Partly Sonny, Here comes the Sun. Cue the Beatles in Boston. It's eleven o'clock on this Wednesday morning. Good morning, I'm Laurie Kirby topping our newsgun reform. Governor Healey signs an emergency preamble to safeguard a new sweeping gun law that is on the brink of going into effects statewide, and gun supporters already are saying that local gun shops will
be forced to shudder. So what does it do? The gun law bans ghost guns in the Commonwealth, and it makes it easier to remove guns from people who are a danger to themselves or others. Gun owners and Second Amendment supporters are pursuing a ballot question to repeal the law, but this move by the governor fast tracks it, putting it into place immediately to make it politically bullet proof, if you will, in the short term, but in the
long term. This gun coalition tells State House News they are not altering their approach to bringing this to Massachusetts voters on a ballid referendum come twenty twenty six. And of course, gun control abortion, you name at the Middle East crisis coming front and center in the vice presidential debate. Let's get the highlights. In this report from CBS News, Democrat Tim Walls and Republican JD Vance topped up the top of their respective tickets at last night's debate on CBS.
Donald Trump actually delivered stability in the world, and he did it by establishing effective deterrence.
Our coalition is strong and we need the steady leadership that Kamala Harris is providing.
Voters in Bucks County, pennsylvaniad in this woman on Walls.
I think any debate is difficult.
I think he's sticking to the topics and he's talking about things that are important to Pennsylvania voters and lots of Democrats. This voter liked what he heard from the republic Jade.
The Vance is a man of the people.
Straightforward the answers questions.
Kamala Harris will tour damage from Hurricane Helene in Georgia. Today, Donald Trump attends a private campaign fund raiser in Houston. By the way, our CBS News poll finds most viewers like the civil tone of last night's debate. CBS News special report I'm Deborah Rodriguez. There's an embiden heading south today for an aerial view of the wreckage left behind Hurricane Helene. He'll find rescue workers deep into an all hands on deck effort to reach survivors. Rescue efforts are
still underway across hundreds of miles. ABC's Jim Ryan with that.
Nearly six thousand National Guard members have been sent to the southeastern United States to rescue flood victims and clearly recovered roads. At a regional airport in Concord, North Carolina. It's a volunteer effort.
All these people that are coming in from across the entire country just to run supplies everywhere we need to be.
Teddy Peats is with Operation Air Drop, private pilots using their own aircraft to get food and water into the storm zone.
It's truly been incredible.
Jim Ryan, ABC News South Shore drivers heads up the four river bridges going up at noon today. This is for an inbound vessel, meaning when it leaves tomorrow at ten o'clock that bridge is going to be stuck up again roughly twenty minutes. You know, the drill. The exact time of the bridge opening subject to weather. And the ETA can change for each ship, barge, tanker, et cetera. It was pretty dreary this morning, and some of you
are saying, what nice day. Well, I'm seeing some sunshine, just a little sliver outside my window in the Boston Greater Boston area. And this is our forecast. Little peaks of sun maybe a pop up sprinkle, and primarily just a little bit of cloud cover. Right just like yesterday, I would say, and a high sixty four to sixty
eight today. We're cloudy and cooler tonight inland in the forties, so you're going to feel that difference, and then we shoot back up and do summer like weather Thursday and Friday. Actually approaching eighty degrees on Friday was from sunshine. All right, this is serious. The NTSB is on scene in the area investigating yesterday's green line derailment that injured people in Cambridge. Wid bz's James Rojas is at Leechmere Station.
The train that derailed during yesterday afternoon's commute remains where it came off the track here near Leechmere Station. It won't be moved until the NTSB has conducted its own investigation. That means Shuttle buses are replacing service between North Station and Medford Tufts and Union Square.
Lendy, I have a lot of time this morning, but for you who don't, it definitely could be our simplified.
It's an extra half hour an hour if we're very confused.
You know, fifty people were evacuated from the derail train yesterday. Seven taken to the hospital for minor injuries in Cambridge. James Rojas w b Z Boston's News Radio.
Again the latest down of the Middle East. Is Israel just said that seven of their soldiers have been killed in the ground incursion into southern Lebanon, and that is just breaking and getting that from the AP in Jerusalem. Israel planning its retaliation after yesterday's missile barrage from Iran. ABC's Matt Gudman is in Tel Aviv.
Israeli military is going to present the government with a menu of options that I've told is very very likely to include attacking Iranian military installations, but also possibly its energy sector. Really depends on how far the Israeli government wants to take this, and reprisal might not be immediate. We're in the midst of the Jewish New Year. The biggest holiday of the year here, and the Israeli government is going to want to consult with the US government before taking action.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says the US helped his countries shoot down many of the nearly two hundred ballistic missiles launched by Iran. Two Boston public school administrators pay the price for taking their kids to see Hamilton with tickets donated to the district. Now those tickets were meant for the students, The state's Ethics Commission says. Former Tobin School Principal Natasha half Kenny, along with current assistant principal Corey Miranda,
brought their own sons to the show. Neither of these kids go to Boston public schools. Miranda and half Kenny have now each paid four thousand dollars in fines for violating the state's conflict of interest law. You are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
