  to know. 112 years ago, today, in 1914, European
• 0:20
  nations rapidly mobilized and declared war after
• 0:24
  a diplomatic crisis triggered large -scale military
• 0:27
  actions. as armies and navies moved into a conflict
• 0:31
  that involved continent -wide alliances. This
• 0:35
  moment marked a pivotal milestone that transformed
• 0:37
  diplomacy, accelerated industrial and medical
• 0:41
  innovations, and reshaped global institutions
• 0:44
  for the modern era. So now you know. And now,

  with 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take

• 3:01
  Sunny mornings send you. In Ogunquit, Maine,
• 3:07
  a small business owned by Dave and Sarah Lublink
• 3:10
  is gaining national attention over a dispute
• 3:12
  with local officials regarding six -foot -tall
• 3:15
  tin roosters they installed at their home. Town
• 3:19
  officials issued fines for what they deemed a
• 3:21
  violation of signage codes, but the Lublinks
• 3:24
  argue these colorful ornaments provide comfort
• 3:26
  for their autistic daughter. As support grows,
• 3:30
  Kathy Kotakis, a local resident, emphasize the
• 3:33
  movement is about community and love. The Limp
• 3:37
  Flanks have launched a Facebook page to track
• 3:39
  the Roosters, now numbering over 100 across New
• 3:43
  England, while advocating for autism awareness
• 3:46
  and inclusivity. Now on to sports. LeBron James'
• 3:56
  newest goal could help him make NBA history with
• 3:59
  the Philadelphia 76ers. Across the 23 years he
• 4:04
  has played in the National Basketball Association,
• 4:07
  LeBron James has set and shattered plenty of
• 4:10
  historical records. Now entering his 24th season,
• 4:14
  James is taking on a new challenge with the Philadelphia
• 4:17
  76ers, aiming to win a championship with a team
• 4:21
  that has not won since 1983. If successful, he
• 4:26
  will become the first player in NBA history to
• 4:28
  win a championship with four different teams.
• 4:32
  ESPN's Shams Chiranian noted, it's no doubt LeBron
• 4:36
  is playing for a different legacy. In local sports,
• 4:40
  the Red Sox are right in the thick of it. They
• 4:44
  took game one in Oakland, 4 -2 last night, with
• 4:47
  Peyton Tall turning in five and a third strong
• 4:50
  innings, and Sadon Rafaela going four for four
• 4:54
  with four RB ice and a home run. Aroldis Chapman
• 4:59
  notched his 25th save. That win keeps Boston
• 5:03
  at 54 and 50, and they're riding eight wins in
• 5:06
  their last ten games, the kind of stretch that
• 5:09
  matters down the stretch in a tight All -East
• 5:12
  race. Tonight they go for back -to -back wins
• 5:16
  in Oakland. Jake Fennett takes the mound against
• 5:19
  the Athletics, gauge jump at 940. With momentum
• 5:24
  like this, the Sox have a real chance to grab
• 5:27
  a two -game series lead heading home. One cautionary
• 5:31
  note, Curtis Meade, the infielder Boston brought
• 5:35
  in from Washington to bolster the middle infield,
• 5:38
  took it hit by pitch on his left wrist in Monday's
• 5:42
  win. X -rays came back negative, no fracture,
• 5:46
  just a contusion. That's good news, but it's
• 5:49
  a rough way to start for a guy the Sox were counting
• 5:52
  on to add some punch to the lineup. In top news,
• 5:58
  Authors have mixed feelings about the $1 .5 billion
• 6:02
  Anthropic copyright infringement ruling. Charles
• 6:06
  Graeber expressed pride in being a plaintiff
• 6:09
  in this significant case, but remains hesitant
• 6:12
  to label the outcome a complete victory. He is
• 6:16
  among more than 300 ,000 writers who may soon
• 6:19
  receive a modest compensation, as a federal judge
• 6:22
  approved the settlement after ruling that Anthropic
• 6:25
  used copyrighted texts without consent. While
• 6:28
  the settlement amount seems large, it must be
• 6:31
  divided among many authors and publishers. Some
• 6:35
  argue that the ruling favors AI companies as
• 6:38
  it did not deem the training of AI on copyrighted
• 6:41
  works illegal if payments are made. In business
• 6:45
  news, the 52 -year -old international restaurant
• 6:49
  chain Beefeater will close all locations. While
• 6:53
  market data shows that the global dining -out
• 6:55
  market is projected to grow from $1 trillion
• 6:58
  to more than $3 trillion by 2030, many individual
• 7:04
  chains are struggling. In the United Kingdom,
• 7:07
  Beefeeder will shut 106 restaurant locations,
• 7:11
  with plans confirmed by Whitbread to close by
• 7:14
  September. The company aims to reduce annual
• 7:17
  costs by £250 million, approximately $333 million.
• 7:25
  Approximately 3 ,800 employees are affected,
• 7:28
  with significant job losses anticipated. In crypto
• 7:33
  movement, Bitcoin is down 2 % to about $63 ,000.
• 7:40
  Ethereum is unchanged at just under $1 ,900.
• 7:45
  And XRP is down 4 % to $1 .06. Moving on to a
• 7:52

  back to the show. Let's talk science. Rocket
• 8:41
  Lab is expanding its launch operations to the
• 8:44
  snowy north. The California -based company just
• 8:47
  inked a $266 million deal with the United States
• 8:52
  Space Force to fly up to 18 missile defense missions,
• 8:56
  most of them from Alaska. The size and scale
• 8:59
  of this contract reflects the Space Force's confidence
• 9:02
  in our ability to meet their urgent national
• 9:05
  security demands, said Rocket Lab founder and
• 9:08
  Chief Executive Officer Peter Beck. These missions
• 9:12
  will primarily take place from the Pacific Spaceport
• 9:15
  Complex on Kodiak Island, known for its thriving
• 9:18
  population of brown bears. Rocket Lab's primary
• 9:22
  launch site is on Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.
• 9:30
  I Will Find You is on the brink of breaking into
• 9:33
  Netflix's all -time top 10 list of most -watched
• 9:37
  English -language series, needing only 3 million
• 9:41
  views. This eight -episode mystery, based on
• 9:44
  a bestseller by Harlan Coban, has captivated
• 9:47
  audiences despite mixed reviews, currently holding

  a 62 % score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show features

  Sam Worthington and Britt Lower, both prominent
• 9:58
  actors in their fields. In its fifth week, it
• 10:01
  garnered 8 .8 million views, following 11 million
• 10:06
  views in week four and 16 million views in week
• 10:10
  three. With a total of around 95 million views,
• 10:14
  it aims to surpass his and hers. Well, all righty,
• 10:19
  folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
• 10:23
  today, our quote comes from the British philosopher
• 10:26
  and mathematician Bertrand Russell. And he said,
• 10:31
  war does not determine who is right, only who
• 10:34
  is left. And that's a wrap for this morning.
