<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>We defining local news. Eighty seven degrees in Boston at

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock that afternoon. I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 2>One more day with the head done, a little longer,

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 2>with the humidity, afraid of your friends.

6
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 3>We now have two point temperatures in the lower seventies,

7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 3>and this is oppressive territory and we're extrecting even more

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 3>humidity tomorrow.

9
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>So tomorrow is going to be the most humid day

10
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>we can expect over the next five to seven days.

11
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Nic CBS News Boston's Jason Michael. We're also watching some

12
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>thunderstorms that are rumbling through New England as we speak,

13
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>up or around northern New Hampshire, southern parts of New

14
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Hampshire too, off to the west around Keene, also into Vermont.

15
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>The Berkshire's getting a little bit of action and a

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>little bit back down toward Connecticut. So plenty of it

17
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>out there on the radar, nothing nearby, not yet. We'll

18
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>keep you posted. President Trump is looking to extend his

19
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>federal takeover of the DC Police. ABC Stephen Portnoy with more.

20
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>The law President Trump is invoked allows him to direct

21
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 1>the DC police for up to thirty days. In less

22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Congress acts to extend the emergency he's declared, Trump says

23
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>he'll ask lawmakers to do it long.

24
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Term extensions, because you can't have thirty days.

25
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>He shrugs off the concerns of critics who say the

26
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>president is imposing his will on the city. Instead of

27
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>saying he's a dictated they should say we're going to

28
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>join him and make Washington say. Trump spoke at the

29
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy Center, which he says he's planning to renovate, and

30
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>where he says he'll host the Kennedy Center Honors this December.

<v Speaker 1>Stephen port Noy, ABC News Washington.

32
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>The president of France says President Trump was very clear

33
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>in a meeting with European leaders that the US wants

34
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to achieve a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine at his

35
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>summit with Russian President Putin and Alaska on Friday. Speaking

36
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>after today's virtual meeting between Trump and Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky

37
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>along with other European leaders, President Emmanuel Macrone said the

38
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>US was prioritizing a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Taking

39
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 2>a closer look at the Smithsonian. The Trump administration says

40
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it'll review their museums and exhibits.

41
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Twenty twenty six, the nation will celebrate.

42
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Commemorate White House. Letter to Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,

43
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Lonnie's Bunch, follows up on President Trump's March executive order

44
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 3>calling for the removal of what he termed improper ideology.

45
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>It's time.

46
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 3>With next year's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the

47
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Declaration of Independence in mind.

48
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Twenty twenty six is a moment to inspire a greater

49
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 4>understanding of our nation's history and all its beauty and complexity.

50
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>The letter states.

51
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 3>The aim is to celebrate American exceptionalism and remove what

52
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 3>it calls partisan or divisive narratives. The Smithsonian says it

53
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 3>remains committed to factual history and is reviewing the letter.

54
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Be a part of this moment with your National Museum

55
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 4>of American History.

58
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>True Matter. Accused of using phony money to buy jewelry,

59
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Devin Johnson arraigned on July twenty second in one count

60
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>of larceny over twelve hundred dollars. The Suffolk County. DA

61
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>says he and another man paid one hundred and sixty

62
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars in cash for multiple Rolex watches changed another

63
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>jewelry at a jewelry store in downtown Crossing. When putting

64
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 2>it through a money counter. Two days later, the employees

65
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 2>realized that money was fake. Detectives say it looked more

66
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like movie prop bills. Police identified both men from video

67
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>surveillance footage and obtained a warrants for their arrest. Checking

68
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the Ford a w's a ACCU weather forecast. We've got

69
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>humidity in place and it's going to stay here for

70
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>another day and change. We do have some thunderstorms that

71
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>are firing off this afternoon, and most of them off

72
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>to the north and the west, and a few off

73
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 2>toward Connecticut as we speak, coming across the New York border.

74
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And we have that one cell moving off toward Rhode Island.

75
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 2>It came out of Hartford with some pretty hefty rain

76
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and gusty winds. It's lost a little punch, but still

77
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>has a little kick to it. Mc burke shear's getting

78
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it on. Some rain now and some more rain and

79
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>showers and some thunderstorm activity just off to the north

80
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>of Keene, New Hampshire. A few more cells further off

81
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>to the south and east in near Peterborough and Jaffrey,

82
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>New Hampshire. So we're watching these cells and keeping an

83
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>eye on them as they move closer and closer to

84
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>our area through the evening hours. Probably won't get into Boston.

85
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>They could, A little bit of them could, but most

86
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 2>of them will stay off to the north and west.

87
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>But we will watch them for you, because that's what

88
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>we do. Eighty degrees to high tomorrow, with more humidity

89
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and maybe some more thunderstorms, more muggy conditions tomorrow night,

90
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>but then we get much better Friday Saturday. Lower humidity,

91
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 2>mostly sunny, mid seventies in Boston on Friday, probably eighty

92
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. We may get back into the upper eighties

93
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. Right now, it's eighty seven degrees in Boston.

94
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 2>There's that old adage about the grass always being greener

95
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. How about the asphalt being greener

96
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the parking lot in Waltham

97
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>It is as we hear from wz's Kyle Bray.

98
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 5>Right now, it just looks like two freshly paved parking

99
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 5>spots but in the future, this spot could be the

100
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 5>first domino to fall in a green revolution. A British

101
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>company called Uberbinder had some of its new green asphalt

102
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 5>laid on the road for the first time ever. CEO

103
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Jet Yang says, it's all about the glue they used

104
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 5>to keep the asphalt rocks together.

105
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Over one hundred years, we've been using fossil oil based

106
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 6>between binders as glue to build, the repair and maintain

107
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 6>our vast paved road network, and so we need to

108
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 6>find a sustainable, scalable alternative.

109
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 5>Their new system uses sulfur, the fifth most abundant element

110
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 5>on the planet. They basically created a new molecule that

111
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 5>can help cut the greenhouse impact of asphalt by more

112
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 5>than twenty five percent. Mass mobility helped organize this whole thing.

113
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 5>Executive director Jamie Tesler says, it's one small step to

114
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 5>changing the world.

115
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Pavement is everywhere, and if we can do it better,

116
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>then we can do it cleaner. This is really important.

117
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 5>From Waltham, Kyle Bray, WBZ, Boston's news radio.

118
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Reindeer could be getting closer to becoming a figment of

119
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Santa's imagination.

120
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 7>Reindeer populations are projected to decline up to eighty percent

121
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 7>by the year twenty one hundred due to climate change,

122
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 7>according to new research published in the journal Science Advances.

123
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 7>Examining fossils, ancient DNA, and computer models, researchers studied reindeer

124
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 7>populations over the last twenty one thousand years, and while

125
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 7>the species have some many episodes of Arctic warming in

126
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 7>the past, the results suggest the expected losses in the

127
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 7>coming decades will be the most severe unless greenhouse gas

128
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 7>emissions are severely reduced and there's a strong investment in

129
