3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Here's what's happening. Six of the thirteen people arrested during

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: a melee last night on Boston Common were arraigned today.

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: CBS News Boston's Penny Committed tells us what went down.

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: A peaceful pro Palestinian protest in Boston Common turning violent

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: after protesters allegedly sat in the middle of the road

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: near the Park Street tea stopped blocking traffic. When police

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: tried to move them, chaos erupted. Four officers were injured.

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: Two were sent to the hospital with reported broken bones.

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: Mayr Wu sang in a statement, quote, we are extremely

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: grateful for the work of the Boston Police in keeping

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: the city safe and in supporting the right to peacefully protest.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: Boston will not tolerate violence, and we categorically condemn those

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: who came into our community to attack our police officers.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: All of the suspects off from the Boston area and

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: in their upper teens and twenties. All of them face

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: resisting arrest and disorderly conduct charges. One's charge with Assaltic,

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a police officer. There'll be more arraignments tomorrow. Former FBI

00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: director James Comy pleads not guilty during his arraignment on

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: federal charges. He is accused of lying to a Senate

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: committee in twenty twenty. But ABC's Karen Travers tells US

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: President Trump's criticisms of Komy's go back much further than that.

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: President has been critical of Comy for a decade now.

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: He blames him for the Russia investigation, and we know

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: that he has put public pressure on the Attorney General.

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: Remember it was late last month when he said two reporters,

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: we have to act fast.

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: If they're not.

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: Guilty, that's fine, he said, If they are guilty, they

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: should be charged on.

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: The judge overseeing Comy's case has set a trial date

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,360

Speaker 4: shutdown enters its week. The IRS previously experienced a workforce

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,720

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 4: Last year, the IRS had some one hundred thousand workers. Presently,

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: it has around seventy five thousand. The furloughs during the

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,799

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: shower activity, basically on the outer cape, and that's about it.

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: There are a couple of showers trying to make a

Speaker 1: little bit of noise south shore, right around Marshfield and

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: Duxbury and down toward Plymouth. This is not much of anything,

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: but you could have feel as sprits on your head

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: if you're outside for the next half hour or so.

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: All of this is pushing away, well, it'll continue to

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: push away. The clouds are moving out as well. They

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: have moved out of western and central Massachusetts. The sun

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720

Speaker 1: It's still way up there, millions and millions of miles away,

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: but I digress. It will be sunny for most of

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240
