  Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate and
• 0:22
  delivered a stirring appeal for freedom, famously
• 0:25
  urging, tear down this wall to confront the city's

  alike could be enjoying more chicken soon as
• 3:05
  a Chick -fil -A is set to open in South Station
• 3:07
  on Thursday, June 18th. The new location will

  be situated inside the Dewey Square Transportation

  hosts more than 19 locations in the wider Boston
• 3:22
  metro area, will operate from Monday through
• 3:25
  Saturday from 6 in the morning to 10 at night.
• 3:28
  As is customary for Chick -fil -A, this restaurant
• 3:31
  will be closed on Sundays. Stay tuned for more
• 3:35
  local news and updates right here in Beantown.
• 3:43
  Now on to sports. South Korea got their World
• 3:47
  Cup campaign off to a winning start by beating
• 3:50
  the Czech Republic 2 -1 on Thursday after finally
• 3:54
  converting some of the many chances they created.
• 3:57
  Until the 80th -minute mark, it seemed that the
• 4:01
  Czechs would punish the Koreans' wastefulness,
• 4:03
  but substituto Hyun -Joo scored the decisive
• 4:06
  goal in a Guadalajara stadium that was far from
• 4:10
  full. Son Heung -min's Koreans had dominated
• 4:13
  the first half but were unable to find the net.
• 4:17
  An entertaining second half began with the Czechs
• 4:20
  scoring against the run of play, as Ladislav
• 4:23
  Kretzy powered a header past Korean goalkeeper
• 4:25
  Kim Sung -joo. Hwang In -beom finally made the
• 4:30
  Korean pressure pay with a clever equalizer before
• 4:33
  assisting Oh's goal. When the final whistle sounded,
• 4:37
  Sun sank to the turf in joy. South Korea faces
• 4:41
  co -host Mexico on June 18th. In local sports,
• 4:46
  the Red Sox are desperate for a win tonight at
• 4:49
  Fenway. Boston opens a three -game series against
• 4:53
  Texas at 7 -10 with Sonny Gray taking the mound,
• 4:58
  and it could not come at a better time. The Sox
• 5:02
  just got swept in Tampa and sit at 27 -39 with
• 5:06
  four straight losses. This is the kind of drought
• 5:10
  that defines seasons. Gray is facing Rangers
• 5:14
  starter Jack Leiter, and the home crowd should
• 5:16
  provide some juice for a team that has badly
• 5:19
  lost its footing. Caleb Durbin had some pop in
• 5:23
  Wednesday's loss, two homers and a pair of RBIs,
• 5:26
  but the pitching keeps letting them down. Win
• 5:30
  tonight and you start a conversation about turning
• 5:32
  it around. Lose again and the questions get louder.
• 5:37
  Off the field, Aroldis Chapman has got something
• 5:40
  to say. The closer told ESPN Deportes he would
• 5:45
  consider a trade back to the Yankees before August
• 5:48
  3rd, but only if Brian Cashman apologizes first.
• 5:53
  Chapman has got a bone to pick from 2022 when
• 5:56
  Cashman left him off the postseason roster. Chapman
• 6:00
  said someone needs to make amends, and he is
• 6:03
  willing to listen if they do. He has been outstanding
• 6:06
  this year with a 0 .46 era and 13 saves. Meanwhile,
• 6:12
  the Celtics are shaking things up this offseason
• 6:14
  after their first -round exit. Brad Stevens expects
• 6:18
  Nikola Vucevic to leave in free agency, and Jalen
• 6:23
  Brown, his name will likely come up in trade
• 6:25
  talks before long. In top news, socioeconomic
• 6:31
  factors are becoming biologically embedded. in
• 6:35
  children's brains. According to a study in the
• 6:38
  journal Science, the most powerful influences
• 6:40
  on brain development involve socioeconomic opportunities.
• 6:45
  The analysis of more than 2 ,309 in 10 -year
• 6:49
  -olds revealed that environmental factors linked
• 6:52
  to household income, education, and neighborhood
• 6:54
  quality correspond to observable brain differences
• 6:58
  in MRI scans. Scott Merrick, the study's first
• 7:02
  author, stated, Something is going on in these
• 7:05
  neighborhoods. The research emphasizes the significant
• 7:08
  impact of our environment on brain development.
• 7:11
  It suggests a re -evaluation of earlier studies
• 7:15
  that overlooked socioeconomic factors. In business
• 7:20
  news, SpaceX is officially set for the largest
• 7:24
  initial public offering on record. Elon Musk's
• 7:28
  reusable rocket company is raising $75 billion.
• 7:33
  selling 555 million shares for $130 apiece, according
• 7:39
  to a filing with the Securities and Exchange
• 7:41
  Commission. This deal values SpaceX at $1 trillion,
• 7:46
  making it the seventh most valuable United States
• 7:49
  company ahead of Tesla. SpaceX's Nasdaq debut
• 7:54
  is today, and the public will have their first
• 7:56
  opportunity to invest in the 24 -year -old company.
• 8:01
  However, betting on SpaceX at this price is largely
• 8:04
  a wager on Musk, as the company is burning cash
• 8:07
  and is significantly smaller by revenue than
• 8:10
  its trillion -dollar peers. In crypto movement,
• 8:14
  Bitcoin is unchanged for the week at about $63
• 8:18
  ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to just under $1 ,700.
• 8:25
  And XRP is down 1%. to $1 .14. Moving on to a
• 8:33
  more local vibe. In our community spotlight on
• 8:37
  health and wellness, we are working with a national
• 8:40
  Pilates studio to bring you some free classes,
• 8:43
  so listen up. Check out Club Pilates, with several
• 8:48
  locations in the Boston area. Pilates presents
• 8:51

  well -being. Scientific research affirms its

• 9:09
  Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure
• 9:13
  to tell them sunny morning sent you by. And now,
• 9:18
  back to the show. Let's talk science. Ancient
• 9:22
  squirrel droppings from Arctic permafrost contain
• 9:25
  fascinating DNA from mammoths, bison, horses,
• 9:29
  and big cats. Researchers analyzed these prehistoric
• 9:33
  droppings, revealing a remarkable genetic snapshot
• 9:36
  of ancient life in Canada's rugged Yukon. Though
• 9:41
  the genetic material of large creatures was found,
• 9:43
  the ground squirrels were opportunistic omnivores,
• 9:47
  consuming a variety of plant material, fungi,
• 9:50
  and insects. These ancient droppings, dating
• 9:53
  back around 700 ,000 years, preserve exceptional
• 9:57
  environmental DNA, offering insights into megafaunal
• 10:01
  evolution and extinction. The study highlights
• 10:05
  the unexpected mysteries found in overlooked
• 10:07
  remains, paving the way for future discoveries.
• 10:13
  And in entertainment news. Exclusive sources
• 10:17
  indicate that the first day worldwide of Steven
• 10:20
  Spielberg's alien feature Disclosure Day is around
• 10:24
  $12 million. This includes $6 million from overseas
• 10:29
  markets and $6 million from domestic previews
• 10:33
  that began at 2 p .m. today. The movie is expected
• 10:37
  to reach around $65 million worldwide, with approximately
• 10:41
  $35 million domestically. The Rotten Tomatoes'
• 10:46
  critical score stands at 82%, higher than Spielberg's
• 10:51
  War of the Worlds and AI, but lower than Close
• 10:55
  Encounters of the Third Kind. In the United Kingdom
• 10:58
  and Ireland, $1 million represents a strong 36
• 11:02
  % market share, ranking it number one. Well,
• 11:07
  all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of
• 11:10
  the day. And today... Our quote comes from the
• 11:14
  American author and historian, Henry Adams. And
• 11:18
  he said, A teacher affects eternity. He can never
• 11:22
  tell where his influence stops. And that's a
• 11:26
  wrap for this morning. You can check out our
• 11:29

• 11:33
