• 3:02
  will decide next year whether to maintain or
• 3:05
  repeal a comprehensive law that expanded gun
• 3:08
  restrictions. Supporters officially launched
• 3:11
  the Vote Yes for a Safe Massachusetts ballot
• 3:14
  question committee, emphasizing that repealing
• 3:17
  the law would pose a threat to public safety.
• 3:21
  Ruth Zacharin, executive director of the Massachusetts
• 3:25
  Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, will chair
• 3:28
  the committee. The law enhances the red flag
• 3:31
  law, restricts firearms in certain public areas,
• 3:35
  and introduces measures against untraceable ghost
• 3:38
  guns. Critics, including firearm owners and Second
• 3:43
  Amendment advocates, have already initiated efforts
• 3:46
  to place a repeal question on the 2026 ballot.
• 3:54
  Now on to sports. Michael Jordan is making a
• 3:59
  triumphant return to NBC as a special contributor
• 4:02
  for the network's upcoming NBA coverage, set
• 4:05
  to begin next fall. During NBCUniversal's upfront
• 4:09
  presentation in New York City, Jordan expressed
• 4:12
  his excitement about the network rejoining the
• 4:15
  NBA, having last aired the league in 2002. NBC
• 4:20
  is embracing a wave of 90s nostalgia, including
• 4:24
  the return of John Tesh's Round Ball Rock as
• 4:27
  the official anthem. The network is part of an
• 4:31
  11 -year, $76 billion broadcast deal featuring
• 4:34
  exclusive games and significant playoff coverage.
• 4:39
  Fans can look forward to a familiar feel from
• 4:42
  this iconic era. In local sports. Last night
• 4:47
  was a rough night for Boston sports. At Comerica
• 4:51
  Park in Detroit, the Red Sox were outmatched
• 4:54
  by the Tigers, falling 14 -2. Despite Rafi Devers
• 5:00
  and Hamilton putting runs on the board, the Sox
• 5:03
  struggled to contain Detroit's offense. Huck
• 5:07
  took the loss, allowing eight hits, while Torres
• 5:10
  was dominant with a homer and three runs scored.
• 5:14
  The Tigers' bats were too hot to handle, racking
• 5:18
  up 18 hits, leaving the Sox with a record of
• 5:21
  22 -21. Tonight, the Sox battle the Tigers at
• 5:26
  Comerica Park in Detroit for Game 2 of this three
• 5:29
  -game series. Brian Baio, boasting a 2 .01 ERA,
• 5:35
  faces Tyler Holton. First pitch is set for 640
• 5:40
  with clear skies. and a temperature around 68
• 5:43
  degrees. In New York last night, the Celtics
• 5:47
  fell to the Knicks 121 -113 at Madison Square
• 5:51
  Garden. Jalen Grunson shined with 39 points,
• 5:56
  pushing New York to a commanding 3 -1 series
• 5:59
  lead. Despite Jason Tatum's impressive 42 points
• 6:04
  and 16 rebounds, Boston couldn't close the gap.
• 6:07
  and everyone is very concerned with how Tatum
• 6:10
  went down in the fourth quarter. It looked like
• 6:13
  it could be an Achilles injury. The teams head
• 6:17
  back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday, giving
• 6:20
  the Knicks a chance to close out the series against
• 6:22
  the hostile crowd at TD Garden. In top news,
• 6:28
  the United States has suspended livestock imports
• 6:32
  from Mexico due to a threat from the New World's
• 6:34
  screwworm, a dangerous parasite. U .S. Secretary
• 6:39
  of Agriculture Brooke Rollins stated the ban
• 6:42
  will be enforced on a month -by -month basis
• 6:44
  to protect American cattle. The parasite was
• 6:48
  recently detected within 700 miles of the U .S.
• 6:52
  border. Rollins emphasized that this is not about
• 6:56
  politics or punishment of Mexico, but rather
• 6:59
  focused on food and animal safety. Mexico's agricultural
• 7:03
  leaders argue that established protocols ensure
• 7:07
  cattle are free from the parasite, but discussions
• 7:10
  for a resolution are ongoing. In business news,
• 7:15
  McDonald's coffee has gained a loyal following,
• 7:19
  with many fans preferring it over specialty cafe
• 7:22
  options because of its consistent taste and surprising
• 7:25
  quality. According to McDonald's chef Mike Lingo,
• 7:30
  The secret lies in their use of 100 % Arabica
• 7:34
  coffee beans, sourced from sustainable farms,
• 7:37
  combined with precise brewing techniques, including
• 7:40
  Japanese flash brewing for iced coffee. This
• 7:44
  attention to detail results in a flavorful cup
• 7:47
  that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Lingo emphasizes
• 7:51
  the importance of quality and sustainability,
• 7:54
  making McDonald's coffee a beloved choice for
• 7:57
  many consumers. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is
• 8:02
  down 0 .5 % to about $103 ,000. Ethereum is down
• 8:09
  3 % to about $2 ,500. And Goatseys Maximus is
• 8:14
  down 26 % to $0 .18. Moving on to a more local

  Let's talk science. The Doomsday Glacier, known
• 9:10
  as Thwaites, poses a significant threat to coastal
• 9:14
  cities worldwide. Researchers from the British
• 9:18
  Antarctic Survey endure extreme conditions to
• 9:21
  study this vast ice flow, which is losing ice
• 9:24
  faster than it accumulates. Thwaites currently
• 9:28
  contributes to approximately 4 % of sea level
• 9:31
  rise. Its complete meltdown could raise global
• 9:35
  sea levels by half a meter, displacing millions.
• 9:39
  Although some scientists propose geoengineering
• 9:42
  solutions, such as thermosiphons to freeze the
• 9:45
  glacier, challenges remain. As climate change
• 9:48
  accelerates, the future of Thwaites remains uncertain,
• 9:51
  urging immediate action and research. And in
• 9:58
  entertainment news, Nicolas Cage is back as the
• 10:02
  fan -favorite black -and -white hero in the first
• 10:05
  look at Prime Video's live -action series, Spider
• 10:08
  Noir. After voicing the character in Spider -Man,
• 10:12
  Into the Spider -Verse, Cage dons the iconic
• 10:15
  costume, complete with a fedora, white goggles,
• 10:18
  and trench coat, in a black -and -white photo
• 10:21
  released during Prime Video's upfronts presentation.
• 10:25
  Set to debut in 2026, Spider Noir follows an
• 10:30
  aging private investigator in 1930s New York
• 10:33
  who must face his past as the city's sole superhero.
• 10:38
  The show will be available in both black and
• 10:40
  white in color, featuring a talented cast alongside
• 10:43
  Cage. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the
• 10:48
  quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
• 10:52
  from the American writer and philosopher, Eric
• 10:56
  Coffer. And he said, In times of change, learners
• 11:01
  inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves
• 11:05
  beautifully equipped to deal with a world that
• 11:08
  no longer exists. And that's a wrap for this
