Speaker 1: you by your New England Toyota Dealer, your all wheel
Speaker 1: Drive headquarters. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm
Speaker 1: Jim McKay and here's what's happening. Well, we've got another
Speaker 1: hot one on tap. The dog days of summer are here,
Speaker 1: and we're going to be flirting with a heat wave
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: Up today with plenty of sunshine, eyes low to mid nineties,
Speaker 2: staying in the eighties and mere ninety for the CAEP
Speaker 2: in the island.
Speaker 1: That is wbz ACU weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg, and we
Speaker 1: continue to track these ninety degrade days and we're looking
Speaker 1: at also the air quality alerts that could also be
Speaker 1: going into effect today as it could get rather muggy
Speaker 1: out there in the midst of all of this heat.
Speaker 1: It's going to be very warm out there once again tomorrow. Well,
Speaker 1: we do have a tropical storm. Were also keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on Tropical Storm errand continues to form in the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: and there is the potential that it may advance into
Speaker 1: a Category one hurricane. If that is the case, that
Speaker 1: would be the first of the hurricane season. And right
Speaker 1: now it is tracking to be off the Cuban coastline
Speaker 1: somewhere around Friday night around eight o'clock. Is it going
Speaker 1: to affect the southeastern US. Well, we got to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on it, and we will for you right
Speaker 1: here on WVZ News Radio. Well, hundreds of National Guardsmen
Speaker 1: activated in the nation's capital, the President saying he is
Speaker 1: deploying National guardsmen in an effort to curb crime, the
Speaker 1: first time in American history that a president is seizing
Speaker 1: control of police in the nation's capital. ABC Stephen Portnoy
Speaker 1: with the tail.
Speaker 2: If you look at the statistics that have been compiled
Speaker 2: and reported by the DC police, he's wrong. Mayor of
Speaker 2: this city, Muriel Bowser, gave a news conference yesterday afternoon
Speaker 2: in which she said that crime in the city's actually
Speaker 2: at a thirty year low. Now. Mayor Bowser has tried to
Speaker 2: walk a careful line here because she knows that the
Speaker 2: President in the law, arguably along with Congress and the
Speaker 2: Constitution has extraordinary powers that he may still be keeping
Speaker 2: close to his chest.
Speaker 1: And protesters gathered outside the White House after the President's
Speaker 1: announcement yesterday denouncing the move to deploy the National Guard
Speaker 1: in DC. Well, we have new comments this morning from
Speaker 1: Ukrainian President rather Vladimir Zelensky about the upcoming summit between
Speaker 1: Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump, Zelensky saying that
Speaker 1: Russia is not interested in peace in Ukraine. In fact,
Speaker 1: they're planning new attacks. This taking place right before this
Speaker 1: upcoming summit in Alaska this Friday, between President Trump and
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. Well, the pot keeps on growing. No winner
Speaker 1: once again. And last night's powerball jackpot it's now up
Speaker 1: over a half billion dollars and then some. It currently
Speaker 1: stands at five hundred and twenty million dollars. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: that's two hundred and forty million dollars in cash, and
Speaker 1: of course those odds of winning roughly one and two
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two million. And right now we are
Speaker 1: looking at sunshine here on this Tuesday morning, just starting
Speaker 1: to come up here at daybreak, and again we have
Speaker 1: another beautiful morning out there. I know these afternoons they
Speaker 1: get so hot, but these nice warm summer mornings, get
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. If you're able to relax, you
Speaker 1: get a couple of days off. Got some real nice
Speaker 1: heat out there in the afternoon, but for the morning
Speaker 1: it is certainly nice and comfortable. We're at seventy four
Speaker 1: right now in Boston, and again we're kind of looking
Speaker 1: at some hazy skies here. Again we're talking about those
Speaker 1: air quality alerts. We could be triggering some this week,
Speaker 1: not any right now according to the National Weather Service,
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, we're climbing up into the mid nineties later
Speaker 1: on this afternoon. A bit more of that coastal breeze,
Speaker 1: we'll cool things off. If you're along the north South
Speaker 1: Shore Cape in the Islands for your Wednesday tomorrow sunshine
Speaker 1: and clouds once again works to be in the nineties
Speaker 1: if we get there, well, we've got ourselves a heat wave,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen for the first three days of this week.
Speaker 1: Then by Thursday, high of eighty two we could see
Speaker 1: a thunderstorm in the mix. A lot more comfortable Friday
Speaker 1: heading off into the weekend, as we could be back
Speaker 1: down in the mid to upper seventies. And right now
Speaker 1: we're looking at an outstanding weekend, but we've got a
Speaker 1: bit of a ways to go here seventy four degrees
Speaker 1: starting to see sunshine. It is sixh six now on

Speaker 2: So first, the most important thing, you said, ready to
Speaker 2: go to school.
Speaker 3: Waltham Mayor Jeanette MacCarthy was on hand for the event
Speaker 3: at the Salvation Army's Community Center on Myrtle Street. Volunteers
Speaker 3: stood behind tables handing out all sorts of school supplies, books, backpacks, notebooks.
Speaker 3: Salvation Army Captain Justin Barter.
Speaker 4: Being able to see all these people come, both the
Speaker 4: volunteers who are here helping us serve the community and
Speaker 4: the local organizations who are really helping to make this
Speaker 4: event special, and then seeing all the phases of the
Speaker 4: people who are lined up ready to be served, is
Speaker 4: just such a blessing. Being able to know that they're

Speaker 3: Jeremy Ross WBZ Boston's news radio, and.
Speaker 1: It is now six oh seven on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Governor Mora Heally isn't jumping to any decisions about whether
Speaker 1: or not to call for Suffolk Sheriff Stephen Tompkins to
Speaker 1: resign after his Florida arrest, saying the accusations against him
Speaker 1: are certainly serious, but she needs more information. Tompkins is
Speaker 1: accused of extorting a cannabis retailer doing business in Boston.
Speaker 1: They're based out of Florida. He was released on bond
Speaker 1: on Friday, but he has to report to federal court
Speaker 1: in Boston for an upcoming appearance this Friday at six
Speaker 1: seven on WBZ News Radio. Baylor versus Boston University. We're
Speaker 1: not talking about a ballgame, but rather a lawsuit. Baylor
Speaker 1: is suing Boston University over the school's use of their
Speaker 1: interlocking BU logo, saying it violates a design that Baylor
Speaker 1: had trademarked. The suit was filed at federal court in Texas,
Speaker 1: and Baylor is asking the court to require BU to
Speaker 1: destroy all goods, packaging, signing, advertising, and Internet postings regarding
Speaker 1: that logo and then want to recover any cost for
Speaker 1: the litigation and any future potential financial relief. It's even
Speaker 1: more bizarre. This isn't the first time this has happened,
Speaker 1: as Baylor took bu to court over this in the
Speaker 1: mid eighties. Back in nineteen eighty seven, and the two
Speaker 1: schools settled out of court.
Speaker 2: You are now in the loop for news updates throughout
Speaker 2: the day.
