00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Seventy nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:09.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Some new life for

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Saint Elizabeth Medical Center. Governor Morrich Healey formerly seizing the

4
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 1>medical center in Brighton through eminent domain to keep that

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>hospital open. It allows the state to take control of

6
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 1>the property and transition operations to a new medical services provider,

7
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Boston Medical Center. This has continued to fallout from Stuart

8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Healthcare's bankruptcy. Boston Medical Center and Stewart had previously reached

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>an agreement transfer operations of Saint Elizabeth's to BMC, an

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 1>asset management firm Apollo, refused to accept BMC's bid for

11
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>the real estate. Now, the action by the governor will

12
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>allow a hospital to remain open and serving patients. New

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>York City's Mayor Merrick Adams pleading not guilty at his

14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>arraignment today on federal corruption charges.

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Adams, joined by his defense attorney, turned himself in Friday

16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>morning at Manhattan Federal Court, where he was processed, finger printed, photographed,

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and read his rights before entering his plea. The judge

18
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>agreed that Adams be released on his own signature. Provided

19
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>he has no contact with witnesses or others listed by

20
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the government regarding the indictment. Prosecutors hit Adams with a

21
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 2>five count indictment Thursday, claiming he accepted lavish gifts and

22
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>trips from Turkish officials, as well as solicited campaign contributions.

23
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Adams has been resisting growing calls to resign and is

24
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>the first sitting mayor to be federally charged.

25

<v Speaker 1>That's correspondent Christen Marx a visit to the border for

26

28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 3>She'll again call out Trump for his role in killing

29
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>the bipartisan border bill earlier this year, saying, quote, the

30
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 3>American people deserve a president who cares more about border

31
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 3>security than playing political games. The Vice President will meet

32
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 3>with border patrol agents and tout the pay raises they

33
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 3>received under the Biden administration, but she'll also argue they

34
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 3>need more resources to do their jobs. Karen Travers ABC

36
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Polls now show former President Donald Trump has an advantage

37

40
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Just discuss it and if we have a win.

41
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 5>I think low before January twentieth, before I would take

42
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 5>the presidency.

43
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 4>It's January twentieth, but long before that.

44
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 5>I think that we can work out something that's good.

45
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 1>For both, said Today's meeting, coming as many Republicans have

59
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>in there as we go into the latter part of

60
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon. It's been a pretty nice day, comfortable too,

61
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>well into the seventies in many places. Tonight we'll have

62
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a few clouds around. We'll fall back to about sixty

63
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in the city, fifties in the suburbs tomorrow, more clouds

64
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>than sun, but they'll be sun. So that's nice upper

65
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>sixties along the coast, low seventies inland. It's going to

66
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 1>be a cooler day on Sunday, a mix of clouds

67
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>and sun, with temperatures in the mid sixties and then

68
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.680

82
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.839

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 1>is a man in his forties exposed in southern Essex County.

93
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>As a result, the West Nile risk levels are being

94
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 1>raised moderate in Middleton in Essex County and North Redding

95
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 1>in Middlesex County. There have been three hundred and thirty

96
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>two West Nile positive mosquito samples so far this year

97
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>in the state, officials reminding everyone to avoid mosquito bites

98
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>using mosquito proof of clothing as well as a lot

99

<v Speaker 1>of bug spray. Helene has been downgraded to a topical depression,

100
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's still causing widespread damage across the southeast.

102
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 5>will stall over the Tennessee Valley over the weekend. That

103
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 5>means there'll be a lot more rain in places that

104
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 5>don't need any more rate. It's already been soggy across

105
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 5>much of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, and they'll have

106
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 5>more rain through the weekend. Flooding continues to be a

107
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 5>life threatening problem across the southern Appalachian Mountains. Many roads

108
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.240
