00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Mostly clear in Boston. Right now, it is seventy six

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>degrees at eleven o'clock and you have made it to Friday.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining us. I'm Nicole Davis, and here's what's happening.

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Watching breaking news into the WBZ news room. The Suffolk

6
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>County sheriff has now been indicted on federal charges. Let's

7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>get the very latest from wbz's Ben Parker Sureff.

8
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Tompkins is charged with extortion involving the purchase of

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>an equity interest in a Boston based cannabis company. A

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven year old sheriff was indicted by a federal

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>grand jury on two counts of extortion under color of

12
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>official right. He was taken into custody this morning in

13
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the Southern District of Florida and eventually we'll appear in

14
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>federal court in Boston at a later date. Tompkins is

15
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>alleged to have extorted fifty thousand dollars from the owner

16
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of a national cannabis retailer seeking to do business in Boston.

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 1>US Attorney Leah Foley says elected officials, particularly those in

18
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement are expected to be ethical, honest, Laura Biding

19
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>not self serving. His alleged actions, she says, are an

20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>affront to the voters and taxpayers who elected him to

21
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>his position, and to many dedicated and honest public servants

22
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>at the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department. Ben Parker WBZ, Boston's

24
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>News at eleven oh one. Some cancer patients in England

25
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>are reporting miraculous results from a trial using mRNA technology.

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>But it's the same technology that the FEDS recently stopped

27
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>funding for. Here CBS's Vicki Barker.

28
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 3>This patient has been pronounced cancer free two years after

29
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 3>he was told his case was hopeless.

30
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 4>They gave me a future, they gave me hope, and

31
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 4>I am living my best life now.

32
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 3>The trials now being expanded across the National Health Service

33
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 3>in England, using mRNA technology to retrain each patient's immune system,

34
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>focusing for now on patients whose head and neck cancers

35
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 3>have spread, but it's hoped many other cancers will eventually

36
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 3>be treated, even cured this way. Vicki Barker, CBS News, London.

37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Braintree little league players are on their way to the

38
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Little League World Series. What a night last night. Here's

<v Speaker 2>wbz's Jim McKay.

40
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 5>Here it comes to.

<v Speaker 6>Soley to Solis's homebody staring an.

42
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 5>It's going to wam Fort.

43
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 6>Call last night on ESPN from Bristol, Connecticut, a dramatic

44
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 6>play at the plate as Braintree steals home on a

45
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 6>pass ball and extra innings to beat Bedford New Hampshire

46
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 6>three to two and eight innings. Braintree takes home the

47
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 6>New England regional title for the first time ever. And

48
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 6>we'll represent New England at the Little League World Series

49
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 6>in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Their first game is this upcoming Thursday

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 6>at three o'clock, taking on the Southeast Region. All games

51
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 6>will be broadcast on ESPN. Jim McKay WBZ Boston's News Radio.

52
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Now, there's a preseason football game in Foxborough tonight, but

53
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of attention is focused not so much on

54
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the game, but more on a giant veiled statue hidden

55
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>underneath a deep blue sheet over to let sits the

56
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>new bronze Tom Brady Statue. This is about to be

57
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>unveiled before the game tonight against the Washington Commanders. Both

58
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Number twelve and Robert Craft are going to be there

59
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>for the ceremony, and reports do say that Brady hasn't

60
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>seen this yet, so it's going to be surprised for

61
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>all of us. If you can't make it to that game,

62
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you can also watch the ceremony on the Patriots website.

63
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>It is eleven oh four. Looking over at the forecast

64
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>for the next few days, it is going to be

65
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal outside. We have nothing but sun. All that wildfire

66
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>smoke is out of our neck of the woods now

67
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>we have moved on from that for the time being,

68
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and really looking ahead for the rest of the day,

69
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be very quiet, mostly sunny. We have

70
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>a high in the mid to upper seventies if you're

71
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>right on the coast, eighty five inland, and then tonight

72
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>clear skies with a lone near sixty in Boston. Fifties

73
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>if you're in the suburbs. Then for the weekend, of course,

74
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>we have to know what it's like at the beach

75
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and so on and so forth. Plenty of sun for tomorrow,

76
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>high near seventy five on the coast, mid eighties inland,

77
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>mostly sunny. On Sunday a little bit more with a

78
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 2>high in the mid to upper eighties and looking closer

79
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to eighty right on the Capan Islands. Then as we

80
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>move into Monday, it's going to be very sunny, but

81
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the humidity is going to start creeping back up, and

82
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>we have highs again in the low to mid nineties.

83
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>So a hot stretch is coming our way in a

84
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>matter of days. Seventy six degrees in Easton, where it's

85
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>seventy five in Hudson, seventy eight in Boxford, and in

86
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Boston at eleven oh five it is clear outside, gorgeous

87
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>blue skies and seventy six degrees.

88
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 6>Well.

89
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>The state's sales tax holidays this weekend, but not everybody's

90
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>too excited about it. Here's wbz's James Rohas.

91
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 5>There's a long list of things that will be exempt

92
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 5>from the six point twenty five percent sales tax, things

93
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 5>like shoes, school supplies, furniture, sporting goods, and electronics. But

94
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 5>not everyone is enticed by the guarantee of saving money.

95
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no it doesn't, because you know, I already have

96
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>all those things already, so it's nothing for me.

97
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Then there are some who are just sour over the

98
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 5>idea of the whole thing.

99
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>If they should basically knock it off. You know, with

100
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 3>the taxes, we get tax way too much.

101
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 4>It's here, but I'm not gonna go crazy for it

102
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 4>because i can just drive right over the border.

103
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah sor right. So clearly not for everybody, but saving

104
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 5>any amount of money this weekend could be a big

105
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 5>deal for those in need of a big deal in Metford.

106
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 5>James Rojas, WBZ, Boston, SNOOS Radio.

107
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Israel's Security Cabinet has now approved plans to take over

108
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Gaza City. The decision stops short here of seizing control

109
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of the entire territory. That is what Israeli Prime Minister

110
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Netanya, who is pushing for here. CBS's Tina Krause.

111
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 7>Families of hostages still held by Hamas, protested outside Netanyahu's

112
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 7>office in Chains, saying Israel's expanding military offensive puts their

113
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 7>loved ones in even more danger. The UN warns a

114
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 7>complete military takeover would risk catastrophic consequences for hostages and

115
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 7>Palestinian civilians. The Security Cabinet also adopted five princes for

116
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 7>ending the war, including disarming Hamas, returning all hostages living

117
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 7>and dead, demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, Israel maintaining security control

118
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 7>and the establishment of a civilian government that's not controlled

119
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 7>by either Hamas or the Palestinian authority.

120
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Hamas has condemned the plan, calling in a quote, full

121
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>fledged war crime that they say will come at a

122
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>high cost. And a new feature on Instagram is causing

123
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>some concern and confusion among users.

124

125

<v Speaker 4>a select group of friends, rolled out this week, but

126
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 4>it did have some users worrying about privacy and security.

127
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 4>The head of Instagram is clarifying that you do have

128

<v Speaker 4>to opt into this feature. It will not automatically share

129

<v Speaker 4>your location. Your location will only be shared if you
