<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for joining us. I'm Jim McKay

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and here's what's happening. Well, we all know it is

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the dog days of summer, but we're trying to say

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>goodbye to that muggy weather, even if it's just for

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 2>a day. We've got it on this Friday, clearing out

10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 2>with much more comfortable air race weather.

11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 3>We'll finish out the work weekend, start us off into

12
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 3>the weekends.

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>And that is WBZ ACI weather meteorologist Heather's air shaped

14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>up to be pretty good Saturday, and then it looks

15
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>like that heat's going to return on Sunday. We'll have

16
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>more on that in the four day forecast coming up.

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>But first, at six p'inho one, a showdown in Alaska.

18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>President Trump set to depart the White House at about

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>forty five minutes, getting ready for a long flight to

20
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Alaska to hold a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>A hope that progress can be made in Russia's invasion

22
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>of Ukraine despite the lack of Ukrainian representation.

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 1>The negotiations will not be easy. This is going to

24
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 1>be tough going for President Trump. Beth Noble is a

25
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 1>professor at Fordham University in the former Moscow bureauchy for

26
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>CBS News. She knows firsthand that Putin is a skilled negotiator.

27
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>Seen him be very charming President Putin, and I have

28
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>seen him be very very tough President Putin, adding, whichever

29
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 1>one shows up, President Trump would be well advised to

30
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>be on his guard about everything that President Putin has

31
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to say. Linda Kenyon, CBS News the White House.

32
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 2>And that meeting gets under way at three o'clock this afternoon.

33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 2>The two leaders are expected to have a joint news

34
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>conference after the summit. Of course, full coverage all day

35
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>on WBZ news radio and the iHeartRadio app at six

36
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>ZHO two. They are still alive, but it was a

37
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>rough story for those Brainchtree Little leaguers. Their first game

38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>of the Little League World Series on Thursday, they lost

39
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>thirteen to nothing to a very tough South Carolina team.

40
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>It is, however, double elimination, though so the play again

41
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday against Richmond, Texas. It's winner go home the

42
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. To make it to the championship game,

43
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>they would need to win five games in a row

44
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>over the course of six days. Market Basket officially secured

45
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>a civil restraining order against two former executives. Somebody thinks

46
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>that either mister Gordon or myself were just going to

47
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>go away at this point is solely mistaken.

48
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 3>That sound from just a few weeks ago is Firetop

49
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 3>execs Tom Gordon and Joe Schmidt slam the board outside

50
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 3>of Market Basket and now so.

51
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to allow the injunction.

52
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Allw Superior Court judge says the parent needs to stay away.

53
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 3>The company says they visited more than twenty stores, harassing

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 3>employees and kept at it despite being told several times

55
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>to stay off the property.

56
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>That statement to them was clear and unequivocal.

57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 3>Schmidd and Gordon are key allies of ousted CEO Arthur T.

58
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 3>De Mulis. As a power struggle can continues to play out.

59
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Their lawyer argued employees let them in and wanted them there.

60
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 3>The judge said he doesn't think they were trying to

61
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 3>harm the business, but on its face, it's not a

62
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 3>good look. Madison Rogers w b Z, Boston's news radio.

63
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>And a spokesperson for Arthur T. Demoula, saying the order

64
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>is based on misconceptions, but they will respect it. Looks

65
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>like this forecast is shaping up to be pretty solid

66
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>here on this Friday. We're just getting our first glimpses

67
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>of that sunshine on this Friday morning. We've got a nice,

68
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>comfortable day ahead of us. We're looking at a projected

69
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>hive around seventy five degrees in Boston. You gotta be

70
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 2>a bit warmer as we head north and west of town,

71
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and then were mainly clear. Lows down around sixty three

72
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>degrees for tonight for your Saturday tomorrow sun much of

73
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>the day. Hies up around eighty degrees for tomorrow. So

74
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>again we're pretty comfortable in the beautiful starts of the weekend.

75
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Then by Sunday we could have some showers and thunderstorms

76
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 2>rolling in. We're gonna have highs up around ninety and

77
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to be one of those conditions where

78
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have heat on Sunday and it's going

79
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>to be sticking around. We're actually cooling off as we

80
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>begin next week. Right now, seventy one degrees with a

81
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>pretty nice sun rise Here in Boston. It is six

82
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>oh five, one of the world's richest men, giving local

83
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 2>health research a boost after it gets battered by funding cuts.

84
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Virtually every week we hear about more federal grant freezes

85
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 4>and cancelations and medical research around Boston. Now many local

86
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 4>orgs are getting some of that money back courtesy of

87
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 4>one Bill Gates.

88
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 5>And I think this is the opposite of what's going

89
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 5>on with the administration.

90
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Doctor ken Meyer is medical research director at Fenway Health.

91
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 4>The Gates Foundation gave the Queer Friendly Health provider two

92
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 4>hundred grand to do a series of papers and sexual

93
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 4>and reproductive health.

94
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 5>So the idea is to bring the best information together.

95
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 5>So to help help advance the field.

96
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Gates anuns a two point five billion dollar initiative to

97
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 4>help shore up women's health research, with millions of that

98
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 4>going to places in Boston. The doctor says, even Bill

99
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Gates can't do everything, but every little bit helps.

100
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 5>We've done a pretty good job of maintaining what we have.

101
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Now.

102
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 5>The concern is for the next three and a half

103
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 5>years about what the future of this kind of research.
