Of the wreckage.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Married couple from Rhode Island were killed in that crash
yesterday morning. Harvard says the majority of its grants canceled
by the Trump administration have now been restored. The Globe
is reporting that Harvard administrators told faculty and staff that
news earlier this month. It comes after a federal judge's
ruling that the administration cuts two Harvard's funds where illegal.
The administration says it will appeal that ruling. Of The
(01:39):
Easy News radios reached out to Harvard for more information.
The Israeli Defense Forces say it's received word that four
deceased hostages have been transferred into Red Cross custody. Earlier today,
sources told the AP that Israel was planning to have
aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating the cease fire
by slowing down the release of dead hostages. Meantime, President
(02:02):
Trump's back in Washington today after his trip to the
Middle East. He is calling on the international community to
come together after the Israeli Hamas hostage prison or exchange.
The President, calling the cease fire the historic dawn of
a new Middle East.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
President notably said yesterday that this was the hard phase
getting the hostages released, achieving this cease fire, and that
the next part, the rebuilding, would be easier. I think
it'd be hard to find experts who will say that
this next phase will be easy, because there are a
lot of complicated, very difficult questions right now in terms
of disarming Hamas, making sure that that holds, how do
(02:36):
you rebuild Gaza, how does that process play out, who
pays for it, and the security situation there as that
process is playing out.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That is ABC's Karen Travers. The government shutdown has been
going on now for two weeks and there's still no
end in sight.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
How Speaker Mike Johnson says that Democrats have another chance
to end this mess, and continues to focus on Senate
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
This is an attempt at image rehabilitation for Chuck Humer,
but a fired federal employee stood with Democrats at a
press conference, saying her Son.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Asked if he co at three D print legos and
sell them so we could help us pay our mortgage.
It was the sweetest and most heartbreaking thing he's ever.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Said, Allison Keys, CBS News Washington. We're still dealing with
some rain and shower activity. A vast majority of it
is along the coast and down toward the cape. It'll
continue to disintegrate us we head through the next several hours.
We need to get the clouds out of here as well.
They've hung tight today. Even further back away from the
(03:35):
coast and up into the inland sections. We're still dealing
with some cloudiness, so it'll take a while to bang
all of that out of here and get some partial
clearing in tonight. Temperatures eventually this evening about fifty downtown,
forties in the suburbs, and then partly sunny skies break
out Tomorrow. It'll still be a little breezy, temperatures in
the low sixties, mostly clear in the forties Tomorrow night,
(03:55):
and then Thursday's a relatively cool day fifty five with
a mix of clouds and so on. A little bit
better on Friday, sunshine around, temperatures near sixty and then
into the low sixties. It's a fall like day. Good
because it's fall and with those temperatures in low sixties,
we'll have sunshine on Saturday. Right now, it is fifty
five to grease in Boston. Trying to get more eyes
(04:16):
on the issue of domestic violence in Massachusetts an effort
on Beacon Hill to enlist help of hair stylists and cosmetologists.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Ja Marian Ryan says domestic violence is not just a
law enforcement problem, it's a community problem. That's why she
supports legislation to require that hair stylists and cosmetology students
complete one hour of education about domestic violence and sexual
assault awareness. She cites two reasons.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Why anyone who's been in a salon or a hip
barbershop here is lots of conversations about very important personal topics.
And the second is there are lots of injuries that
you only see in domestic violence cases, primarily things like
the loss of hair, strangle, marx defensive marks in the
arms that, especially where we live, can be very easily
(05:03):
covered up.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Ryan says there were no domestic violence homicides in Middlesex
County last year, largely because domestic violence is now seen
more as a community problem that everyone is aware of
and concerned about at the state House. Spike Maxlin WVZ,
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (05:22):

from the bully, and I never will. Mills posted a
video on her battles with the Trump administration and her
talking about her past and her influence from her father
(05:44):
when it comes to dealing with bullies.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
This election will be a simple choice. Is maing going
to bow down or stand up? I know my answers.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Mills says, my life's work has prepared me for this fight,
and I'm ready to win. The mat accused to try

to death with a sledgehammer if he saw him that night.
In rambling nine to one one call placed after the fire,
Bomber talked about the war in Gaza.

Governor Josh Shapiro needs to know that Cody Balmer will
not take part in his plans for what he wants
to do to the Palestinian people.
