 30. Tonight, expect mostly 00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:22.680 clear skies with a low around 32 and a lighter 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.019 west wind at 10 to 14 miles per hour, gusting 00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.569 up to 24. For all you beach runners out there, 00:01:30.010 --> 00:01:32.810 the first Tide Monday will be at midnight with 00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:36.989 the tide at midnight. The nearshore buoy at Cape 00:01:36.989 --> 00:01:40.590 Cod Bay reads 52 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:45.989 Looking ahead in the weather, Tuesday and Wednesday 00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:49.769 will be sunny with highs near 46 and a west breeze 00:01:49.769 --> 00:01:53.480 around 10 miles per hour. Thursday is mostly 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.959 cloudy with a slight chance of rain late Thursday 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.620 night at a low near 39. Then rain becomes likely 00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:03.159 Friday with highs rising to near 54 and south 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.120 winds around 5 miles per hour.

Frank 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.139 DePasquale, a lifelong resident of the North 00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:52.139 End, is on a mission to transform the neighborhood's 00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:54.960 entrance into a vibrant Italian cultural hub. 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.719 He plans to convert an abandoned space on Cross 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.479 Street into a multi -purpose building with a 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.219 culinary school, travel agency, coffee shop and 00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:09.120 retail stores. DePasquale believes this project 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.099 will create the greatest entrance. For a neighborhood, 00:03:12.219 --> 00:03:15.280 he deeply loves and aims to enhance its business 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.639 climate. He is also working on establishing a 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.740 historical museum to celebrate the North End's 00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:24.960 rich 400 -year history, which has been long desired 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.360 by the community. Construction began this summer 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.159 with hopes to complete the project by next summer, 00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:34.740 coinciding with the arrival of the 2026 World 00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:44.629 Cup. Now on to sports. The Eagles sealed a victory 00:03:44.629 --> 00:03:49.710 with help of a late pass interference call. Rakiasen 00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:52.849 was in shock after being called for pass interference 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:55.409 late in the fourth quarter, giving the Eagles 00:03:55.409 --> 00:03:59.250 a first down to seal the game. Jalen Hurts scored 00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:01.930 the only touchdown in an otherwise weak effort 00:04:01.930 --> 00:04:04.810 from the Philadelphia Eagles offense, leading 00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:09.110 them to a 16 -9 win over the Detroit Lions. The 00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:12.009 Eagles are the only team in the NFC East with 00:04:12.009 --> 00:04:14.729 more than three wins, putting them in contention 00:04:14.729 --> 00:04:18.089 for the top seed in the conference. The Lions 00:04:18.089 --> 00:04:21.009 failed to convert on five fourth -down attempts. 00:04:22.529 --> 00:04:26.310 In local sports, the Celtics survived a late 00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:31.810 scare, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 121 -118. 00:04:32.569 --> 00:04:35.819 They nearly squandered a 24 -point lead. but 00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:39.019 held on against James Harden's clutch performance, 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.319 securing their second straight win and improving 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.560 to seven wins and seven losses on the season. 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.860 Jalen Brown led the Celtics with 33 points and 00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:52.860 12 rebounds, while Peyton Pritchard contributed 00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:56.959 30 points. The Seas opened strong, but faced 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.720 a fierce Clippers comeback, cutting their lead 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.439 to just one point in the closing seconds. Despite 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.110 a missed buzzer beater from Harden, the Celtics 00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:11.930 escaped with the victory. In top news, it is 00:05:11.930 --> 00:05:15.790 time to retire the lufa. While using one can 00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:18.629 feel satisfying, it might be doing more harm 00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:22.970 than good. Facial plastic surgeon Lara Duggan 00:05:22.970 --> 00:05:26.709 stated that lufas trap dead skin cells, water, 00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:31.009 and bacteria. This creates a perfect environment 00:05:31.009 --> 00:05:33.910 for microbes increasing the risk of breakouts 00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:38.430 and skin inflammation. Dermatologist Toral Vadia 00:05:38.430 --> 00:05:41.730 warned that over -exfoliation can strip the skin 00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:46.149 of its natural oils. For best results, use your 00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:51.189 hands or a soft washcloth. In business news, 00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:54.670 the Federal Reserve will release its October 00:05:54.670 --> 00:05:57.389 meeting minutes on Wednesday, as chances of a 00:05:57.389 --> 00:05:59.689 December quarter -point rate cut have declined. 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.220 This week, companies in the spotlight include 00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:08.560 Klarna, Medtronic, and TJX. Stocks jumped this 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.439 past Monday on hopes the U .S. government shutdown 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.779 would end, then lost most gains by Thursday when 00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:18.500 the government officially reopened. Equity suffered 00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:21.040 from hawkish comments as several federal open 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.779 market committee members indicated a rate cut 00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:27.839 would be unnecessary. Traders now price in a 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.959 43 % chance for a quarter -point rate cut by 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.939 year -end, down from 66 % a week ago. Retailers 00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:38.519 including Home Depot and Walmart will announce 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.879 earnings this week. In crypto movement, Bitcoin 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:48.800 is down 3 % over the weekend to $95 ,000. Ethereum 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.600 is up 1 % to just under $3 ,200. And XRP is down 00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:01.540 2%. to $2 .25. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:05.139 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:08.199 we are working with a national Pilates studio 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.040 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.379 Check out Club Pilates with several locations 00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.899 in the Boston area.

And now, back to the show. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.279 Let's talk science. Scientists have discovered 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.399 a way to reverse kidney damage. leading experts 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.439 to claim we are in a golden age for treating 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.959 chronic kidney disease. Nicolas Palacios received 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.519 devastating news on his daughter's first birthday 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.560 in July 2020 when he learned he was facing stage 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.519 4 kidney disease. After medications halted his 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.300 decline, he participated in a clinical trial 00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:19.180 for turspotide at GLP -1 receptor agonist. His 00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:21.910 kidney function improved significantly allowing 00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:24.589 him to live without dialysis or a transplant. 00:08:25.810 --> 00:08:28.689 Palacio's transformation reflects a broader trend, 00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:31.829 with new treatments showing promise for chronic 00:08:31.829 --> 00:08:35.769 kidney disease. Researchers now envision a potential 00:08:35.769 --> 00:08:38.870 cure for kidney disease, marking a significant 00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:46.990 shift in treatment options. The film Now You 00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:50.250 See Me, Now You Don't swiped the top spot on 00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:54.210 global box office charts with over $75 million. 00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:58.350 It also took first place in the domestic marketplace, 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:04.049 earning $54 .2 million from 64 territories. Released 00:09:04.049 --> 00:09:06.950 nearly a decade after its predecessor, the film 00:09:06.950 --> 00:09:09.649 performed well internationally, particularly 00:09:09.649 --> 00:09:13.230 in China, South Korea, France, and the United 00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:18.460 Kingdom. Meanwhile, Demon Slayer Kometsu no Yaiba 00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:22.940 Infinity Castle opened in China with $52 .4 million, 00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:29.200 bringing its total to nearly $730 million. Paramount's 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.639 The Running Man collapsed at the box office, 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.580 earning $17 million, domestically and $11 million 00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:40.500 internationally, significantly below its $110 00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:44.899 million budget. Warner Brothers won battle after 00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:48.610 another, crossed the $200 million mark globally, 00:09:49.070 --> 00:09:51.690 but its production and marketing costs put it 00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:56.029 deeply in the hole. Well, alrighty folks, it's 00:09:56.029 --> 00:09:59.990 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:09:59.990 --> 00:10:02.210 quote comes from the American journalist and 00:10:02.210 --> 00:10:15.340 author, Walter Lippman. And he said, And that's 00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.299 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:22.399 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.500 aerial videos with local news and the weather 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:29.139 reports.
