Eighty five degrees in Boston. It's eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning. Thanks for being with us. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening. It's about to get easier for you to head out to the city of Boston for the night, or anywhere around Greater Boston on the TEE and leave the car at home. This is because the MBTA is planning some major changes, the agency saying today it will extend subway service and some bus service by about an hour on Friday and Saturday nights. This comes as a
handful of the most frequented bus routes. We'll use that new schedule every day of the week. The TEA is also adding additional ferry service on Friday and Saturday nights. Now, all of this is being discussed right now at a board meeting of the MBTA. We're expecting to get more details in just about an hour and a half at a press conference with Governor Heey. Again, that is happening at twelve thirty. Police have arrested suspect accused of vandalizing
the State House last month. Jeremiah Yussuf Sawakhad faces multiple counts of vandalism your CBS News Boston's Tammy Mutasa.
Detectives say the twenty five year old is part of a group called the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation, which investigators consider an extreme anti Zionist organization that endorses violent resistance. Detectives say they connected a social media post to Sawaked's IP address and cell phone which said the group quote targeted the Massachusetts State House with paint mixed
with feces and lit homemade flares on its gates. Intelligence agencies from New York and Toronto had also been looking into the suspect, saying Salwakhed made a concerning social media post stating, you must bring forth the disruption and disturbances by hindering the entrances into these capitals, into these city halls, municipal buildings.
Is bail is said at thirty thousand dollars. At eleven two, a day after federalizing the Washington d C. Police Force, we are learning President Trump has a plan to create a brand new military unit. CBS's Michael Wallace says this unit would respond to civil unrest that pops up around the country.
Internal Pentagon documents reviewed by The Washington Posts say the Quick Reaction Force would be made up of six hundred National Guard troops. They would always be on standby so they could deploy in as little as an hour. Some legal scholars tell the Post that Trump administration is relying on shaky legal theory, since National Guard members from one state cannot operate in another without special permission. The documents mentioned the new unit could reduce the availability of troops
for other emergencies like wildfires and hurricanes. Michael Wallace, CBS News.
And Medford Police say they need your help as they investigate a hit and run crash early Sunday morning, just before one thirty. They say a pedestrian was crossing Main Street in front of Alexander's when the person was hit by a vehicle. The victim had been in the crosswalk at the time. They did suffer serious injuries. The driver took off down Main Street south bound, heading towards Somerville.
If you have any information or any surveillance video that might have captured that incident, you're asked to call Medford Police. Temperatures in the eighties from most of us at this point, and we are going to be seeing a very hot and humid day across the board today. National Weather Service says that many of us could see a heat index pushing one hundred degrees inside four ninety five, and also out there right through Springfield the Connecticut River Valley, you
could also be rather hot and especially sticky. Cool space to be for the day is going to be on the Capan Islands, you're going to be mostly in the eighties, but we will be seeing some hot temperatures for the rest of US hies between just about ninety two and ninety seven, and we also have an air quality alert
through eleven o'clock tonight. We just are going to have one of those uncomfortable days outside, one of those days you want to keep the ice cream, keep the cool water close, whatever iced thing I guess you can get for tonight mostly clear, low near seventy and then for tomorrow, mix of sun and clouds. It's breezy back in the nineties, but not as hot as it will be today, and we've got the tempts in the low eighties on the
Capan Islands. Could have a couple of storms popping up late tomorrow or tomorrow night clouds and sun, and we've got a few thunderstorms as well on Thursday with a high in the eighties. Our temperatures out there right now eighty five in Taunton, were at eighty six in Westborough, north of Boston, eighty six in Redding, and in Boston at eleven oh six. It is partly cloudy and eighty
five degrees. The number twelve holds a very special meaning to Taylor Swift fans today, the singer announcing her twelfth studio album overnight at twelve twelve. Your CBS's Deborah Rodriguez.

Governor Heey, by the way, saying it is time for the trash collector strike to be done to come to an end. In a new letter to John vander Ark, the president and CEO for Public Services, she says the company has to return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith. She says the strike, which is into the seventh week at this point, is impacting public health and quality of life.
She also notes that vander Ark is not taking her calls. She says the quote time for delay and posturing is over.

Researchers are potentially looking to the other side of the world now as they prepare for what could eventually become a devastating earthquake.
State side scientists are bracing for the next so called Big One in California, and they're finding clues by studying a seven point seven magnitude earthquake that hit Me and Mar in Southeast Asia back in March. They say the fault in Me and Mar is very similar to California's San Andrea's fault. Researchers say they were surprised by the length of the rupture in me and Mar, more than
three hundred miles. They're now using the information to develop models for California with a range of possible outcomes.
