Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Ninety
eight degrees in Boston. It is four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
My goodness, it's a warm one. Thanks for joining us.
I'm Nicole Davis, and here's what's happening. We have officially
(00:22):
broken a heat record, the National Weather Service says, because
we got to ninety eight in Boston today, we have
broken the record of ninety seven that was set back
in nineteen thirty three. Providence also seeing record heat along
with Hartford. The Suure feels warmer than all this with
the heat index and the triple digits. And on a
daylight today, who wants to be at work? You just
want to go swim at the beach with.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The time stopping ninety across the map. Staying cool is
the name of the game. What's a swimming in the
cold water?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Your condition is helping?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, at Good Harbor Beach. Beating the heat looks like
dragging your chair to the perfect spot before attempting to
put up an umbrella without burning your toes in the sand.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Cooler right here, full of gatorade and water and enough
sunscreen to cover a family of five. That's it really.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Dan just drove forty minutes to get here though he's
actually from Greenfield, so the ride back is closer to
two and a half hours. Until then, he's just trying
to relax and ward off Sunburn City for like three
or four hours. That's key for us because if we're
here for ten hours, we'll fry. Others are also coming
from out of town, like Newton Brookline and this family
of five we live in Natick.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, so it's a lot hotter down there.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
They're celebrating their daughter's eleventh birthday, and Abby's got big
plans maybe like Boogie Boyd and you're going out to
the island in Gloucester. I'm a Friedman w b Z,
Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Other news we're watching. In four oh one, British Prime
Minister kir Starmer says the UK in September will recognize
a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly unless Israel
agrees to a lasting ceasefire and takes steps toward long
term peace. Jeremy Bowen is with the BBC.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
This is a big change in British foreign policy, this
decision to go ahead with recognition, because they will know
that it is vanishly unlikely that Israel will agree to
the conditions that Britain has put in there, which is
this progress towards a two state solution so far.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The Gaza Health Ministry says more than sixty thousand Palestinians
have been killed in the war between Israel and Hamas,
and the Crimson might soon roll out the green to
try to settle an ongoing dispute with the Trump administration.
Here's stopping. Abz's Jawallette.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Reports indicate Harvard Universities and talks with the White House
to potentially pay five hundred million dollars to settle a
civil rights lawsuit and aim to get federal research grant
money flowing again. The school has been in the crosshairs
of the President since the winter. He claims Harvard did
little to protect Jewish students from anti semitism on campus.
Compared to Columbia University's recent settlement, this one would be
(02:45):
more than double, and according to the original report from
The New York Times, Harvard is not so sure of
using an outside mediator like Columbia did. WBZ News Radio
has reached out to Harvard for comment. Jwalett WBZ Boston's
News Radio.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It is certainly a very hot and humid day out there,
and again it's a record breaking day out there with
temperatures in the upper nineties right now, feeling like triple
digits across most of the Commonwealth, and it's going to
stay hot and sticky into tonight. We have a load
just about sixty eight or so in the inland suburbs,
seventy five right on the coast, and we have this
(03:18):
heat advisory in effect until eight o'clock tomorrow night except
for the burk Shears and the Capan Islands because we
have highs again in the nineties for most of us
tomorrow ACTUL where the real field temperatures will be about
one hundred degrees on the coast and warmer if you're
away from the water now Tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening,
that's when things start to change. We have all this
hot and sticky weather and that means storms are going
(03:40):
to start to develop tomorrow night and we could possibly
see some severe storms coming out of this, with a
damaging wind, gus, flooding downpours, cloud to ground lightning, and
we will of course be watching the radar, watching the situation,
getting you updates as they come in right here on WBZ.
Thursday and Friday much cooler. We have some showers and
storm both days, and highs in the seventies at most.
(04:04):
Right now, ninety eight degrees in needam seeing ninety seven
in bill RICCA, south of Boston. It is ninety three
in Duxbury, and in Boston at four h five it
is partly cloudy and ninety eight degrees, but it feels
like one hundred and one. Investigators in New York are
trying to determine a motive behind the mass shooting in
a midtown Manhattan office tower. Four people were killed, one
(04:26):
person was hurt. Police are heading out to Las Vegas
trying to question a man they think supplied parts to
assemble the gun that was used in the attack.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
We do have the name of an individual in Nevada
who the gun was registered to. What happened there? These
are the questions Investigators I'm sure have already interviewed that
individual who was the legal owner of the gun. They've
already gotten a warrant for his residence. They're going through
his telephone, laptop looking for anyone else who might have
(04:55):
helped him carry out this crime.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Now report there CBS is on a scheckter now. New
York City Mayor Eric Adams say investigators believe the shooter,
identified as Shane Tomura, was trying to target the NFL
headquarters but got off on the wrong elevator. When he
took his own life. They say he left behind a
note asking to be evaluated for CTE. Lawyers for Gallaine
Maxwell say she will testify before Congress, but only under
(05:19):
certain conditions. Here's ABC Stephen Portnoy.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
A letter from Glenn Maxwell's attorney stresses that she's prepared
to plead the fifth if the deposition by the House
Overside Committee goes forward as scheduled August eleventh. They note
her appeal of her conviction is still pending before the
Supreme Court, but the lawyers do offer paths to fulsome
testimony for Maxwell, including a Congressional grant of immunity or
a presidential grant of clemency. An Oversight Committee spokesperson swiftly
(05:44):
responded to the letter, ruling out immunity as an option.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Maxwell is also trying to get her sex trafficking conviction
overturned by the Supreme Court, and the man accused of
stalking WNBA star Caitlin Clark is off to prison.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Fifty five year old Michael Lewis of Texas will serve
two and a half years after he pleaded guilty to
stalking and harassment. That's the maximum sentence under Indiana law.
Prosecutors say Lewis sent Clark more than eight hundred threatening
and sexually explicit social media messages. He told the judge
he was just joking.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
No matter how bizarline posts were, I could never get wong.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
As part of his plea deal, Lewis's band from all
Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers games and events. He also
has to seek mental health treatment. Michael Wallace, CBS News and.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Draft Kings is now facing a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania
over its marketing practices involving online casinos and sports betting.
The Globe reports the suit accuses the company of using
flashy ads to convince people to gamble online, which then,
these suit claims, led them to become addicted and spend
a lot of money at once. It says Draft Kings
allegedly made rules in terms of the risk difficult to
(06:46):
find in those ads, or just did not include them
at all. Online casinos are not legal in Massachusetts, but
the issue has come up in the past on Beacon Hill.
We've reached out to Draft Kings for comment. So far
we have not heard back. You are now in the
loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to WBZ
