• 2:40
  Sunny mornings send you.
• 2:43
  In local news.
• 2:45
  Starting in May, the MBTA will implement significant service disruptions across Boston to facilitate
• 2:52
  essential infrastructure improvements.
• 2:55
  Key changes include the suspension of red line service between Park Street and JFK UMass
• 3:01
  as well as Park Street to Ashman Station each night from May 1st through the 9th.
• 3:08
  Additionally, the orange line will see closures from Wellington to North Station at various
• 3:13
  intervals throughout the month.
• 3:16
  Commuters should also note weekend suspensions on the Kingston, Middleborough and Green Bush
• 3:21
  commuter rail lines between South Station and Braintree.
• 3:26
  These interruptions are part of ongoing efforts to enhance system reliability and service
• 3:31
  quality.
• 3:37
  Now on to sports.
• 3:39
  The Denver Broncos acquisition of Zach Wilson from the New York Jets offers a strategic
• 3:45
  safeguard in their quarterback roster, especially after releasing Russell Wilson.
• 3:51
  This low cost trade provides the Broncos with additional flexibility, especially if the
• 3:56
  draft doesn't favor them with top quarterback prospects.
• 4:00
  Despite his mixed performance with the Jets, Zach Wilson's arrival allows the Broncos
• 4:05
  to consider other positions of need with their 12th pick in the draft.
• 4:10
  This move underscores a cautious approach to rebuilding their QB lineup, hinting they
• 4:15
  might not target a quarterback in the first round unless the perfect fit emerges.
• 4:21
  In local sports.
• 4:23
  The Bruins at home in game two lost to the Maple Leafs 3-2.
• 4:29
  That series is now tied one to one.
• 4:32
  Game three is on Wednesday in Toronto.
• 4:36
  And tonight, the Red Sox are on the road in Cleveland to take on the Guardians.
• 4:42
  In top news, recent research has revealed that Uranus and Neptune, previously thought
• 4:49
  to be primarily composed of water ice, may contain significantly more methane ice than
• 4:55
  expected.
• 4:57
  This finding challenges the conventional understanding of these distant ice giants' makeup.
• 5:04
  Scientists from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology suggest that interactions between
• 5:09
  organic-rich planetesimals and the planet's hydrogen-helium atmospheres under high temperatures
• 5:15
  and pressures during early planetary development could produce a substantial methane ice layer.
• 5:22
  This layer could constitute up to 10% of the planet's masses, altering our view of their
• 5:27
  composition and formation.
• 5:30
  This hypothesis is based on thousands of computer simulations modeling the interiors of Uranus
• 5:36
  and Neptune, pointing to a need for a dedicated space mission to verify these findings.
• 5:44
  In business news.
• 5:47
  During Bitcoin's successful halving event, cryptocurrency-related stocks, including MicroStrategy
• 5:53
  and Coinbase, experienced substantial gains.
• 5:59
  MicroStrategy's stock jumped over 12%, bolstered by its significant Bitcoin holdings and anticipation
• 6:05
  of further acquisitions.
• 6:08
  Coinbase's shares also rose over 5%, driven by the growth of USDcoin, a stablecoin it co-developed,
• 6:16
  which has seen its market cap increase to $34 billion.
• 6:20
  Additionally, stocks of mining companies like Riot Platform and Hud8 corporations soared,
• 6:27
  reflecting the positive market response to the halving, which typically reduces the reward
• 6:32
  for mining new blocks, thereby decreasing the rate at which new Bitcoins are generated.
• 6:38
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $67,000.
• 6:44
  Bitcoin is just over $3,200.
• 6:47
  And Solana is $157.
• 6:53
  Moving on to a more local vibe.
• 6:55

• 7:02

• 7:37
  And now back to the show.
• 7:41
  Let's talk science.
• 7:43
  Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of ancient human habitation within a lava tube
• 7:48
  in Saudi Arabia, showcasing our ancestors' adaptability.
• 7:53
  The Amjersan lava tube, which stretches nearly a mile, served as a refuge from the harsh
• 7:59
  desert conditions, offering a cooler environment for its occupants.
• 8:04
  This site, which dates back at least 7,000 years, contained human and animal bones, stone
• 8:10
  tools, and even a piece of pottery, indicating intermittent use possibly linked to pastoral
• 8:17
  migration routes.
• 8:19
  This discovery at Amjersan not only highlights a unique form of ancient dwelling, but also
• 8:24
  contributes to our understanding of human migration and settlement patterns in the Arabian
• 8:29
  Peninsula.
• 8:30
  And in entertainment news.
• 8:36
  The latest Deadpool and Wolverine trailer showcases a downtrodden Logan grappling with
• 8:41
  rejection and malfunctioning claws, interrupted by Deadpool, recruiting him for a multiversal
• 8:47
  mission hinted at in previous teasers.
• 8:51
  This mission appears linked to potential universe-ending threats, possibly connected to secret wars.
• 8:58
  The trailer introduces Cassandra Nova as a significant adversary with a plot revolving
• 9:04
  around the survival and legacy of these characters within the multiverse.
• 9:09
  The mix of humor, action, and existential stakes sets the stage for a dynamic exploration
• 9:15
  of their challenges.
• 9:18
