00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>news in Boston. Right now, it's eighty three degrees, feels

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>more like eighty seven, a very hot and humid day.

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>On tap well of the forecast coming up in just

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. Here is

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>what's happening. It's a keen moment in the push for

7
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a ceasefire in Gaza. Later on today Israeli Prime Minister

8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin Netanya, who is coming to Washington. While he's here,

9
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll meet and die with the President Donald Trump. Both

10
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Israel and Hamas appear ready to talk about arrangements for

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>a pause or even an end to the fighting. ABC's

12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>James Longman reports some issues still have to be ironed out.

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Hamas wants the IDF to fully pull out of Gaza,

14
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and they're looking for US guarantees that this ceasefire will

15
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>lead to a complete end of the war. They also

16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 2>want the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to cease its operations. It

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>is a US backed initiative, but it has been accused

18
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>of some major vibeas and a ceasefire, of course, cannot

19
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>come soon enough for the people of Gaza. Hamas says

20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a surge of air strikes in just the last twenty

21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 2>four hours has left more than eighty people dead and

22
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>more than three hundred injured.

23
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>The US proposal would pause the war for sixty days,

24
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>boost much needed aid to that area for Palestinians, and

25
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>release all the remaining hostages being held by Hamas eleven

26
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>oh one. The fight for control between Harvard and the

27
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>White House has only been getting deeper over the past

28
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. Professors at Harvard say they don't want the

29
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>school to give In The Globe reports, hundreds of professors

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>in the school's professor union are urging leaders not to

31
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>make a deal to try to restore billions of dollars

32
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in cuts to federal aid. The American Association of University

33
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Professor's chapter has been speaking out through petitions and op eds.

34
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So far, leadership at Harvard has not said much about

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>those talks between the school and the White House. Now

36
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration, among other offenses, accusing Harvard of being

37
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>complicit about anti Semitic violence on campus and failing to

38
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>protect Jewish students. The school denies that and says it

39
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>is working on the situation. Three days after a devastating

40
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>downpour flooded parts of central Texas. The desperate search continues

41
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>for more than forty people still unaccounted for.

42
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>The floodwaters receding that death till mercilessly rising after that

43
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 3>early morning July fourth deluge sent a floodwave that swallowed

44
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>riverside camps and communities. Up to a foot of rain,

45
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 3>raised the Guadalupe River twenty six feet in less than

46
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 3>an hour, and a wall of water and debris tearing

47
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 3>through Camp Mystic, where seven hundred and fifty girls were

48
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 3>spending July fourth. Dozens of children and councilors trapped in

49
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 3>their bunks as the waters coursed through the camp. Ten

50
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 3>girls and one councilor still reported missing.

51
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Mackupman their official say at least eighty people are

52
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>considered dead and many more again are missing. Now. Help

53
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>is coming in from all over the country for those

54
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>impacted by the floods. The Community Foundation of the Texas

55
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Hill Country is rolled out a brand new effort they're

56
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to raise money and supplies for those in need,

57
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>called the Kerr County Flood Really Fund is see. All

58
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the money collected through the fund is going directly to

59
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>trusted local organizations to get food, healthcare, shelter, and other

60
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 1>critical needs to those in the area. Some showers out

61
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>there right now if you're in southeastern Massachusetts, if you're

62
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>on the capein Islands, it is wet, and we have

63
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 1>some downpours coming through as well in some areas. So

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>that is going to be the situation for the rest

65
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 1>of the day, especially in southeastern mass right there on

66
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the coast. Later on this afternoon, many of us, though

67
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>away from the coast, could get up to about the

68
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>mid nineties if you're right on the water, I'd say

69
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>upper eighties or so, and it's going to feel like

70
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the mid to upper nineties for all of us, very

71
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>very humid out there today. We have a heat advisory

72
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>form most of the state until just about eight o'clock,

73
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>except for the south coast capein Islands, conveniently where all

74
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 1>that shower activity is taking place now. For tonight, mostly cloudy,

75
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>a couple of showers and storms are possible once again

76
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>in southeastern mass Low in the mid seventies, so rather

77
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable sleeping weather for tomorrow. Clouds and sun, strong storms

78
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>possible for all of us throughout the afternoon. Hi just

79
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>about ninety and it will be cooler on the Capan Islands.

80
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Then Wednesday we really start to feel a change, not

81
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>as humid. Couple of showers and we have a high

82
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 1>in the seventies if you're on the coast, A little

83
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>bit cooler than that. Eighty four degrees right now in Medford,

84
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>west of Boston, eighty two in Framingham, eighty five in Stoton.

85
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 1>In Boston. Right now at left No. Six, it is

86
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 1>partly cloudy, eighty four degrees and it feels more like

87
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight. Folks and almost two dozen communities are hoping

88
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>for a speedy resolution to the sanitation workers strike as

89
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it goes into its second week.

90
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 4>With republic service workers on strike, Canton's town administrator and

91
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 4>other municipal leaders are asking both parties to get back

92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 4>to the negotiation table. Trash pickups started back up today,

93
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 4>with crews outside the state being called into help after

94
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 4>hundreds of sanitation workers hit the picket line last week.

95
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 4>Most people I talked to in Canton haven't noticed much

96
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 4>of a difference, but Peter says he's definitely aware of it.

97
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 5>I live in a condo community and it's just all pile.

98
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>In a letter to Republic Services. Canton, Malden, Peabdy, Gloucester,

99
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 4>Watertown and others are asking for better communication and better

100
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 4>clarity on how trash pickup will resume.

101
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 5>It is what it is, you know, if people were

102
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 5>God gen only should get what.

103
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 4>They don't deserve and Canton I'm a Friedman. W BZ,

<v Speaker 4>Boston's news.

105
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Radio developers in Boston appear to be investing heavily in

106
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming mayoral race. Politico reporting late last month, almost

107
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty thousand dollars was donated to Your City,

114
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a boost of thirty two grand, big portion of that

115
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 1>coming from Howard Cohen, the chair of Beacon Communities. Decades

116
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.519

117
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.279

<v Speaker 5>their final show, the group says it played for more

123
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 5>than four and a half million people in Boston. They

124
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.759

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 5>Boston as long as they have since they first opened
