00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. Union concession workers at

4
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall plan to rally at

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Fenway before the Red Sox game tonight. They say they're

6
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>doing this to send a message to Arara Mark and

7
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Fenway Sports Group.

8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Now.

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Last month, the workers walked off the job for a

10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>three day strike while the Dodgers were in town. I

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 2>told fans go to the game, but don't buy any

12
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>souvenirs or concessions. In a release, the workers say since

13
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 2>that last strike, Ara Mark has not reached out to

14
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>them or scheduled any bargaining dates, and now they might

15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>strike again for longer. In a statement to WBZ News Radio,

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Era Mark says it respects the worker's right to strike

17
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and looks forward to continuing to bargain in good faith.

18
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>It's eleven oh one and the Trump administration has canceled

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.399

<v Speaker 1>Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior calls the mRNA technology

22
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>too risky, even though it's been widely used for COVID

23
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and flu vaccines. CBS News Medico contributor doctor Selene Gounder

24
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>what the.

25
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Advantage of mRNA is is it's much faster to make

26
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>than a protein vaccine. It's much more efficient, and so

27
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 4>when you're in the middle of an emergency like a

28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 4>COVID pandemic, you want the fastest thing possible, something that

29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.079

31
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.120

<v Speaker 2>Companies researching these mRNA vaccines is Maderna, which is based

34
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in Cambridge. We reached out to ask them if they're

35
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>impacted at all by this. They told us they're not

36
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>aware of any new contract cancelations involving their company, but

41
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration is considering releasing the transcript from the

42
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Department of Justice interview with Gilaine Maxwell. She's the convicted

43
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein. Meantime, we're hearing from the brother

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Epstein and Maxwell, took her own life in April. Her

47
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 3>sister in law, Amanda Roberts, tell CBS Mornings Gilaine Maxwell

48
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 3>was a monster who took part in the abuse, and

49
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 3>she should not have been moved to a minimum security

50
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 3>prison camp while she appeals her conviction.

51
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 4>It is a slap in the face the idea that

52
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 4>she could potentially get.

53
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>A part in Sky.

54
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.560

<v Speaker 3>his sister.

56
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>She was a powerful voice in the survivor community.

57
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.319

58
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>It is still certainly smoky out there in some areas

59
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>today from the Canadian wildfires, and we don't exactly have

60
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>an air quality alert in place. We do if you're

63
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>a bit hazy out there, although not as densely as

64
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>it was yesterday. We can actually see a little bit

65
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>through the haze today. Later on we'll get up to

66
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>about seventy five if you're on the coast, and eighty

67
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.120

76
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.520

81
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>of powassan virus use. Every time we're out and about.

82

<v Speaker 5>Lydia comes to great Esco Park in Weymouth with her

83
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 5>children on nice summer days. Tick safety always on her

84
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.000

<v Speaker 5>Poason virus only adding to those concerns.

86
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>That's quite concerning as we got a lot of kids

87
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 2>and animals. Yeah, it's too bad, especially right now.

<v Speaker 6>DC police reports as the incident happened Sunday morning, around

102
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 6>three am, officers said they saw a group of about

103
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 6>ten teens surrounding a vehicle assaulting a man who said

104
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 6>he was protecting his girlfriend. As police approached, the young

105
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 6>assailants took off on foot. Two were arrested. The victim

106
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 6>was identified as nineteen year old Edward Korstein, who was

107
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 6>a top Dog staffer when the effort was led by

108
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 6>Elon Musk. President Trump posted a picture of the bloodied

109
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.560

113
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>City of Quincy says it wants a judge to dismiss

114
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>a lawsuit over a plan to install a pair of

115
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>giant statues outside the new public Safety building. Fifteen residents

116
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of various faiths teaming up with the ACLU and other

117
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 2>advocacy groups for the suit, which claims the statues of

118
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Saint Michael and Saint Florian promote a certain religion over others.

119
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>That is something that government agencies are not allowed to

120
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>do here in Massachusetts. Patriot Ledger reports Mayor Thomas Kocou's

121
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Catholic maintains the statues are meant to boost morale and

122
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>promote good over evil. The city also claims the ten

123
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>foot tall bronze statue use have no religious purpose. The

124
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>city also says in the motion to try to dismiss

125
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the suit that not installing the statues at this point

126
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>will amount to anti Catholic discrimination and dissociating and scrolling

127
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>endlessly on your phone is not just causing problems to

128
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>your mental health, it's also not doing you any favors physically.

129
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 3>The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart

130
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 3>Association says ten to eighteen year olds who spent more

131
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>time on devices or at higher risk for high blood pressure,

132
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 3>high cholesterol, and insulin resistance. The association's doctor Amanda Marma

133
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Perik says those kids moved less and slept less. Coding

134
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 3>or doing research on screens could be beneficial, but not

135
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 3>more passive activities.

136
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Like social media and YouTube and those kinds of short videos.

137
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 3>The researchers found ten year olds or on devices three

138
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 3>hours a day on average, eighteen year olds are on
