(01:17):
was playing at his Palm Beach golf course in Florida
last year. Ruth tried to stab himself with the neck.
After hearing the verdict. The officers in the courtroom quickly
dragged him out of that room. Ruth represented himself and
the jury presented its decision after two hours of deliberations.
Ruth is set to be sentenced in October or learning
who will join Jimmy Kimmel on his first show back
(01:39):
on the air after last week's suspension.

Powell and singer Sarah McLaughlin will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Powell promoting his new sports comedy TV series called Chad Powers.
On Wednesday, after Ethan Hawk and Abbot elementaries Lisa and
Walter will sit down on the couch with Kimmel, and

Speaker 1 (02:06):
That is ABC's in New York. A gathering of world
leaders at the United Nations the General Assembly set to
discuss the world's most pressing problems. President Trump's remarks, he
talked about the accomplishments of his administration. He says he
ended seven wars without the help of the UN, and sadly,
(02:27):
in all cases, the United Nations did not even try
to help in any of them. The President telling the
top UN official the US is behind the global body
one hundred percent. After fears that he might announce a
full retreat on again, off again, now off, a meeting
between President Trump and the Democratic congressional leaders to talk
(02:48):
about government funding is on the back burner. A deadline
of September thirtieth looms to lawmakers need to pass funding
to stop the government from closing its doors on October first.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Trump says he's not going to meet with the Democratic
congressional leaders because a meeting would not be productive, calling
their proposals to fund the government and avert a shutdown
quote unserious and ridiculous. The president putting the finger of Democrat,
saying the minority party will be to blame if the
government shuts down. On Monday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told
me what the White House wants to see.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
We want a clean funding extension to keep the government open.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's all we're advocating for.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
At Karen Travers ABC News the White House.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
On Friday, the Senate failed to advance both a House
passed short term government funding bill and a Democrat counter offer.
Few showers around this afternoon. I say a few, because
well there's only been a few. We could certainly use
a lot of rain, but we are not probably going
to get a lot out of this batch of showers
that'll be visiting us over the next few days. As
(03:46):
we look at the radar this afternoon, these spots with
the showers are up to the north. Mainly we're still
seeing a couple of showers trying to hang on up
towards Salisbury, actually south of Salisbury. It looks like newberries
getting under some of this, and maybe Rowley as well.
So that's about it. We had a little bit more
precipitation earlier, but a lot of it's just kind of vanished.
(04:07):
And then there's a couple of showers down into parts
of Connecticut, and a pretty decent amount of showery activity
up into the down east Maine. So there's rain in
New England. It's just not falling on us right now,
but it might later on tonight, a couple of showers
could pop up, maybe some thunder popping up as well.
Sixty three for the low, with the clouds in place
and a bit of humidity, cloudy, cooler, a couple of
(04:29):
showers Tomorrow sixty six to seventy. Thursday, we fire off
a couple of showers, maybe a thunderstorm. Temperatures in the
low to mid seventies, and then on Friday, some clouds,
some breaks of sun, but also the risk of a shower.
Temperatures in the upper seventies. Right now, seventy nine degrees
in Boston. With just six months until the Women's Professional
soccer returns to Boston, a local World Cup winner couldn't
(04:51):
be more excited. Wvc's Kyle Bray with the Tails.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Hanson native Sam Us never got the chance to play
for the NWSL's Boston Breakers before they folded. She's taking
a front row seat for the launch of the new
team Boston Legacy FC. She's excited for the younger generation
of soccer players to have local role models in women's
soccer to look up to.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
As a young kid growing up in this area, playing
in such a incredible sports city, I feel like I
had really great role models, but a lot of them
were men playing other sports.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
UIs is taking part in Boston Legacy's Athlete Advisory Board,
where'll show help create a positive player experience in the
wake of four coaches being banned for sexual harassment in
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
The player experience and player safety is of the utmost
importance to me, and I am aligning myself with this
club because I can see that it's of the utmost
importance to them.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
As for her pitch to any stars considering a move
to Boston.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Boston's obviously like a championship city, and so I know
someday the steam will win championships, and I think that's
appealing to any player from Foxborough.
