4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 2>We have a fantastic forecast through Monday. We're going to

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>be seeing eighty degrees in spots. Apparently that's coming up.

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>But first, I'm Laurie Kirby. We start with a homicide

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>investigation because last night there was a deadly shooting a

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Mission Hill. Boston Police called to Craftson's Way and Huntington

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Avenue just after nine thirty pm. They found a man

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital

11
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 2>but pronounced dead there. This is a very active investigation

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>so far, no arrest. The victim's name has not been released.

13
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Also today, and this broke a little while ago, Commas

14

<v Speaker 2>confirming the death of its leader, yah Yah Sinnoi the

15
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>hands of Israeli forces. This this week, US Intelligence providing

16
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 2>some critical information as well. Apparently, according to Jake Sullivan,

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the group says it will still not release any more

18
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>hostages until Israel withdraws from Gaza and agrees on a

19
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire deal. ABC's Karen Travers with the.

20
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Very latest President Biden in Germany said the death of

21
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>the Hamas leader represents justice.

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the blood of Americans and Israelis, Palestinians and Germany

23
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 4>and so many others.

24
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 3>On his hand, the White House is optimistic that Sinwar's

25
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 3>death will mark a turning point in the process toward

26
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 3>reaching a ceasefire deal to get the remaining hostages released,

27
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 3>saying Sinwar was the major obstacle to getting it done.

28
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 3>The President, on his phone call with Benjamin Nett.

29
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 4>Yahoo, I told the Prime Minister Divisional yesterday, let's also

30
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 4>make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace.

31
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Karen Travers ABC News Washington.

32
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>And from the gravitas of that situation to something a

33
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit comedic. In fact, the seventy ninth Anuel Al's

34
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Mith's Dinner pits both sides of the presidential race against

35
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>one another in a battle of comedic wit. ABC's Andrew

36
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Dimberg reports both candidates came out swinging, even though one

37
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>declined to attend in person.

38
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 5>Trump also criticizing Vice President Harris for not attending the

39
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 5>fundraiser in person.

40
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Which is deeply disrespectful to the event and in particular

41
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 4>to our great Catholic community.

42
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 5>Harris addressed the event in a video featuring Molly Shannon

43
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 5>portraying her Saturday Night Live character Mary Catherine Gallagher.

44
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Is there anything that you think that maybe I shouldn't

45
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 4>bring up tonight?

46
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, don't lie.

47
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Vou shalt not bear false witness to thy neighbor.

48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 7>Indeed, especially thy neighbor's election results.

49
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And later today, both Vice President Harrison former President Trump

50
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>will be campaigning in the state of Michigan.

51
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 8>ABC's Mary Alice parks with more on the campaign or.

52
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 7>President Trump has promised to roll back support for electric

53
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 7>car vehicles has really gone after the Biden Harris administration

54
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 7>for the green energy is sort of climate change initiatives.

55
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 7>On the other hand, when I was on the ground there,

56
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 7>Harris really leaning into the support that she has from

57
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 7>the big auto worker unions. They held signs at her

58
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 7>events sayings for the union strong. The union leaders really

59
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 7>bashing Trump for comments that he made recently seeming to

60
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 7>sort of disparage unions, disparage union worker protections.

61
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 8>Here in Massachusetts, early in person voting begins tomorrow, and
