Speaker 1: This is w BZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Speaker 2: Eighty two degrees in Boston right now. It is four o'clock.
Speaker 2: It feels more like eighty seven when you walk outside.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a hot one. Look at the
Speaker 2: forecast coming up. I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. Take
Speaker 2: your cliche, but either way, the next few days are
Speaker 2: just going to be kind of uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: From South Dakota down to Mississippi. From Mississippi to Massachusetts,
Speaker 3: we're dealing with widespread summer heat sizzling across the area,
Speaker 3: as well as allowing for more heat advisories as well.
Speaker 2: Now as CBS News Boston meteorologist Jason Michael that heat
Speaker 2: advisory up for most of the state except for the
Speaker 2: Capan Islands and the Berkshires till eight o'clock on Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: Much more in the forecast coming up in a matter
Speaker 2: of minutes. A Boston federal judge has now blocked the
Speaker 2: Trump administration from cutting medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. ABC
Speaker 2: Stephen Portnoy says this funding move is part of the
Speaker 2: president's spending bill.
Speaker 4: The massive tax policy bill included a provision that was
Speaker 4: written to prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving any federal Medicaid
Speaker 4: funds even when abortions aren't provided. In ordering the funds
Speaker 4: to keep flowing, Massachusetts based federal Judge Indira Telwani says
Speaker 4: the new law likely violates the Constitution in three ways,
Speaker 4: first by stepping on Planned Parenthood's First Amendment rights, second
Speaker 4: by violating the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment,
Speaker 4: and thirdly by amounting to an unconstitutional bill of attainder,
Speaker 4: the kind of law that singles out an entity for punishment.
Speaker 2: Judge Tallwani says patients are likely to suffer adverse health
Speaker 2: effects when care is disrupted. Overseas, President Trump announcing a
Speaker 2: new trade deal with the European Union. The leaders of
Speaker 2: the EU mixed on their reaction. Here, CBS's Jason.
Speaker 5: Brooks the trade deal with the EU lowers the tariff
Speaker 5: on European imports in the US from thirty to fifteen percent,
Speaker 5: and that would be a big help for automakers who've
Speaker 5: been dealing with a twenty seven and a half per
Speaker 5: cent tariff. With Volkswagon last week reporting that tariff's cost
Speaker 5: it one and a half billion dollars in the first
Speaker 5: half of this year. The EU also agreed to buy
Speaker 5: seven hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of US energy,
Speaker 5: and as a result of that, shares are surging hire
Speaker 5: for liquefied natural gas companies, including Shaneer and Venture Global.
Speaker 2: Now the market's on Wall Street disclosing for the day,
Speaker 2: the Dow Jones losing just about two tenths of a percent,
Speaker 2: the SMP five hundred, Nasdaq up a bit. We'll get
Speaker 2: more coming up in Bloomberg Business at four oh eight,
Speaker 2: But at four two, new data shows only three communities
Speaker 2: here in Massachusetts meet national staffing standards when it comes
Speaker 2: to their fire departments. The Globe reports the Professional Firefighters
Speaker 2: of Massachusetts recently did a staffing survey after the deadly
Speaker 2: fire at a Fall River assisted living home. They found
Speaker 2: only Boston, Brookline, and New Bedford met the standard set
Speaker 2: by the National Fire Protection Association. That standard requires four
Speaker 2: on duty members at a minimum for each engine. They say,
Speaker 2: on average, here in Massachusetts, each engine only has about
Speaker 2: two and a half firefighters, ladders only have about two.
Speaker 2: Union President Rich McKinnon's as a major contributor here is
Speaker 2: our big budget cuts to public safety On the local level,
Speaker 2: like fire and ems response. We are certainly feeling the
Speaker 2: heat and humidity out there across the Commonwealth. If you're
Speaker 2: by the water, we have nice breeze coming off the
Speaker 2: water at about ten fifteen miles an hour, so it's
Speaker 2: not as oppressively hot as it could be and as
Speaker 2: it is on the inland side of things. But we
Speaker 2: have a heat advisory up until eight o'clock on Wednesday
Speaker 2: night except for the Capan Islands and the western part
Speaker 2: of the Berkshires. That's because we have this very sticky weather.
Speaker 2: The humidity is rather high, back to oppressive levels. You
Speaker 2: do the math here, and tonight we're only getting down
Speaker 2: to about seventy five on the coast and mid to
Speaker 2: upper sixties for inland suburbs. We have clear skies, so
Speaker 2: that's a plus, but that makes it really tough sleeping weather.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the ac is still kicking and doing okay for tomorrow,
Speaker 2: sun and clouds, very hot and humid, could hit record
Speaker 2: highs tomorrow. We have a high record of ninety seven
Speaker 2: in Boston that was set back in nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 2: We will be feeling like one hundred plus for most
Speaker 2: of the afternoon because of that humidity, so we'll keep
Speaker 2: an eye on that. And again that heat advisory means
Speaker 2: if you're sensitive to the heat, definitely take it easy tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Spend as much time inside as you can. For Tomorrow
Speaker 2: night warm and humid, with some patchy clouds alone near
Speaker 2: seventy two in Boston, sixties if you're inland. Then Wednesday
Speaker 2: another hot one, and we've got some strong storms coming
Speaker 2: through later in the day and at night, and we
Speaker 2: have a high in the nineties. Real feels of about
Speaker 2: one hundred degrees. Ninety one in Sudbury right now, seventy
Speaker 2: eight in Rockport south of Boston, eighty seven in Bridgewater,
Speaker 2: and in Boston at four oh six it is partly
Speaker 2: cloudy eighty one degrees and it feels more like eighty six. Well,
Speaker 2: life is certainly stressful at times. Some people west Boston
Speaker 2: are dancing it out.
Speaker 1: It's eleven pm in Newton. The streets are quiet, but
Speaker 1: inside this unmarked storefront with curtained off windows, we're trumping.
Speaker 1: Maybe you even get involved. Crump. That's crash with a cave.
Speaker 1: The guy who invited me here and this is his brother,
Speaker 1: big rip to uplift on each other. Kingdom, radically, uplifting,
Speaker 1: mighty praise. That's what CRUMP stands for. As for what
Speaker 1: it looks like, hey I look crazy, lots of stomping,
Speaker 1: punching the air, pumping your chest. You would think whatever,
Speaker 1: but we're healing, healing culturally but also personally.
Speaker 3: And one day they'll come into sad or crying or something.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yo, it's up, and they're yobrogen need
Speaker 1: the dance. I'm like, turn out, who's going. I'm with
Speaker 1: you Because we don't always have the words to tell
Speaker 1: our story, but we always have body language. And yes,
Speaker 1: I tried it.
Speaker 4: I didn't think it was going to be good.
