<v Speaker 2>things are starting to look up.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 3>A writer and dryer and warmer day. Today is low

11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 3>clouds and fog give way to some sunshine at is

<v Speaker 3>WBZ Acky weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Very muggy though today

13
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 3>and right through tomorrow. Some rain is expected tomorrow afternoon.

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Time for the beach baby. Starting today, the state's water

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 3>quality Dashboard will be up and running. The Department of

16
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 3>Public Health updates conditions at dozens of public beaches every

17
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 3>day and sometimes several times a day, to determine which

18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 3>one might be off limits due to algae blooms or

19
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 3>other conditions which can cause you to keep your fun

20
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>in the sand and away from the waves. It's time

21
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 3>to go to bed. TikTok says, so.

22
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>TikTok wants to help users wind down and relax. That's

23
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 1>why it's rolling out of feature that after ten pm

24
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 1>automatically guides those younger than eighteen to meditation exercises. It

25
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>also pushes alerts encouraging users to go to bed. Ophelia

26
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>from Cambridge thinks it's a great idea because.

27
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 4>It's too much stimulation Chris for little kids, especially being

28
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 4>on online. So I think that's a really good thing

29
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 4>for them to just decompress before bed.

30
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>John over here has some recommendations to help kids disconnect.

31
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Read a book, live in the moment. Just be present, John,

32
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I from Boston to read from flying back to Alaska

33
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>right now Alaska.

34
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a good way to connect. Also, the meditation

35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>feature will also be available for adults by switching to

36
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 1>the sleep hour setting. James Rojas WBZ, Boston's news radio.

44
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>WBC's Drew moholland is here holding out any hope. I

45
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>got a little hope. I think this is looking good.

46
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I actually think this is looking I might not.

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Put it in the good category, but I'm gonna I'm

48
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 5>keeping the faith. But I do have one question for you, Jeffrey, and.

49
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 4>To ask yourself one question.

50
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 6>Do I feel lucky?

51
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Well?

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 6>To me?

53
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>You hope?

54
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 4>Man?

55
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 5>All right? So by the numbers here, jeff Right, the

56
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 5>Celtics they've actually come back from three to one series

57
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 5>deficits twice nineteen sixty eight, some of you might remember

58
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 5>that out there, all right, and then again in nineteen

59
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 5>eighty one. So there's been like thirteen teams in the

60
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 5>NBA who have come back from three one.

61
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Series that the Celtics or two of them.

62
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 5>And they're two of them.

63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

64
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 5>And actually the Dallas Mavericks did it twice during the

65
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 5>COVID season in twenty when they were in the bubble. Yep,

66
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 5>they did it twice at the same playoff runs so

67
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 5>there's that. And if you're wondering, you know, you want

68
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 5>to put a little wager or something on this. If

69
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 5>you bet one hundred dollars on the Celtics to win

70
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 5>the series, it means two games. They're gonna win two games.

71
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 5>They're at plus two twenty seven. So one hundred dollars

72
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 5>wins you two hundred and twenty in the Celtics.

73
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>That's so you're telling me, yeah, there's the check.

74
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 5>There you go.

75
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you, Drew. I don't mean to add

76
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 2>to your honeydeo list this weekend, but you might want

77
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>to think about popping the AC's in the window. It's

78
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>very muggy this morning in Boston. We do have that

79
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Florida feel out the door sixty four in the city

80
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>right now. We've got a thick blanket of clouds and

81
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>some thick, patchy fog in areas this morning, both of

82
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>which will burn off. We will see some increasing amounts

83
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of sunshine later on today. Temperatures are going to be

84
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>very close to eighty degrees and inland locations load to

85
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>mid seventies even along the waterfront today and will be

86
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>very humid as well. Cloudy overnight tonight, and a couple

87
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 2>of spotty showers through the area. Lose once again in

88
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the sixties. Tomorrow is not a washout, but at the

89
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>same time, we need to keep at least one eye

90
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to the sky, especially later in the afternoon when a

91
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>line of potentially severe thunderstorms rolls through. It looks like

92
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>we will see some sunshine along the way tomorrow and

93
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>high temperatures will be in the low to mid seventies.

94
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Looks like it's a slightly calmer day to rind up

95
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the weekend on Sunday, with the mixture of sun and clouds,

96
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>breezy conditions, and the possibility of a shower again. High

97
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 2>temperatures in the seventies. Right now, it's already sixty four

98
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>but cloudy skies in Boston six oh six this Friday morning.

99
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>A closer look at deadly injuries at the Karen Reid trial.

100
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 6>So on his right eyelet there was a small laceration.

101
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 6>I also observed abrasions on the anterior and the left

102
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 6>aspect of the nose.

103
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>The medical examiner explains her autopsy results of John O'Keefe.

104
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>The pictures not easy to see.

105
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Judge Beverly connote set the tone early for what would

106
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 4>be a difficult day for the jury looking at graphic

107
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 4>photos from the autopsy on the body of John O'Keefe,

108
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 4>photos so graphic that at one point the judge called

109
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 4>a recess at the request of a juror. The medical

110
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>exabitor who conducted the autopsy testified she concluded O'Keeffe died

111
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 4>from blunt impact injuries to the head in hypothermia, but

112
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 4>the doctor could not determine how those injuries were sustained.

113
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 4>At the courthouse and debt of Mike Macklin WVZ Boston's

115
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Smoke, there might be fire, The La County Sheriff's office

116
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>opens a criminal investigation into legendary Motown singer Smokey Robinson

117
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 2>after several women come forward with allegations of sexual assault,

118
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>all of them former employees, who want fifty million dollars

119
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>in damages in a civil lawsuit. They claim Robinson attacked

120
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 2>them when his wife was out of the house. Lawyers

121
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>for Robinson deny the allegations. Officials with the Sheriff's departments

122
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>say the civil claims by the four Jane Does is

123
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 2>enough to warrant their investigation, which is in the early stages,

124
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and no further details are being released. New clues this

125
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>morning about the mysterious impact of the condition known as

126
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>long COVID.

127
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 7>Doctors say they're getting closer to understanding the brain fog

128
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 7>many long COVID patients experience. A study by Corwell Health

129
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 7>found people who experience brain fog have more inflammation in

130
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 7>their brain than other patients. Up until now, doctors have

131
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 7>had challenges understanding why some patients develop brain fog and

132
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 7>others don't.

134
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.399

135
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>about to release some guidelines that might put some severe

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.800

137
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>available at all. Officials say they want a streamline and

138
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>simplify what they call a complicated FDA approval system, with

139
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>the potential recommendation that only those with chronic conditions be
