Good morning, I'm Kyle Bray. Thank you for joining us,
and here's what's happening. A heat advised to reach us
went into effect around Greater Boston. Wbz's James Rojas has
the latest.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Visiting from Georgia. Lloyd knows a thing or two about sticky,
muggy weather.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
In the South, everybody has central air, so it's really
easy to hide from the heat. But here, you know,
but he gets too made, he gets it gets difficult
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
He was hoping Boston would feel a bit better than
the South, but it's like he never left William, he
just came back from traveling. His game plan for the
next hot, humid days.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I would say, we spend a lot of time indoors,
you know, with the air conditioning, but we do go
outside every now and then to go out.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
For a walk and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
A heat advisory will remain in effect until Thursday. In
downtown Boston. James rohas WBZ Boston's news radio. Seven Havel
police officers have been placed on administrative leave in the
wake of the death of a man during a struggle
with officers last week. The officers have not been identified.
They were placed on leave last Friday, the same day
(01:17):
that Francis Jigliantti died in police custody. Jiggliatti's family says
officers knelt on his neck and pigpiled on top of
him while trying to restrain him during a mental health episode.
Police responded to the scene initially for reports of a
man acting erradically. Jiggliani became unresponsive and was later pronounced
dead at a local hospital. The Essex County DIA's office
(01:37):
is investigating. When the UN says hundreds of Palestinians have
been killed near eight sites run by a US and
Israeli backed organization in the Gaza Strip, CBS's Cammy McCormick reports.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The need to be investigations in each and every killing.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Tamine El Katana, the UN Human Rights Office says the
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has bypassed traditional aid systems while the
violence only grows.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
As of the thirteenth of July, we have recorded eight
hundred and seventy five people killed in Gaza while trying
to get food. Six hundred and seventy four of them
were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
In the meantime, the UN says one in ten children
in Gaza are malnourished.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Meanwhile, the UN also warns of a critical fuel shortage
in the Gaza strip. This puts hospitals another infrastructure at risk.
New numbers show US inflation accelerated last month to its
highest level since February. ABC's Jibryant reports.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
The CPI for last month showed an uptick in both
the headline and the core readings, and analysts a tarots
unimported goods are likely behind the rise. Prices for all
items were up three tenths of one percent between me
and June and two point seven percent higher year over year.
The FED would like to see that figure drop to
two percent before cutting interest rates.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The fed's next meeting is scheduled for the end of
the month. It's time down for the forty eight z
ACU weather forecast. There is a heat advisory that just
went into effect and will be in effect through Thursday evening.
This does not include the Cape and islands, but we
will see real field temps in the mid to upper
nineties each afternoon throughout the rest of the week. Today,
we should see some sunshine and some clowns. Will have
(03:17):
highs between eighty five and eighty nine that will be
to the upper seventies and lower eighties if you're out
on the Cape and islands. Tonight will be partly clowny,
low of seventy one. Now. Tomorrow we'll have some sun
and clowns. We'll have a high in near ninety Sticking
with that on Thursday, but there will be a thunderstorm
around in the afternoon. We'll have a high between eighty
four and eighty eight. Friday, we'll have times of sun
and clowns, with a stray afternoon thunderstorm high again of
(03:40):
eighty eight. Looking ahead, we should have a pleasant Sunday
with our Saturday with some sunshine and much lower humidity.
Will have highs in the seventies near eighty degrees. Right
now in Boston it is eighty one degrees with a
real feel of ninety four and mostly sunny. The Fall
River Firefighters Union calls out the city of Fall River
after after a deadly fire at an assisted livid and facility.
(04:03):
Wbz's Brook McCarthy.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Explains devastation and Fall River after nine people died in
a fire at the Gabriel House assisted living facility, and
now the International Association of Firefighters says some of those
desks could have been prevented.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, we're devastated by the loss of nine citizens of
Fall River who, quite frankly, some of whom should be
alive today.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
That's Union president Edward Kelly. He says eight of the
city's ten fire companies were not fully staffed.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Ba't the fire companies of Fall River at the full
standard of full firefighters per company, and in doing so,
we'll protect this city adequately.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Kelly says, if the city had followed this recommendation, eight
more firefighters would have been available during the initial response,
which would have meant more manpower to rescue people and
better fire suppression. Brook McCarthy WBZ, Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The Trump administration goes on the defense over its decision
to not release any more information about Jeffrey Epstein. ABC
Jonathan Carl reports the.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Year's FBI director, Cash Betel and his deputy Dan Bongino,
stoked shadowy conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein shortly after becoming Attorney General.
Pam Bondi promised the truth would come out, claiming she
had a list of Epstein's clients.
Speaker 9 (05:16):
It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Last week, Bondi said there was no list at all.
The president, like many New York celebrities, had some association
with Epstein. When Epstein was arrested in twenty nineteen, Trump
said they had had a falling out and hadn't spoken
for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The decision to not release any more information has royal
President Trump's base. Transparency about the investigation was a pillar
of the president's campaign last year. Now some of his
supporters are accusing him of turning back on that promise.
This year's Emmy nominees will be announced in less than
a half an hour. CBS's Stacy Lynn has more the studio.
