<v Speaker 3>Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer us some real deals,

22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 3>but Giving Tuesday offers us the chance to focus on

23
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 3>what matters most, and that's community. That's why Danny from

24
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Boston looks to give back to the younger generation. For me,

25
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 3>it's things I have a connection to. So the students

26
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 3>are student employees with me, and then they have causes

27
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 3>that they have a reportant of them, So I just

28
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 3>want to make sure that I help them out. They

29
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 3>is hoping people will keep a youth sports in mind.

30
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 4>There's like kids that want to play sports that can

31
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 4>because they don't have the equipment that they need or

32
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 4>their families like don't have the money to get the

33
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 4>stuff that they need.

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 3>Now, many will donate money to local nonprofits and charities,

35
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 3>but time is also a precious commodity to give and

39
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.360

40
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 5>Cyber Monday remains the biggest online shopping day of all time.

41

<v Speaker 5>In the peak hours of eight pm to ten pm,

42
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.960

43
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 5>the research firm Adobe Analytics. Shoppers took advantage of bigger

44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 5>than expected discounts and categories such as electronics, toys, clothing, TVs,

45
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 5>and computers. Discounts were roughly between twenty and thirty percent.

46

57
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.639

<v Speaker 2>up to thirty seven degrees and Beverly North Shore just

60
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>his thirty four degrees. Now tonight, starlit very chilly if

61
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>you're going out for a walk. We still have that

62
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>cold wind. It's not a gusty breeze, but it's got

63
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>a bite. Twenty seven are low in Boston and cooler elsewhere.

64
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>So tomorrow no snow yet. It's tomorrow night into Thursday. Hey,

65
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>what are we talking about? Wet snow? Primarily if you're

66
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>north and west of Boston, you might have an inch

67
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>of snow two inches max, and the rest of us

68
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>might be seeing really some slushy stuff that could be

69
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>messy but will likely wash away. It's eleven oh five

70
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and oversees an alarming change on the peninsula. Police officers

<v Speaker 2>clashing with demonstrators in the streets of South Korea, Chaos

72
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.720

73
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>party in control of parliament of insurgency.

74
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 6>South Korean President Yusuk Yiel has just a clare of

75
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 6>martial law, pledging to eliminate what he's calling anti state forces.

76
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 6>Un has struggled to implement his agenda with parliament controlled

77
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 6>by the liberal opposition, whom he accuses of sympathizing with

78
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 6>North Korea. But even the leader of his own conservative

79
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 6>party is calling the declaration of martial law wrong, and

80
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 6>the opposition leader, who narrowly lost to Yun in the

81
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty two presidential election, is calling UN's annnouncement illegal

82
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 6>and unconstitutional. Vicky Barker, CBS News London.

84
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the Pentagon is in the hot seat. ABC's Rachel Scott

85
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>reports that Pete Hegseith is now facing fresh allegations of

86
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>both financial mismanagement and sexual misconduct.

00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>According to The New Yorker, hegsth was forced to step

88
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>down from leading two conservative veteran groups in part because

89
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>of accusations of mismanaging funds and abusing alcohol while on

96
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Heg Scith denies the allegations. First she gave up her restaurants,

97
00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>now she's foregoing her personal possessions. Award winning chef Barbara

102
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>the City of Boston over unpaid property taxes. And this

103
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>was the latest tumble in the famous chef's fall from

104
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>grace after allegations that she fostered a toxic work environment
