<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Seventy four degrees in Boston. It's eleven o'clock on Friday morning.

3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>You've made it to the end of the work week.

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm Nicole Davis. Thanks for joining us. Here's what's happening.

5
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Some marijuana users here in Massachusetts are looking forward to

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 2>new regulations coming down today that could allow them to

7
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>partake more in social settings. Here's so many BSS James Rojasa.

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts could become the eleventh state to allow the consumption

9
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>of marijuana at events or social settings. Supporters say it

10
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>could benefit tourism, added.

11
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Bonus to their travels potentially, And I think if there's

12
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>something like bars, cannabis bars, that kind of thing, again,

13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>it's another it's another thing to drop people out into.

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Those Some would have concerns.

15
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Certainly consistent with other practices. I'm suspicious generally, however, that

16
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 3>you're going to inhibit your reaction time.

17
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>The Cannabis Control Commission is asking for public feedback on

18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>whether to allow the purchase of products and the use

19
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>of it in the same location or at designated events

20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>and places in downtown Boston. James Rojas WBZ Boston Some

21
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>News radio.

22
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>This comes as the state auditor, Diana Dezaglio, says she

23
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>has discovered significant problems at the Cannabis Control Commission. Her

24
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>office has put out a brand new audit that looked

25
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>at the state agency's operations between twenty twenty two and

26
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. Among other issues, the audit claims there

27
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>was potential favoritism and or impropriety, and there also weren't

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>any proper digital or paper records kept on fee collection,

29
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>all of which Dezaglio's office says led to revenue laws

30
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>for the state. The report also says the agency did

31
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>not properly enforce regulations. There was also a lack of

32
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>supervision and accountability for staff. A spokesperson for the commission

33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>telling WBZ News Radio they've been working closely with the

34
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Auditor's office and they've made progress on many of those

35
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>issues that were raised. And Trump is on his way

36
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>to Anchorage, Alaska right now for a summit this afternoon

37
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

38
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 4>The president is expected to hold a news conference at

39
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 4>the conclusion of the summit. He says, if the meeting

40
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 4>goes well, it'll be a joint news conference with Vladimir

41
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 4>Putin by his side, But if it goes poorly, and

42
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>he says there's a twenty five percent chance that it will,

43
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 4>he'll hold his own news conference and then head back

44
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>here to Washington. Trump has aired the hope that a

45
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 4>second meeting with Vladimir Zelinsky could be hastily arranged, maybe

46
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 4>even right there in Alaska. But that's only if things

47
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 4>work out between him and Putin. Later today and this.

48
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 2>ABC, Stephen Portnoy now on board Air Force One. This morning,

49
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the President told reporters that security guarantees for Ukraine are possible.

50
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>He did say those guarantees have to include Europe, but

51
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>did rule out NATO membership for Ukraine. When it comes

52
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>to weather news, we have some developing in the Atlantic

53
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 2>right now. It's Hurricane Aaron is officially now the first

54
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>hurricane of this year's Atlantic hurricane season, just about a

55
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Category one right now. Mack sustained wins of seventy five

56
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour. But this is not expected to even

57
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>approach the US for at least a few more days,

58
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 2>so that is not anything we have to factor into

59
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the weekend forecast. We are looking at a pretty good

60
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>weekend ahead today sun impatche clouds not as humid, high

61
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.680

62
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.360

64
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>eighty or so well inland. And then Sunday we could

65
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of storms in the afternoon and evening

66
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.280

68
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in Auburn. In Boston right now at eleven oh five,

69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>it's partly cloudy and seventy four. It's win or go

70
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 2>home now for the young sluggers from Braintree. Here's wbz's

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 5>After running through the New England Regionals with ease, Braintree

73
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 5>American lost thirteen to nothing in their first Little League

74
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 5>World Series game last night. Braintree was undefeated going into

75
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 5>the game, but the team from Irmo, South Carolina proved

76
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 5>to be a tough matchup. Now they have to win

77
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 5>out to win the whole thing, five straight games to

78
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 5>be exact. It starts on Saturday against the Southwest Champions

79
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.000

83
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.280

84
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Last month, the three judge panel rejected the bid, saying

85
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Judge Georgio o' toole's comments about the case are not

86
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>enough to merit a recusal. Now, Sarnaia's lawyers are asking

87
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the full First Circuit Appeals Court to reconsider Sarnaiya's legal team,

88
