00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>News seventy five partly Sonny Definitely Hazy in Boston. It's

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>eleven o'clock on this Monday morning, August fourth. Hello, I'm

4
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Sherry Small. Here's what's happening. There's still no end in

5
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>site for the sanitation workers strike. Our wbz's James Rojas

6
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 2>is in Wakefield with very latest.

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 3>These trash bands out on the curb are going to

8
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 3>be picked up, but not by union members, says. The

9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 3>strike between or Public Services employees and the company goes

10
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 3>into week five. This comes after a ninety three percent

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 3>of vote in favor of holding the picking line. The

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>move has the support of Tony from Wakefield and this

13
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>union guy from Manchester. Stay with it, stay with it,

14
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 3>you get what you want, try and get what you want.

15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 3>I hope so I wish from Marble Walk in the world.

16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 4>You should fight whatever for whatever they want.

17
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I support you, and so I'm a part.

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Of a union.

19
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, Republic Services says it's disappointed in the vote, adding

20
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 3>it remains ready to meet with union leadership when they're

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 3>serious about reaching an agreement. In Wakefield, James Rojas WBZ

22
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Boston Snows Radio.

23
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Boston could become the new home of the Connecticut Sun.

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>That's if the WNBA approves the deal. A group led

25
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>by Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Paliuca has reached a

26
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>deal to buy the Connecticut Sun for a record three

27
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty five million and move the team out

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>of the Mohegan Sun area and relocate it here in Boston.

29
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>In a statement, though, the league emphasized that relocation decisions

30
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>are made by the WNBA Board of Governors, not by

31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>individual teams, So we're going to have to wait a

32
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>little longer on approval before celebrating, and if the sale

33
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>does get approved, the team wouldn't play in Boston until

34
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty seventh season. The Sun has played one

35
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>regular season game at ted Garden each of the last

36
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 2>two years, including one against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

37
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>In July, President Trump's Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff met with

38
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>hostage families over the weekend. We get the latest on

39
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>that from ABC's Ian Pannell from Tel Aviv.

40
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 4>What he told them was, we are very very close

41
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 4>to a solution to end this war. What does that mean.

42
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>He says that Hamas has said that they are prepared

43
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 4>to demilitarize, which is frankly mystifying because publicly, at least,

44
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 4>that's not what they're saying. He also says that there's

45
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 4>a plan to bring all hostages home at once again

46
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 4>mystifying because they're struggling to bring even small groups home.

47
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>An Israeli official also Telegabc News that Prime Minister nets

48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>and Yahoo is pushing to expand the military operation to

49
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 4>release the hostage through a military.

50
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Solution, and Hamas says it will allow the Red Cross

51
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to visit the hostages if Israel opens humanitarian corridors across

52
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>all of Gaza and stops bombing during the Red Cross visits. Meanwhile,

53
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Russian officials sending a veiled warning to President Trump without

54
00:02:58.560 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>naming names.

55
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 5>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters quote, everybody should be very,

56
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 5>very cautious with nuclear rhetoric. This in response to President

57
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Trump's announcement that he's deployed two US nuclear submarines to

58
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 5>quote appropriate regions. That move itself followed a threatening tweet

59
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 5>from former Russian president Dmitri Medvedev Vicki Barker, CBS News, London.

60
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Now here's the fort a WBZ achu weather forecast. That

61
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>haze that you may have been noticing in the air

62
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 2>last couple days again today is due to Canadian wildfire smoke.

63
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>It's also triggering an air quality alert that's in effect

64
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>through midnight tonight. Sunshine but hazy ive eighty five today,

65
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>closer to ninety inland, near eighty for the Cape. In

66
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the Islands, mainly clear Tonight, we'll cool off to sixty

67
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>seven in the city, near sixty for some of those

68
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>inland suburbs. All right Tomorrow partly sunny. Seventy six is

69
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the high in the city, so we'll cool down into

70
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>the low to mid eighties for the inland areas. Wednesday

71
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 2>pretty much a carbon coffee of Tuesday. Thursday, clouds breaking

72
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>for some sunshine. Highs could reach about eighty and if

73
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>we look at the extended forecast for Friday, more sunshine

74
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and highs could reach the mid eighties. Right now, partly

75
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>sunny and seventy five in Boston, it's eleven oh five.

76
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Back to News, an unfortunate sign of summer coming to

77
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 2>an end. Sunsets are now happening before eight o'clock.

78
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>The sun's already been setting earlier and earlier, but once

79
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>we hit this point, it really starts to feel real.

80
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>There's now only eight weeks left of summer, and the

81
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>thought of the summer slipping away leaves many people feeling blue.

82
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 6>Makes me sad.

83
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>I love being out so late.

84
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 5>It's a depressing thought, if I'm going to be honest.

85
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 2>The night calendar turns to August first, it always brings

86
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of sadness about the sun and the

87
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>school year coming.

88
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>But folks like Michelle are trying to focus on the

89
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>bright side while it's still bright.

90
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Out bed great summer.

91
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the weather's been great.

92
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Lots of activities.

93
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>The Red Sox are doing well that I can't complain

94
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 2>at all. Now.

95
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Even Lawrence wants to make the most of his chaotic

96
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>summer days. I got a four month o these days,

97
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 1>so my days kind of all feel like a blur, honestly.

98
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see.

99
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>We'll try to plan something and you know, maybe be

100
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>more outdoors.

101
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see it from the common.

102
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Brady WBZ Boston's news.

103
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Radio Right blood is thicker than a regular paycheck. The

104
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Salem News reporting the daughter and son fired market basket

105
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>exec Joe Schmidt are leaving the company. Twenty year old

106
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Julius Schmidt has worked at the bakery at a Nashvielle

107
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Market basket store for five years. Sixteen year old Jacob

108
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>has been a bagger for the last year, both submitting

109
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 2>letters of resignation to the company's board of directors. Their

110
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>father worked for the grocery chain for thirty nine years.

111
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>He and another longtime exec were fired in July for insubordination.

112
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Several others are on suspension, including CEO Arthur T. Demulis,

113
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>who scheduled for a mediation session with the board on

114
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>September third. All right. President Trump defending his decision to

115
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 2>fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

116
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 6>President Trump pledging to announce a new head for the

117
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 6>Bureau of Labor Statistics after he fired Commissioner Erica Macintarfer

118
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 6>on Friday, claiming without evidence that the latest jobs numbers

119
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 6>were manipulated to make him look bad.

120
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>We had no confidence.

121
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the numbers were ridiculous.

122
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 6>But he has yet to provide any concrete evidence of that.

123
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 6>The President's top economic advisor's adamant Trump isn't shooting the

124
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 6>messenger in the wake of the poor jobs report, but

125
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 6>they say he does want his own appointee in place.

126
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's ABC's Mary Bruce reporting now. The report showed

127
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>seventy three thousand jobs were added in July, which was

128
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 2>much lower than what was expected. You are now in
