Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, November 20th. You'll be interested
to know. 80 years ago, today, in 1945. A tribunal
in Nuremberg convened to publicly try major leaders
of the defeated regime for crimes against peace,
humanity, and the laws of war. The trials established
a formal international standard for accountability,
asserting that even heads of state could face
justice and setting a precedent for future human
rights protection. So now you know. And now it's
time for the weather report. This morning it's
mostly cloudy and it feels like 26 degrees with
four mile per hour wind. The sunset will take
place at 416, and it will rise again tomorrow
at 642. It looks like we're in for a partly sunny
day with a high near 46 and a light north wind
around 5. Tonight, expect some patchy fog after
2 a .m. with partly cloudy skies and a low around
29, along with a calm west wind. For all you
beach runners out there, The first high tide
Thursday will be at 11, with a low tide just

adopt a dog, MSPCA and Gel is offering an opportunity
to do so at a price you can afford. The Massachusetts
Animal Welfare Organization announced a Pay What
You Can adoption event on Friday and Saturday
of this week. Due to overcrowding in shelters
from a string of recent law enforcement seizures,
all dogs at the four MSPCA shelters are eligible.
The MSPCA stated, opening up kennel space means
we can keep saying yes to animals who need us
most. They added, if you have been thinking about
adopting, this is a great moment. Now onto sports.
The NBA season is in full swing and teams are
starting to reveal their true potential. In the
Western Conference, the defending champion funder
and the improved nuggets are clear contenders.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers and
Knicks stand out as potential title threats.
Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit
Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and Milwaukee Bucks
are one move away from being serious contenders.
Each team has specific trade targets to enhance
their chances of winning the NBA title. In local
sports, Ian Moore scored the tie -breaking goal
with 3 minutes and 35 seconds remaining, while
Lucas Dostal made 36 saves in the Ducks. 4 -3
win over the Bruins on Wednesday night. Jansen
Harkins, Ratko Gudas, and Ryan Strom also scored
for the Ducks, who have won 9 of 12 games. Morgan
Gicke tied the game with a power play goal, just
seven seconds after Harkin's penalty. Michael
Isomont added another goal for the Bruins, who
are now on a four -game road swing, facing their
third loss in four games. The Bruins will face
the King's Friday night. In top news, the Social
Security Administration has scrapped plans to
limit disability benefits after significant backlash
from older Americans. This decision followed
an article in the Washington Post that reported
potential loss of benefits for many. Commissioner
Frank Visignano assured advocates that the controversial
proposal would not proceed. Advocates celebrated
the decision, emphasizing the importance of Social
Security Disability Insurance for those unable
to work. Rebecca Vallis, CEO of the National
Academy of Social Insurance, praised the administration's
choice to avoid cuts. Concerns remain that changes
could still affect eligibility for thousands
of older Americans seeking benefits. In business

back to the show. Let's talk science. A tiny
ape -like humanoid may still be living in plain
sight, scientist says. Floris, Indonesia is the
home of the scientific study of small humans.
Retired professor Gregory Forth continues to
proliferate the hope of finding a living Homo
floresiensis. His book spells out his multi -decade
search for evidence of a continually living human
-like species. The scientific community believes
a small species of human known as Homo floresiensis
once lived on Floris, Indonesia. around 50 ,000
years ago. Forth thinks these ape -like humanoids
could still exist, evolution be damned. He has
studied Homo floresiensis for roughly 40 years.
Forth's hopes of a living Homo floresiensis were
emboldened by the finding of fossils roughly
20 years ago. Netflix has informed Warner Bros.
Discovery Management that it would continue releasing
the studio's films and theaters if its acquisition
of the company is successful, Bloomberg News
reported on Wednesday. The existing theatrical
release contracts of Warner Bros. would be honored,
according to the report, which cited sources
familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately
verify the report. This news could reshape the
future of theatrical releases if the acquisition
proceeds, highlighting Netflix's commitment to
maintaining traditional cinema experiences. Stay
tuned for further updates on this developing
story. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the
quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
from the American lawyer and Supreme Court justice,
Robert H. Jackson. And he said, The ultimate
purpose of the Nuremberg Trials was to make the
law of the future not merely to punish the past.
