00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 2>than we have the past few days. That's because a

17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 3>Well.

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 2>President Biden touching down in Germany just in time to

19
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>react to the news on the death of Yaya sinhwar

20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.519

21
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>was killed by Israeli defense forces, and we're learning the

22
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>President immediately had spoken to Israeli leadership.

23
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>The White House says in a readout of their phone

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.480

25
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>on the mission that killed Hamas leader Yajya Sinhwar. The President,

26
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>upon his arrival in Germany, told reporters Sinhwar had a

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of blood on his hands American, Israeli and others.

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>He said, now is the time to move on, to

29
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 1>reach a ceasefire and end the war and bring the

30
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>hostages home. The White House says the President and Netnyahu

31
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 1>spoke about how to use this moment to make all

32
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>of that happen. Karen Travers ABC News Washington.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the Al Smith charity dinner from New York, featuring a

36
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>roast of both candidates. Former President Donald Trump was there

37
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>while the Vice president sent in a taped video.

38

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Who was that?

44
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess I just don't see the point they're taking

45
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 2>shots at myself when other people have been shooting at

46
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 2>me for a hell of a long time.

47
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Today's year former President Trump speaking at the Al Smith

50
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Really a pleasure anywhere in New York without a subpoena

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>for my appearance.

52
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Andrew Dinber for reporting well. Early voting here in

53
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts begins tomorrow. There will be at least one early

54
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>voting station in each community opened. If you go to

55
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the Secretary of Commonwealth's website, you can find yours. And

56
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>we're now in that final stretch before election day. Many

57
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>people are now complaining of election fatigued.

58
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 6>With less than three weeks until decision day, it's hard

59
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 6>to escape seeing posts about the election on social media,

60
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 6>and some people are ready for relief.

61
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>I think it's great for people to take a stand

62
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>and to have their opinions and have their opinions count,

63
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>but it is extremely overwhelming. Honestly, I'm very much ready

64
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 3>to not have it be everything that I'm saying.

65
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 5>Seeing people on Facebook arguing about like kind of pointless

66
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 5>topics and using it as a place to just like spew.

67
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 6>Hate Facebook and x where some of the apps people

68
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 6>mentioned they were avoiding altogether, but not everyone is feeling

69
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 6>the doom and gloom on social media. And here is

70
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 6>counting down the days until she can vote early at

71
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 6>Boston City Hall. I'm not tired.

72
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm like looking forward to the election.

73
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 5>So hopefully people aren't tuning out and thinking it's like

74
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 5>a done deal.

85
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of sunshine, we kick things off almost closer to eighty

86
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>degrees north and west of Boston as we begin next week.

87
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 2>So we are in quite a nice little warming trend,

88
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to ride it all the way through

89
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, starting into next week. And it is late October.

90
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Remember right now in Boston, we're at forty five degrees

91
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>here with clear skies. It is six oh six on

92
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>WBZ News Radio. Well, Boston businesses are getting ready to

93
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of a rare opportunity. Hundreds of new liquor

94
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>licenses will soon be available.

95
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 7>We move and lose this place. Business owners like Dimitrius

96
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 7>came out to an informational meeting with help from the

97
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 7>city applying for new liquor licenses. A recent bill signed

98
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 7>by the governor paves the way for two hundred and

99
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 7>twenty five new licenses over three years. Abigail Fiery with

100
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 7>Boston Small Business Unit tells me this is a once

101
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 7>in a lifetime chance, and we are trying to peel away,

102
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 7>make it transparent, make sure we're reaching the right people.

103
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 7>They're holding a series of these talks, especially in neighborhoods

104
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 7>where pricey licenses have been largely out of reach. This

105
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 7>is the kind of thing that could move people from

106
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 7>into the middle class that haven't been there in Hyde Park,

107

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>ZHO seven. From Boats to Bikes, a new study looking

119
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>at just how many lives could have been saved if

120
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>more motorcycle riders wore helmets.

121
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 5>Erk TiO from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says

122
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 5>there were more than one hundred ninety three thousand motorcycle

123
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.120
<v Speaker 5>deaths from nineteen seventy six to twenty twenty two. In

124
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 5>a new report, IIHS estimates more than twenty two thousand

125
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 5>lives could have been saved if every state required all

126
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 5>riders to wear a helmet.

127
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 7>Helmet was that cover all riders, not just ones of

128
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 7>certain ages, are the most effective way to increase helmet use.

129
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 5>IIHS found in states with all rider laws, helmet use

130
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 5>was typically two to three times higher than in states

131
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 5>without those laws. Chris Van Cleeve, CBS News.
