News sixty eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. The Department of Justice
doesn't have much time left if they want to build
a case against former FBI director James call Mey. Details
from CBS's Stacy Lynn.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
The President says he lied to Congress in twenty twenty
about Russian election interference.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I
gave in May of twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
But after urging his attorney general to bring.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
On the case, I have no idea what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:46):

Speaker 2 (00:55):
President Trump says he may lift sanctions on Turkey. That
says he wants the Turkish president to cut off business
with Russia. Details on that from ABC's Karen Traffs sitting.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Side by side in the Oval Office. Thursday, President Trump
put public pressure on Turkey's president Erduwan stop buying Russian
oil as a way to put a squeeze on President Putin.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
The best thing he could do is not buy spoiling
gas from Russia.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If he did that, that would be probably the best thing.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He knows Putin like I know.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Putin asked if he would increase sanctions on Russia even
if all NATO countries didn't stop purchasing Russian oil. The
President said only quote, We're going to see about that.
Karen Travers, ABC News. The White House the.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Justice Department suing six states they say they've refused to
turn over statewide voter registration lists. The suits were filed
against top election officials in New Hampshire, California, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York, and Pennsylvania. Attorney General Penbondi says every state
has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate,
accessible and secure. Election officials have been asked to provide names,
(01:57):
birth dates, and other data on voters. It's been nearly
two years since Samas attacked Israel, an attack that led
Israel to respond with war. Now, the Palestinian Authority president
has presented a list of demands for his country to
move forward.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
President Makamuda Bass says the Palestinian Authority will cooperate with
the US and other countries on a plan for what
he calls a just peace with democratic reforms. That's if
Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state. A boss has
heard here through an interpreter.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Peace cannot be achieved if justice is not achieved, and
there can be no justice if Palestine is not freed.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
A boss says, Palestinians will not leave their homelands. Quote.
Our people will remain rooted like the olive trees, Peter
King's CBS News.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There are multiple reports out today that the Patriots are downsizing,
at least when it comes to ownership. Under an NFL
private equity policy. The team plans to sell eight percent
of the franchise. Robert Kraft and his family have held
all of the team's ownership since buying it for just
one hundred and seventy million dollars. A little more than
that actually in nineteen ninety four. Patriots now value that
(03:04):
some nine billion dollars. This will all be subject to
NFL owners at their upcoming meeting next month. We've had
a bit of rain today. That may be an understatement.
We had some pretty heavy downpours. Certainly earlier today. South
coast South Shores gotten some heavy rain. Everybody's gotten a
little bit of heavy rain, just a little heavier than others.
There have been some flooding concerns, but no major problems.
(03:26):
Just some of those poor drainage areas streets that don't
drain properly have seen a bit of a problem with
big puddles. We may be out of the woods on
that now as the rain is still heavy in spots,
but it's going to start to fade, and we do
have some openings in the precipitation all breaking up out
into western mass back down into Connecticut. So there's a
light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately you won't
(03:47):
see that light till tomorrow when the sun breaks out.
Some heavier rain showers just to the east of Worcester,
so along the four ninety five stretch out toward the
Marlborough and Westboro area. There've been some heavier showers out
of north central Massachusetts as well, and even closer to town.
We've got a few pockets of heavier precipitation out toward
the one twenty eight belt around Deadham and need them
(04:09):
and Wellesley. We'll continue to watch this, but most of
this is just going to keep pushing off to the
east and eventually get on out of here. So later tonight,
just a couple of leftover showers sixty seven for the
low temperature. Clouds will break for some sun It'll be
warmer tomorrow. That's that light at the end of the tunnel.
By the way that I mentioned. The temperature is tomorrow
about eighty with that sunshine, and then lots of light
at the end of the tunnel on Saturday and Sunday,
(04:30):
plenty of sunshine. Not terribly warm, but fall like first
weekend to fall after all, low to mid seventies. Right now,
it is sixty seven degrees in Boston. Over a dozen
shops taking part in a state wide effort to stitch
together a community. Wbz's Jay Willette with details.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
There's bar crawls and then there's the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Shoppers, knitters, crocheers, fiber enthusiasts go from every store and
they get stamps for a past pour.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's just like a fun way to brought in your
knitting community.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
The Boston Fiber Company in the South End is taking
part among fifteen shops. Owner Sarah Engel says it's about
knitters finding a new space to go spool shopping. I
got a lot of stuff for sweaters. You may have
heard about it on New England Weekend and here it
is from now until Sunday. This tight knit community can
surf around the shops and get a passport stamp at
each At the end of the line, what's the reward.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Depending on how many places you go. You can be
entered into a drawing for a gift card and you
get a gift card wallet. So it's gift cards from
every shop.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
In the South End. Jay will EDBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think a lot of people think I do knitting.
They keep calling me a knit wit. I don't know
what that means. If a picture of pants a thousand words,
you're going to need five pictures to keep up with
Merriam Webster. Their collegiate dictionary is getting five thousand new words,
and it's about time.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This twelfth edition is the first update of the hard
copy book in twenty two years. The new words include.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Doomscroll, dash cam, adulting, side I, and dumb phone.
Speaker 1 (06:01):

or an Internet browser. The new dictionary weighs in at
five pounds. Merion Webster says it still sells one and
a half million copies a year. It says some people
just love books. The new version will be released November eighteenth.
