00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ in Boston's news radio. We defining local

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>news seventeenth degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.

3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. They're getting the band

4
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>back together. Alan Jackson is rejoining Karen Read's legal team

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>for the civil case against her. Jackson tells WVZ News

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Radio Hell will join reads legal team to defend her

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>against a wrongful death suit filed by John O'Keefe's family.

8
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>In a statement, Jackson says Karen's courage in confronting abuse

9
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>of power and demanding the truth is unwavering, and so

10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>are we. He says, this fight isn't over, not until

11
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>every lie is exposed and every wrong is made right.

12
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Though we was quitted criminally in O'Keefe's death, his family

13
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>filed the civil suit against Reed and two bars in Canton.

14
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Jackson was part of the defense in both of Reed's

15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>criminal trials. Date hasn't been set yet for the civil

16
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 1>proceedings to begin. The House Oversight Committee is issuing a series

17
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of subpoenas for information about Jeffrey Epstein and the government's

18
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>investigations of him over a span of two decades. The

19
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>subpoenas from the Republican led committee have gone to many

20
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>high profile people.

21
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>The House Oversight chair says, in addition to demanding the

22
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Epstein files from the Justice Department, his committee has issued

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton, former FBI directors James

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Comby and Robert Muller, and six of the last seven

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>attorneys general. Letters from the chairmen say the Clintons have

26
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>been subpoena because the former president repeatedly flew on Jeffrey

27
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Epstein's plane, and the former Secretary of State is not

28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>only married to Bill Clinton, she also oversaw efforts to

29
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>combat international sex trafficking.

30
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>That is ABC's Stephen Portnoy up on the roof. That

31
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was the President today taking a walk atop the White

32
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>House roof. He walked for nearly twenty minutes of the

33
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>on the West wing. Earlier today, he was checking out

34
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a space for his incoming two hundred million dollar ballroom.

35
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>The President says, it's just another way to spend my

36
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 1>money for this country. His outdoor stroll followed a talk

37
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with Ukrainian President Zelensky as the president's cease fired deadline

38
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>for Russia draws nearer. Two years ago, a deep sea

39
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 1>trip to the wreck of the Titanic ended in an implosion.

40
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Now some more information about what went wrong.

41
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 3>The US Coast Guard report revealed the twenty twenty three

42
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 3>titan submersible disaster was a result of preventable safety failures

43
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>and deliberate efforts to avoid oversight. The crew was descending

44
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 3>to the wreck of the Titanic off Canada before it imploded.

45
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 3>All five people aboard the titan died, including the CEO

46
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 3>of Oceangate. The investigation found the company ignored safety warnings

47
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 3>and the submersible's inadequate design and maintenance. The disaster has

48
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 3>led to lawsuits and calls for tighter regulation in private

49
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 3>deep sea tourism. Oceangate suspended its operations in July of

50
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three, weeks after the disaster. A spokesperson for

51
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 3>the company said it was fully cooperating with the investigation.

52
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm Marcella Sanchez.

53
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Smokey still sings due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The

54
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection extended in air quality advisory

55
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>for today for the four westernmost counties in the Commonwealth.

56
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Air quality in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties is

57
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. There is still

58
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>some haze in the rest of the state and as

59
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>we head deeper into the week that Hayes should leave us.

60
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Coming up on WBZ, some teenage chefs are hoping to

61
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>serve up success at a limited time restaurant Hayes around

62
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon. The most unhealthy airs out to the west,

63
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and as we head through the rest of the week,

64
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>certainly into Wednesday, Wednesday night, first part of Thursday, the

65
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Hayes will be dissipating for us, so we'll have a

66
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit better look at the skies. But for now,

67
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of haze around and a little bit

68
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 1>of sunshine for us this afternoon, though it's been hiding

69
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>behind the Hayes. We are looking at a couple of

70
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 1>pop up showers here now at southern Vermont. There's one

71
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>cell between about Bennington and Brattleborough that's moving off to

72
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the east fairly slowly, could end up in Kendo, Hampshire

73
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in short order. So we'll see nothing on the radar

74
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts, but there are some pop up showers a

75
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit further to the north for something to be

76
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>aware of if you're heading out, mid to upper fifties

77
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 1>for the lows in the suburbs. Tonight sixty two in

78
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the city, interitals of clouds and some hazy sunshine. Tomorrow,

79
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>seventy four in Boston, approaching eighty Inland Thursday, pretty much

80
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the same deal, and as mentioned, the Hayes is going

81
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>to start to dissipate a bit for us from those

82
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Canadian wildfires. Temperature's Thursday get close to eighty. Temperatures Friday

83
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>get into the mid eighties, maybe even some upper eighties,

84
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>cooler near the water, and we could get to ninety

85
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. We'll have to wait and see. It

86
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>is still August, after all. Seventy degrees right now in Boston.

87
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Now we're cooking well. Some teenagers are wbss Jable let

88
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 1>tells us they're taking over the kitchen and showing off

89
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>their culinary chops.

90
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm making some very pretty packaging for our bisk Off

91
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 4>cinnamon rolls.

92
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 5>Student chefs like Jace Vickers take a turn at being

93
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 5>the real thing for this week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

94
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 5>at the Future Chef's Kitchen in Roxbury.

95
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 4>I've been cooking ever since I was little. My mom's cuban,

96
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 4>so you know, food is a big.

97
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Cart of our life. This is an after school program

98
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 5>that challenges chefs to be to come up with new

99
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 5>menu items, taste test them all summer, and culminate a

100
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 5>culinary experience every year.

101
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>This is the fourth pop up.

102
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 5>Executive director Mark Dacruz tells me everything from some spring

103
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 5>rolls to Barry Hovnarow chicken sandwich to leachy lemonade.

104
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, some fresh salad, berry salads. Really

105
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>global summerfusion is inspiration.

106
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 5>The kitchen also takes pre orders online and.

107
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 4>It gives you an insight at how it would need

108
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 4>to work in an actual restaurant.

109
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 5>It's really cool from Roxbury. J Willett WBZ, Boston's news radio.

110
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 1>If the weather cooperates, We're a week away now from

111
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>the peak of the percy At meteor Shower. The annual

112
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>shower started last month and continues until August twenty third peak,

113
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>though according to the folks at NASA, August twelfth into

114
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth, the person had frequently leave long wakes of

115
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>light and colored behind them as they streak through the

116
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Earth's atmosphere. Of course, no clouds is a good thing,

117
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and the darker the better if you can find it.

118
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>You can still see them now brightest in a week gone.

119
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>But not forgotten are days on the Moon. Oh and Aussie,

120
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>as you know, a trip back to the Moon for

121
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>mankind has been planned. Perhaps a base there too someday.

122
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 1>But there's a big question. Where would the power come from.

123
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>NASA appears to have found an atomic answer.

124
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 6>Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy is set to announce the

125
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 6>agency as fast tracking plans to build a nuclear reactor

126
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 6>on the Moon. Documents obtained by Politico reveal NASA will

127
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 6>solicit proposals for a one hundred kilowatt nuclear reactor that

128
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 6>would launch to the lunar surface by twenty thirty. NASA

129
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 6>has made returning to the Moon and establishing a lasting

130
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 6>human presence there a top priority. Power is key to

131
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 6>building bases, supporting crews, and staying long term, And with

132
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 6>fourteen days of darkness on the Moon each month, solar

133
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 6>power won't cut it.

134
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>That is ABC's Andrew Dimbert. You are now in the loop.
