Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Speaker 1: Eighty five degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
Speaker 1: I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening bad. They say some
Speaker 1: like it hot and then some like in humid. Well,
Speaker 1: welcome to New England in the summerh the heat's on,
Speaker 1: and so here's the humidity. We've been porching ninety degrees.
Speaker 1: And yeah, with the humidity it feels even worse. Maybe
Speaker 1: some bonus wetness too.
Speaker 2: One thing we'll watch for into the afternoon is with
Speaker 2: the heat and humidity, we could bubble up and see
Speaker 2: a sprinkle here or there. But I think all things considered,
Speaker 2: it's a mainly dry day for most of us.
Speaker 3: That is CBS News Boston mediapologist Jacob wye Coop. There
Speaker 3: are a couple of showers out in the western part
Speaker 3: of the state. One is bubbled up around I ninety
Speaker 3: one out toward Sunderland, another one north of Bathol out
Speaker 3: along the Row Order. So we'll watch these as well.
Speaker 3: That heat advisory in effect until seven o'clock tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: At least it's got the stickies written all over it.
Speaker 3: We're hearing today from fire officials after a deadly fire
Speaker 3: and Fall River Sunday night. It killed nine people at
Speaker 3: an assisted living home. Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon
Speaker 3: praised firefighters for saving as many lives as they could
Speaker 3: and also addressed concerns raised by the union and lives
Speaker 3: were lost because of inadequate staffing at the fire department.
Speaker 4: I don't know if lies could have been saved or
Speaker 4: who to change the incident at all. I'm focusing my
Speaker 4: firefighters on the fifty plus lives that were saved at
Speaker 4: that incident based on their heroic efforts, and that's what
Speaker 4: I need to focus on for my mental health and
Speaker 4: their mental health to get through this.
Speaker 3: There's been no cause released in the fire at the
Speaker 3: Gabriel House, but authorities did say the cause does not
Speaker 3: appear to be suspicious at this time. Pink slips are
Speaker 3: coming for some workers at the US Department of Education
Speaker 3: now that the Supreme Court set aside lower court orders
Speaker 3: preventing layoffs. Hundreds of being shown the door. What might
Speaker 3: that mean for students and for schools.
Speaker 5: The Education Department doesn't direct curricula. States and school districts
Speaker 5: do that, but it does distribute an enormous amount of
Speaker 5: federal money, and it enforces civil rights laws. The Trump
Speaker 5: administration appears interested in spinning off various parts of the
Speaker 5: department to other agencies. Student loans, for instance, could be
Speaker 5: given over to Treasury. Aid for students with disabilities could
Speaker 5: become the responsibility of HHS. Many school administrators across the
Speaker 5: country are nervous about the ramifications, but White House allies
Speaker 5: argue the Education Department's bureaucracy is too bloated and it
Speaker 5: needs to be wound down.
Speaker 3: That is ABC's Stephen Portnoy. The United Nations says hundreds
Speaker 3: of Palestinians have been killed near aid sites run by
Speaker 3: a US and Israeli backed organization in Gaza.
Speaker 6: The need to be investigations in each and every killing.
Speaker 7: Tamine El Katana, the UN Human Rights Office, says the
Speaker 7: Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has bypassed traditional aid systems while the
Speaker 7: violence only grows.
Speaker 6: As of the thirteenth of July, we have recorded eight
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five people killed in Gaza while trying
Speaker 6: to get food. Six hundred and seventy four of them
Speaker 6: were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites.
Speaker 7: In the meantime, the UN says one in ten children
Speaker 7: in Gaza are malnourished.
Speaker 3: That is cbsys Kemmy McCormick. Health officials at the UN
Speaker 3: estimate that more than fourteen million children did not receive
Speaker 3: a single vaccine last year. The World Health Organization and
Speaker 3: UNICEF says about eighty nine percent of children under the
Speaker 3: age of one got a first dose of the diphtheriate
Speaker 3: tetnis and whooping cough in twenty twenty four, the same
Speaker 3: as a year earlier, and about eighty five percent completed
Speaker 3: a three dose series, up one tick from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: The heat advised me up until seven o'clock tomorrow, even
Speaker 3: Thursday evening, I should say, and we have just gotten
Speaker 3: word of an air quality alert in effect starting at
Speaker 3: eleven o'clock tomorrow morning from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
Speaker 3: It is kind of uncomfortable, sticky, unhealthy for sensitive groups
Speaker 3: of people as well. Now they're saying starting tomorrow morning,
Speaker 3: with that ground O zone level, we've got the heat
Speaker 3: and humidity in place. It's just an uncomfortable feel and
Speaker 3: some of the real field temperatures in the mid and
Speaker 3: upper nineties. As we head through each day of the week.
Speaker 3: This week, Tonight, it's not going to be overly comfortable,
Speaker 3: but it will be cooler seventy one if you like that,
Speaker 3: sunshine and a few clouds. Tomorrow is still humid, near
Speaker 3: ninety Thursday close to ninety. We may not make it,
Speaker 3: but will certainly feel like we're in the nineties most
Speaker 3: places with the humidity around. A couple of thunderstorms possible
Speaker 3: Thursday in the afternoon, same deal on Friday. Right now,
Speaker 3: it's eighty five degrees in Boston. Cars a ban from
Speaker 3: parking on the streets of Newton at night for half
Speaker 3: the year, and a couple of native Newtonians are trying
Speaker 3: to reverse that. W Busy's Heile Shaffle with the tails.
Speaker 8: Hitterclaves of Newton as a personal crusade that he's been
Speaker 8: fighting for years.
Speaker 9: It's illegal to park on the street between the hours
Speaker 9: of two am and six am from December first through
Speaker 9: April first.
Speaker 8: Newton's overnight parking band has been in force in one
Speaker 8: form or another for almost ninety years, but Peter wants
Speaker 8: this to be its last. He's co head of the
Speaker 8: growing campaign to overturn the van, which he says has
Speaker 8: become a major headache for many residents.
Speaker 9: Usually the people that you know don't don't have driveways
Speaker 9: and that don't have parking are the people that you
Speaker 9: know certainly won't be able to afford a twenty five
Speaker 9: dollars ticket.
Speaker 8: He says he's met dozens of people who have moved
Speaker 8: out of Newton because they have no place to put
Speaker 8: their car at night. Supporters of the ban argue it
Speaker 8: incentivizes taking public transit or bikes over owning a car,
Speaker 8: but Peter says it's unrealistic.
Speaker 9: The infrastructure is just not there yet for living a
Speaker 9: car free lifestyle.
