This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Sunny in eighty eight degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock, Good Tuesday morning. I'm Sherry Small. Here's what's happening.
All right.
There's just no easy way to say it. You'll be sweating if you're outside today, it's.
Going to be miserable. With the high temperature expected to reach ninety eight in Boston. That would be a record breaker. And when you combine the sunshine, the heat, and the humidity and mix it all up, you get an ACUA the real field temperature that could hit one oh five. That's pretty high on at misery index as far as I'm concerned.
And that's ACU Weather mediaorologist Joe Lundberg. We're under a heat advisory until tomorrow evening at eight pm, except for the Cape and the Islands. We'll break it down further in the full forecast that's coming up. In three Misdirected and Turned Around, New details emerge on a mass shooter in Manhattan. A gunman shoots and kills four people in Midtown while trying to reach the NFL offices.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams CBS mornings. Shane Timura of Las Vegas killed three people in the lobby of three forty five Park Avenue and planned to go up to the NFL's corporate offices.
He took the wrong elevator bank.
He wound up on the thirty third floor office of Roodent Management, where he killed another person before taking his own life. Timura had a note on him saying he suffered from CTE.
He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury.
Timura never played in the NFL, he did play high school football. Michael Wallace, CBS News, New York.
Dozens of Palestinians are killed while seeking food today. The Gaza Health Ministry now says more than sixty thousand Palestinians have been killed since the Israel Israel Moss War began, a figure that Israel refutes but others see as an undercount. Meanwhile, within Israel's own borders, their outcries of genocide from two of its leading human rights organizations, Jennifide Erslim.
The declaration Monday by Bat Salem and Physicians for Human Rights marks the first time major Israeli groups have leveled the charge, but Salem's report pointed to the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians, the destruction of Palestinian cities, forced his placement of nearly the entire population of Gaza and keeping out food and supplies. The Israeli government called the accusations baseless. I'm Michael Kasner.
Advocates for rent stabilization hold a rally on Beacon Hill today. Lawmakers considering a bill that, if passed, would lift the decades long ban on rent control here in Massachusetts. Supporters are heading to the State House for a rally this hour ahead of hearing on the bill this afternoon at the Gardner Auditorium and coming up. Nurses on the Cape say they're ready to walk off the job. And now
the ACU weather forecasts another hot one today. In fact, we are looking at possibly breaking a record with a high of ninety eight. If we do reach that, that would break the record of ninety seven in Boston that was last reached in the early thirties. Real field temps over one hundred, highs in the upper eighties to low nineties on the Cape and the Islands, mainly clear skies. Tonight, we'll see a low of sixty nine to seventy three
and then tomorrow another hot day. In fact, the heat advisory will remain in effect until eight pm Tomorrow evening we'll see a heavy thunderstorm late in the afternoon and evening. On Wednesday, we could see some flooding downpours, damaging wind gus with that highs near ninety at the harbor, but well into the nineties for the inland suburbs. And much like today, Reel feels around one hundred and then Thursday, cloudy,
we're gonna cool down. Seventy two to seventy six are the highs, a couple of showers and heavier thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon, and then we really dial things back a high of only sixty seven to about seventy one on Friday. But on Friday we could see some rain that would lead to slower travel, mainly for the morning commute. All right, now it's eighty eight in Boston. The real field tempt though, is ninety five. Is humid out there at eleven oh five. Back to news, nurses on the
Cape vote to authorize a strike. Here's WBC's Jeremy Russ with tails.
These urces work at Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital. They say contract talks of dragged on since last fall without a fair deal. They're pushing back against changes to their health insurance, demanding higher wages, and calling for stronger efforts to prevent workplace violence. If they do walk out, the strike would last three days, but just because they've
authorized a strike doesn't mean they'll actually do it. The Massachusetts Nurses Association says it'll see how management responds during the next bargaining session on August fourth before weighing next steps. If they do decide to strike, they'll have to give the hospitals ten days notice. Jeremy Russ WBZ, Boston's News radio and a statement.
From Cape Cod Healthcare, They say that they're committed to bargaining in good faith, saying they are offering wage increases of over twenty two percent over three years, including annual step increases, and a judge ruling against a preliminary injunction that would have ordered Republic Services to immediately collect trash in several cities and towns. Item Live reporting that the joint request was filed nearly two weeks ago by Beverly Danvers, PEBD, Gloucester,
Malden and Canton. Republic filed multiple affidavits on its efforts to make good on municipal contracts despite the strike, including outlining its move to bring in replacement workers from other areas. In her decision, the Salem Superior Court judge says that the court cannot resolve the labor dispute between Republic and the Teamsters. Union workers have now been on strike against Republic in for four full weeks, now into week five.
The federal government is asking for donations to pay off the national text.
It's a simple question. I'm asking people on the Boston Common would you use Venmo PayPal to help pay off the national debt?
No?
Yeah, I'm getting a lot of that. But the feds are now accepting those two major mobile payment apps for donations to help pay off some thirty six trillion in debt.
My that's where I redo everything, So that's definitely a place where it'd be beneficial.
Nichole's not going to do it, but thinks it's a good idea. Jamal's an accountant.
He's a no too lucky for me. I have no credit cards.
He's from the school to stay out of debt no matter what.
I'm a cass Business.
