Seventy three degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening right now in Texas.
President Trump and First Lady Malania Trump getting a first
hand look at the devastation from the historic floods in Kerrville.
At least one hundred and twenty people have been killed there,
dozens more remain missing. Right now. The President's speaking after
(00:24):
meeting with first responders and victims families, so all across
the country.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
American's heartsy h added, I had to be here as president.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
First Lady wanted to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All the beautiful souls, and we're filled with grief and devastation.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Is the loss of life, i'll The President has praised
the federal response to the disaster, despite calls to face
out FEMA. A deal for an accused that nine to
eleven mastermind has been tossed.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
A divided federal appeals panel has thrown out a deal
that would have allowed college Sheik Mohammad to plead guilty
and be spared the risk of execuscution. The decision undoes
a bid to end more than two decades of military prosecution.
Prosecutors and the Pentagon's top official for Guantanamo Bay approved
the deal last year, but then Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
(01:14):
rejected it. Defense lawyers argued the deal was already legally
in effect. A judge and a military appeals panel agreed,
but after more legal wrangling, the Federal Appeals Court has
found Austin acted within his authority and has thrown out
the deal. Sagur Magani at the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh is stepping down.
Walsh decided to step down for personal reasons after more
than four decades of leadership in the healthcare sector, but
will remain involved as an advisor to the Healey administration.
Governor Healey meantime, has appointed doctor Keyami Mahnaya to take over.
The doctor served for nearly all of Walsh's time in
(01:54):
office as Under Secretary of Health. With rising tariffs raising
the ire of many cut trees around the world, President
Trump is defending his decision to impose fifty percent trade
tariffs on imports from Brazil.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The tariffs against Brazil suggest politics rather than economics at play.
Speaking to reporters before heading to Texas, the presidents at
former Brazilian President Bolsonaro should not be on trial for
trying to overturn his election loss.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
YE treating President Bolsonaro very unfairly.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
The President considers Bolsonaro a personal friend.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
He's a very honest man.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Imposing fifty percent tariffs against Brazil seems contrary to the
President's stated policy of correcting trade imbalances, since the US
has a trade surplus with Brazil of more than seven
billion dollars. Lindy Kenyon CBS News the White.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
House concerns about Canadian tariffs sending the stock market lower
on this Friday. The Dow lost two hundred and seventy
nine points in both the S and P five hundred,
and Nasdaq fell so no records there. Today, another summer
weekend approaching and some three dozen Massachusetts beaches are closed.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health published their dashboard with
a list of beaches that have issues and following yesterday's
(03:03):
heavy rain, summer closed today in part because of water runoff.
Coming up on WBZA, a local ihop is getting a
shout out thanks to a Boston native who is now
a star. Still watching some of these showers around here
that could get into our Neck of the Woods over
a period of time. Still out in western mass out
(03:23):
around Northampton, we've got some showers and some downpours. Right
along the Eye ninety one corridor, there is a cell
that has slid its way down into Key, New Hampshire,
another one that's come out of Hillsboro, maybe landing in
Manchester shortly, and there's another one up toward the Brookline,
New Hampshire. These are moving a little bit east and
a little bit south, and so they could push into
(03:44):
Massachusetts a little bit later if they hold together. We
do have that instability of humidity in the air as
we go through the afternoon muggies. Tonight it's sixty eight
for the low clouds and some sunshine. Tomorrow seventy seven
in Boston, mid eighties Inland, and then Sunday pretty much
the same deal will be cooler over the Cape and
islands both to days and Monday. Some clouds, some sun,
some humidity, and maybe a thunderstorm as well. Right now,
(04:07):
it's seventy three in Boston. An actress from Dorchester who
has won many awards, is reflecting on her beginnings south
of Boston.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
On the Cone, and O'Brien needs a Friend podcast, The
Bear and Abbott. Elementary actress Iowa Debris says she was
emotional in the Randolph ihop, confessing to her parents that
she was switching majors from teaching to the arts.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
In the car and they're like like they're like are
you like like are you dying or like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Then I just started busting, like I burst.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Out crying and I was like, I'm so sorry, like
I changed my major with that tone. I'm gonna study
play writing like I want to pursue the arts.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And literally they're like eating like a like a short stack,
like could not could not care.
Speaker 4 (04:49):

and I feel like the moment that they could also
kind of start to brag.
