00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 2>not yet. They're coming at sixty three. We're headed for

4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>seventy degrees today and some thunderstorm. So listen up. We've

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>got a lot more in that weather getting nasty later,

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 2>both here and streaming on the iHeartRadio app indictment unsealed,

7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>we are now learning exactly what charges are being leveled

8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>against the mayor of New York City in a breach

9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>of trust. We get more now in the special report

10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>from CBS News.

11
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 3>Eric Adams faces five criminal counts. The charge is unsealed

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>just minutes ago, including a charge of wire fraud, two

13
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 3>charges of solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national,

14
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 3>and a charge of bribery. In a video statement released

15
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 3>after his indictment was made public yesterday, Adams came out swing.

16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 4>It is now my belief that the federal government intends

17
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 4>to charge me with crimes.

18
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>If so, these charges.

19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 4>Will be entirely false, based on lives.

20
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 3>CBS's Christina fan Is in UK.

21
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 5>There's been an avalanche of calls for Mayor Adams to resign.

22
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 5>Many of those voices are coming from within his own

23
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 5>political party, including those who are running against him and

24
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic primary next year.

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 3>Again, the indictment has been unsealed and New York City

26
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Eric Adams faces five criminal counts. CBS News special

27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 3>report on Vickie.

28
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Parker tracking a Hurricane Helene's strengthening into a Cap two

29
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 2>hurricane as it swirls toward Florida, gaining strength over those

30
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>warm waters. Much of the state is now under warnings,

31
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>even evacuations, about life threatening conditions later when this hurricane

32
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 2>makes landfall, possibly as a Category four. This is a

33
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>monster storm. And again ABC's ginger Z who's actually a meteorologist,

34
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>she's a meteorologist, is more from Saint Petersburg.

35
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 6>Those warnings take you all the way into making Georgia.

36
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 6>And that's because wind is going to be a big issue.

37
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 6>We're talking wind speeds that will be a hurricane force

38
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 6>to merely Atlanta. Widespread power outages and trees down. Not

39
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 6>going to be easy to go anywhere late tonight. And

40
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 6>most importantly, when this thing wraps up over the Blue

41
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 6>Ridge Mountains drops even more rain up to eighteen inches total.

42
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 6>We could see landslides in parts of western North Carolina,

43
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 6>South Carolina, and eastern Tennessee.

44
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>You know if you've ever responded or lived through a storm.

45
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>And of course so many of us are new Englanders

46
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>or you're new here, well welcome. We have to think

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>about the Massachusetts Task Force one. These guys and gals

48
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>are out of Beverly, mass They are in Florida right now.

49
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>This is a FIR FEMA of FEMA search and rescue

50
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>team at the ready to assist in a very dangerous situation.

51
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>So we're thinking of you and again we'll love more

52
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>as it happens. Getting underway right now on Beacon Hill bill,

53
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>the State Senate is going into session and one item

54
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>on the agenda a bill that would allow more families

55
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>with pets to foster children. Right now, any home with

56
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>a pitbull, a Rotweiler, a German shepherd, it can be

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>being honored this year patrolman Paul Tracy corrections officer Anthony Pascarello.

63
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Tracy was killed while working a detail in Waltham last year.

64
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Pascarella died of COVID while working at a correctional facility

65
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>in Middleton in twenty twenty one. Another officer and another

<v Speaker 2>have more grace, guys. We have fog, we have rained,

69
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>but the worst is yet to come. We have some

70
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>very heavy rain and strong winds thunderstorms in this forecast

71
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>for this afternoon into tonight. By tomorrow beautiful weather heading

72
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 2>into a gorgeous weekend. Our first full weekend of fall

73
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>will not disappoint. Eleven O five. We are learning more

74
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>about how some wayward bulls were able to buck and

75
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>break their way to freedom at that rodeo in North Attleborough.

76
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 2>WBC's Jim McKay rounded up the details.

77
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 7>This special Events working group in North Addleborough, consisting of

78
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 7>members of the local police, fire and public works departments,

79
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 7>conducted an investigation this week and found that a loose

80
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 7>pin on the fence keeping the bulls penned in got dislodged,

81
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 7>and it allowed for the bulls to make an easy

82
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 7>exit from that parking lot. Rodeo at the Emerald Square

83
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 7>Mall the town of North Addleborough releasing a statement this

84
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 7>week saying they do not expect any charges and this

85
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 7>was a no negligence situation. The group operating the rodeo

86
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 7>will be reinforcing their fencing in the future. Jim MCKAWBC

88
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Once flooded twice Shy, the town of Northandover looks at

89
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>ways to protect itself from future flooding. The Eagle Tribune says,

90
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 2>thanks to a state grant, the town will do a

91
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>floodplain study if its rivers and dams and look at

92
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>what infrastructure changes are necessary to prevent a repeat of

93
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the summer of twenty twenty three. Flash flooding in northand

94
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Over that summer gutted businesses and homes and overwhelmed roadways.

95
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Nearly eighty cars flooded out had to be towed. It

96
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>was a disaster, and you know, it made it worse

97
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>since that area had actually not been determined to be

98
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in a floodplain. Very few people in that town of

99
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Northandover even had flood insurance. Let's go back in time

100
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to something that's time less. The message tree has officially

101
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>succumbed to old age decades after it became an icon

102
00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>at Woodstock.

103
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 4>One hundred year old tree was in danger of falling down,

104
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 4>so it has been removed. It became famous after three

105
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 4>day concert in Bethel, New York that drew hundreds of

106
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>thousands in a major cultural monument to peace and love

107
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 4>in the violent and unsettling late nineteen sixties. It was

108
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 4>pre cell phone and posting scraps of paper with messages

109
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 4>on the tree was an effective way to communicate. The

110
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 4>tree is in almost every wide picture of the stage

111
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 4>from the hillside. The museum at Bethel Woods is seeking

112
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 4>proposals to create works of art using the salvageable wood.
