• 2:51
  to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
• 2:56
  news, Boston's MBTA is preparing for a nine -day
• 3:01
  closure of the Red Line's Braintree branch starting
• 3:04
  on November 15th through November 23rd for essential
• 3:07
  track maintenance and infrastructure upgrades.
• 3:11
  During this time, riders will be directed to
• 3:13
  shuttle buses and commuter rail trains for free
• 3:16
  transportation between the affected stops. The
• 3:20
  agency stated this work will improve the reliability
• 3:23
  of service allowing trains to run at 50 miles
• 3:26
  per hour in the area. Riders should plan for
• 3:30
  extra travel time as a trip from Park Street
• 3:32
  Station in downtown Boston to Braintree may take
• 3:35
  an additional 35 minutes. More details on alternate
• 3:40
  travel options can be found on the MBTA's website.
• 3:48
  Now on to sports. Is baseball next? for Kyler
• 3:53
  Murray? It is hard to envision another national
• 3:57
  football lead team giving up much for him, let
• 4:00
  alone assuring him a starting job. The Cardinals'
• 4:04
  decision to name Jacoby Brissette their starting
• 4:06
  quarterback did not matter in Week 10 against
• 4:09
  a red -hot Seahawks team in Seattle. It is clear
• 4:13
  the Arizona staff would rather bet its future
• 4:16
  on Brissette than on Murray. the 2019 No. 1 draft
• 4:20
  choice, earning seven times as much an annual
• 4:23
  salary. Murray turns 29 before next season, and
• 4:28
  the Major League Baseball's athletics own his
• 4:30
  baseball rights. And if you are a fan of offense,
• 4:34
  Monday night in Green Bay was ugly. The Philadelphia
• 4:38
  Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 10 -7 in
• 4:42
  a tightly contested match at Lambeau Field. The
• 4:46
  Eagles' chances of capturing the number one seed
• 4:48
  rose to 33 % with this win. Jalen Hurts connected
• 4:53
  with Devonta Smith for a 36 -yard touchdown pass,
• 4:58
  helping the Eagles improve to 7 -2. Meanwhile,
• 5:03
  the Packers struggled, scoring their first points
• 5:05
  with just 5 minutes and 49 seconds left in the
• 5:09
  game. They fell from first to third in the NFC
• 5:12
  North standings with a record of . . . five wins,
• 5:15
  three losses, and one tie in local sports. After
• 5:21
  seven straight wins, the Patriots are no longer
• 5:24
  just a scrappy surprise team, proving they are
• 5:27
  the best team in the American football conference
• 5:29
  heading into Week 11. Their recent victory over
• 5:33
  the Buccaneers showcased their impressive potential,
• 5:36
  with quarterback Drake May leading a balanced
• 5:39
  offense. While the Colts and Broncos have similar
• 5:42
  records, they still have much to prove, unlike
• 5:46
  New England. In a significant coaching move,
• 5:49
  Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play
• 5:52
  -calling duties, resulting in a solid win against
• 5:55
  the commanders. Meanwhile, pressure mounts for
• 5:59
  Falcons coach Raheem Morris as the team struggles
• 6:02
  to find success. In top news, an observatory
• 6:08
  detected the first radio signal from the interstellar
• 6:11
  object. 3 -I Atlas, confirming its natural origin.
• 6:17
  This signal, detected by Meerkat, a radio telescope
• 6:20
  in South Africa, was not a technological transmission.
• 6:25
  Instead, it showed lines of radio absorption
• 6:27
  by hydroxyl radicals, consistent with typical
• 6:31
  comet activity. Astrophysicist A. V. Loeb noted
• 6:35
  that continued monitoring is necessary to determine
• 6:38
  the nature of 3 -I Atlas. While some still speculate
• 6:43
  about its origin, the detection has sparked public
• 6:46
  interest in astrophysics. Mark your calendars
• 6:49
  for December 19, when 3I Atlas reaches its closest
• 6:53
  point to Earth. In business news, Warren Buffett,
• 7:00
  the 95 -year -old chairman and chief executive
• 7:03
  officer of Berkshire Hathaway, announced he is
• 7:06
  going quiet in his annual Thanksgiving letter.
• 7:09
  While he will continue writing messages to his
• 7:12
  children and shareholders, he will no longer
• 7:14
  write the annual shareholder letter once Greg
• 7:17
  Abel takes over as chief executive at the end
• 7:20
  of this year. Buffett expressed he generally
• 7:23
  feels good, despite the effects of aging on his
• 7:26
  balance, sight, hearing, and memory. He donated
• 7:30
  shares valued at roughly $1 .3 billion to four
• 7:34
  family foundations. Buffett remains optimistic
• 7:38
  about Berkshire's future and discusses the importance
• 7:40
  of philanthropy and succession planning. In crypto
• 7:44
  movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at $106 ,000.

  Ethereum is down half a percent to just under
• 7:54

• 8:48
  back to the show. Let's talk science. Around
• 8:52
  the world, the race is on to harness the near
• 8:55
  -infinite power of nuclear fusion. In a small
• 8:58
  town in the south of France, A scientific megaproject
• 9:02
  is inching closer to solving global energy needs
• 9:05
  by building a star on Earth. The project, called
• 9:10
  ITER, aims to replicate the Sun's process of
• 9:13
  fusion, which produces energy without carbon
• 9:16
  emissions. Despite facing delays and skepticism
• 9:20
  from some scientists, ITER has reached significant
• 9:24
  milestones, including the successful installation
• 9:27
  of the first vacuum vessel module. As nations
• 9:31
  collaborate, the project symbolizes hope for
• 9:34
  clean energy, though challenges remain ahead.
• 9:38
  The ultimate goal is to achieve energy -positive
• 9:41
  fusion by 2039. And in entertainment news, in
• 9:49
  an exclusive exit interview, late -night host
• 9:52
  Steph Colbert reflects on his cancellation from
• 9:55
  The Late Show. after nearly nine years as the
• 9:58
  number one show in late night. Colbert humorously
• 10:02
  shares his surprise upon learning from his manager
• 10:05
  that the show would end, calling it interesting.
• 10:09
  He notes that the decision was purely financial,
• 10:12
  unrelated to the show's performance. Despite
• 10:15
  the cancellation, Colbert emphasizes his commitment
• 10:18
  to making the remaining episodes memorable. He
• 10:22
  describes the energy he receives from the audience
• 10:24
  as the best medicine and expresses gratitude
• 10:28
  for his time in late -night television. Well,
