  one of the world's largest toy companies, announced
• 3:23
  that it will move its headquarters to Boston
• 3:25
  from its longtime home in Rhode Island, occupying
• 3:28
  seven floors across 265 ,000 square feet at 400
• 3:34
  Summer Street in the Seaport District. Massachusetts

  Governor Maura Healy expressed her excitement,

  stating, we're proud to welcome this iconic company

  to Team Massachusetts. where we are number one
• 3:47
  for education, health care, and innovation. Mayor

  Michelle Wu added her delight, noting that Hasbro's
• 3:54
  creativity aligns with Boston's mission to be
• 3:57
  a great place to raise a family. Hasbro plans
• 4:00
  to continue supporting Rhode Island organizations
• 4:03
  while establishing a new home in Boston. Now
• 4:12
  on to sports. J .J. McCarthy struggled early,
• 4:16
  but his run game helped spur a come -from -behind
• 4:19
  win over the Chicago Bears. The Minnesota Vikings
• 4:23
  began their new era at quarterback with a thrilling
• 4:26
  27 -24 victory over their NFC North rival. While
• 4:32
  McCarthy will receive attention for his debut,
• 4:34
  it was the Vikings' defense that kept them in
• 4:37
  the game. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed
• 4:41
  his first 10 passes, but the offense stalled,
• 4:44
  not scoring again until late in the fourth quarter.
• 4:48
  McCarthy accounted for three touchdowns, showcasing
• 4:51
  his ability to win. Next, the Vikings face the
• 4:55
  Atlanta Falcons. The Bears will play the Detroit
• 4:59
  Lions in local sports. Last night at Sutter Health
• 5:04
  Park in Sacramento, The Red Sox beat the Athletics
• 5:08

• 5:20
  0 errors, leaving 4 runners on base. The Athletics

• 5:40
  2 of this three -game series. Dustin May, 7 -11

  Jeffrey Springs, who is 10 -10 with a 4 .1. First

  clear skies. In top news, sad news for nostalgic
• 6:03
  travelers, as the days of admiring new stamps
• 6:06
  in your passport are almost at an end. Many countries
• 6:11
  are moving away from passport stamps in favor
• 6:13
  of digital alternatives that are more secure
• 6:16
  and efficient. This transition is already occurring
• 6:20
  in some places, with more airports expected to
• 6:23
  follow. Experts suggest that while this change
• 6:26
  may feel emotional, it aims to streamline travel
• 6:29
  and enhance border security. Countries like Australia
• 6:33
  and Singapore have already adopted digital systems.
• 6:38
  By October, the European Union will begin implementing
• 6:41
  its new biometric entry and exit system. In business
• 6:47
  news, U .S. clothing retailers are testing a
• 6:51
  full -price strategy as affluent shoppers continue
• 6:54
  spending with little pushback so far. Stock market
• 6:59
  gains are benefiting wealthy consumers prompting
• 7:02
  retailers like Levi Strauss to introduce more
• 7:05
  full -price products. Levi's chief financial
• 7:08
  officer, Harmet Singh, noted there has been no
• 7:11
  demand slowdown despite price increases. The
• 7:15
  Levi's consumer largely earns $100 ,000 and over,
• 7:20
  he said. Ralph Lauren under Armour and Abercrombie
• 7:24
  and Fitch are also embracing this strategy. According
• 7:28
  to Moody's Analytics, The wealthiest 10 % of
• 7:31
  Americans now account for half of all consumer
• 7:34
  spending. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1
• 7:38
  % to $112 ,000. Ethereum is unchanged at just
• 7:45
  over $4 ,300. And XRP is up 2 % to $2 .95. Moving
• 7:54
  on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight
• 7:58
  on health and wellness, we are working with a
• 8:01
  national Pilates studio to bring you some free
• 8:04
  classes, so listen up. Check out Club Pilates
• 8:08
  with several locations in the Boston area. Pilates
• 8:12
  presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating
• 8:15
  strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental
• 8:19
  well -being. Scientific research affirms its
• 8:22
  benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates.
• 8:26
  for a free class. With locations in Canton, Wellesley,
• 8:31
  Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure
• 8:35
  to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now,
• 8:39
  back to the show. Let's talk science. PFAS can
• 8:44
  repel water, oil, sweat, dirt, and heat, making
• 8:48
  them ideal for outdoor gear. But what about the
• 8:52
  impacts of these forever chemicals on the environment
• 8:55
  and human health. The first PFAS were developed
• 8:59
  in the 1930s and have since been used in countless
• 9:02
  consumer goods. Their harmful effects on the
• 9:06
  environment and human health are increasingly
• 9:08
  being recognized. Last year, 59 leading scientists
• 9:13
  urged the UK government to regulate PFAS. Studies
• 9:17
  link PFAS contamination to increased cancer risks
• 9:21
  and reproductive issues. Despite some brands
• 9:24
  transitioning to PFAS -free products, a report
• 9:27
  found that 82 % still use PFAS. Legislation is
• 9:33
  tightening globally, with bans now in effect
• 9:35
  or planned in several regions. Consumers can
• 9:38
  support brands that have made the switch to PFAS
• 9:41
  -free alternatives. The most ecologically sustainable
• 9:45
  products are the ones we already own. And in
• 9:51
  entertainment news... Nuremberg is generating
• 9:54
  Oscar buzz with Russell Crowe delivering his
• 9:58
  best work since Cinderella Man, as Leo Woodall
• 10:01
  emerges as a breakout contender. James Vanderbilt's
• 10:05
  courtroom drama Nuremberg, rooted in history,
• 10:08
  is a timely and awards -worthy film. It interrogates
• 10:12
  the foundations of justice in today's political
• 10:15
  landscape. Crowe's portrayal of Herman Goring
• 10:18
  is commanding... capturing his paradoxical charisma
• 10:21
  and monstrosity. Woodall, best known for The
• 10:25
  White Lotus, delivers an emotional performance
• 10:27
  as a translator. The film's crisp production
• 10:30
  design and unique screenplay position it as a
• 10:33
  possible best picture candidate, reflecting the
• 10:36
  fierce urgency of now. Well, all righty folks,
• 10:41
  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 10:45
  our quote comes from the American inventor and
• 10:47
  visionary, Charles F. Kettering. And he said,
• 10:52
  the world hates change, yet it is the only thing
• 10:55
  that has brought progress. And that's a wrap
• 10:59
  for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
• 11:03

• 11:06
