  Elizabeth II was crowned in a grand ceremony
• 0:22
  at Westminster Abbey with pageantry, processions,
• 0:25
  and a global audience witnessing a solemn transfer
• 0:28
  of duty. The coronation affirmed a living constitutional
• 0:32
  tradition and served as a unifying moment that
• 0:36
  modernized public ceremony and connected diverse
• 0:39
  peoples across the Commonwealth. So now you know.

• 2:01
  enthusiasts! This podcast is brought to you by
• 2:04
  Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled
• 2:08
  on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas
• 2:12
  Boulevard, this café is a haven for culinary
• 2:15
  delights. Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict.
• 2:20
  or their gluten -free crepes. You can grab a
• 2:23
  panini for lunch or just breeze on through to
• 2:26
  get your morning coffee. They are open every
• 2:29
  day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget
• 2:33
  to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
• 2:38
  news, Massachusetts researchers have uncovered
• 2:42
  that the scope of long COVID is bigger than previously
• 2:46
  thought, estimating that at least 10 million
• 2:49
  Americans may be affected but remain undiagnosed.
• 2:53
  This finding emerged from new research by Mass
• 2:57
  General Brigham, utilizing artificial intelligence
• 3:00
  to analyze nearly 460 ,000 medical records. Researchers
• 3:06
  found that 16 % of individuals who contract COVID
• 3:10
  -19 develop long -term symptoms, which often
• 3:13
  go unrecognized as long COVID. While the pandemic's
• 3:17
  initial waves have subsided, the chronic effects
• 3:20
  persist, indicating a growing health crisis that
• 3:23
  warrants attention from health care systems.
• 3:30
  Now on to sports. Miles Garrett finally got his
• 3:35
  wish, 16 months after originally demanding to
• 3:38
  be traded. The reigning National Football League
• 3:41
  Defensive Player of the Year will join the Los
• 3:44
  Angeles Rams. with a legitimate chance to compete
• 3:47
  for a Super Bowl. The Cleveland Browns realized
• 3:50
  their timeline did not mesh with their best player
• 3:53
  and executed a trade. The Rams traded two -time
• 3:57
  Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse, along with
• 4:00
  their 2027 first round, 2028 second round, and
• 4:04
  2029 third round draft picks. This move may have
• 4:08
  come a year later than expected, but the outcome
• 4:11
  is exactly what Garrett preferred. In local sports,
• 4:15
  tonight at 6 .45, the Red Sox open a three -game
• 4:20
  series against Baltimore at Fenway, looking to
• 4:23
  build on yesterday's 9 -4 sweep of Cleveland.
• 4:28
  Connelly Early takes the mound against the Orioles'
• 4:31
  Shane Bass. Boston's bats exploded over the weekend.
• 4:36
  Jaron Duran went deep. William Abreu and Yoshi
• 4:40
  each drove in two. And that offensive spark comes
• 4:43
  at the right time. At 25 -33, the Sox sit in
• 4:48
  last place in the AL East, but they've won three
• 4:51
  of their last five. They need to keep it rolling.
• 4:55
  Meanwhile, the front office is under the microscope.
• 4:59
  Reports surfaced about communication issues between
• 5:02
  Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow and the
• 5:05
  roster. Breslow's leaning heavy on analytics
• 5:09
  while lacking playing experience, and that disconnect
• 5:12
  may be dragging on the field. Even interim manager
• 5:16
  Chad Tracy can't seem to turn it around. Fans
• 5:20
  are restless. The Selva team chants continue
• 5:23
  nightly at Fenway. Breslow's job appears safe
• 5:27
  for now, but another losing stretch could accelerate
• 5:30
  calls for change. On the Bruins' front... Defenseman
• 5:34
  Charlie McAvoy drew a six -game suspension for
• 5:38
  slashing in the playoffs to be served next season.
• 5:41
  Lucas Reichel signed a one -year extension worth
• 5:44
  $950 ,000. Over in the NBA offseason, the Celtics
• 5:51
  aren't forced to blow it up after their first
• 5:53
  round exit to Philadelphia. The question dominating
• 5:57
  the narrative, what's next for Jalen Brown? Brad
• 6:01
  Stevens has a $22 .5 million trade exception
• 6:05
  to deploy before July 7th. The team expects to
• 6:09
  keep Nemeus Queda and Jordan Walsh on their options.
• 6:14
  In top news, according to a study published on
• 6:19
  Sunday, a new experimental medication nearly
• 6:22
  doubled overall survival rates for patients with
• 6:25
  advanced pancreatic cancer. The drug, named Deraxanraciv,
• 6:30
  blocks a mutated protein that fuels tumor growth
• 6:33
  in more than 90 % of cases. It reduced the risk
• 6:38
  of death by 60 % for patients with metastatic
• 6:41
  pancreatic cancer who had previously received
• 6:44
  treatment. Those taking Deraxanracib lived for
• 6:47
  a median of 13 .2 months compared to 6 .7 months
• 6:51
  for chemotherapy recipients. Patients who took
• 6:55
  the drug also experienced fewer severe side effects.
• 6:59
  improving their quality of life. In business

  their pitch. Salary negotiations are challenging
• 7:25
  for many people. especially daunting for entry
• 7:28

• 7:35
  starting salaries, with studies showing that
• 7:37
  students expect to earn $80 ,000 to $100 ,000,
• 7:42
  while the actual starting salary is around $56
• 7:46

  company Alphabet said Monday that it plans to
• 8:59
  raise $80 billion to help pay for its massive
• 9:03
  artificial intelligence infrastructure build
• 9:05
  -out. Alphabet will sell off that amount in stock
• 9:09
  and then use the funds for general corporate
• 9:11
  purposes, which includes capital expenditures
• 9:14
  to scale AI infrastructure and global compute.
• 9:18
  Part of the plan involves selling $10 billion
• 9:21
  in stock to Berkshire Hathaway. the massive global
• 9:25
  holding company formerly led by Warren Buffett.
• 9:28
  Alphabet stated that it is experiencing strong
• 9:32
  demand for its AI solutions and services from
• 9:35
  enterprises and consumers at levels that exceed
• 9:38
  its available supply. The company aims to fund
• 9:41
  its investments in a balanced way while retaining
• 9:44
  a healthy balance sheet. And in entertainment
• 9:49
  news. Matt Duffer, creator, showrunner, and executive
• 9:54
  producer of Stranger Things, accepted a career
• 9:58
  honor at the Gotham TV Awards, stating that young
• 10:01
  film and television audiences are telling us
• 10:04
  very loudly that they're hungry for original
• 10:06
  stories. He recalled how Netflix gave the Duffer
• 10:10
  brothers a fairly blank check 10 years ago, saying
• 10:14
  that level of trust gave us the confidence and
• 10:17
  the courage to step up. He urged, let's choose
• 10:20
  risk over fear, encouraging support for new voices
• 10:24
  and bold personal stories. The fifth season of
• 10:27
  Stranger Things set a record for New Year's Day
• 10:30
  viewing, racking up 31 .5 million views in four
• 10:34
  days. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the
• 10:39
  quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
• 10:43
  from the British author and playwright, George
• 10:45
  Bernard Shaw. And he said, Progress is impossible
• 10:50
  without change, and those who cannot change their
• 10:53
  minds cannot change anything. And that's a wrap
