MARIA: RIGHT NOW, THE GULF COAST
BRACING FOR TROPICAL STORM
CINDY.
A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS IN
EFFECT FOR PARTS OF LOUISIANA

YOU CAN SEE FLOODING ALREADY
HAPPENING TONIGHT BEFORE
THE LANDFALL IN LOUISIANA.
THE STORM IS ALREADY BLAMED ONE
DEATH.
A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS KILLED
WHEN THE STORM SURGE KNOCKED A
LOG INTO HIM.
CINDY IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
AND YOU SEE CINDY BREEZIER
BEHIND US.
BE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF
THE STORM, THAT IS THE HEAVY
RAIN.
EVEN THOUGH WE TALK ABOUT THE
EYE, IT IS WHAT IS GOING AROUND
THAT.
MIKE: LET ME SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW,
IT IS OFFSHORE.
THIS IS WORKING NORTHWARD.
ON THE RIGHT, YOU SEE
THUNDERSTORMS.
THEY ARE PUTTING THE WATCHES OUT
TO 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
VERY POWERFUL, WET STORM.
SO THIS WILL BE JUST OFFSHORE AT
1:00 A.M. OVER THE AREA OF
TEXAS AND LOUISIANA TOMORROW
MORNING.
THEN MOVING INLAND IT WILL LOSE
ITS CHARACTERISTIC QUICKLY.
EARLY MORNING, FRIDAY, DOWN TO
THUNDERSTORMS MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.
TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS IN
PLACE, WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THEM.
CHECK OUT THE RAINFALL.

LOCATIONS.
AROUND HERE WE HAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE STATE,

WE WILL HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT
FOR FRIDAY.
I WILL HAVE THE DETAILS.
BEN: AN ATTACK ON A POLICE
OFFICER INSIDE THE AIRPORT
TERMINAL IN FLINT, MICHIGAN
BEING TREATED AS A POSSIBLE
TERRORISM INCIDENT.
TONIGHT THE OFFICER IS
RECOVERING FROM A NECK WOU
WHILE THE SUSPECT'S ACTIONS AND
WORDS ARE UNDER SCRUTINY.
THE ATTACK HAPPENED INSIDE THE
TERMINAL.
A MAN RAN UP TO A POLICE OFFICER
AND STABBED HIM IN THE NECK.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE ATTACKER
YELLED THE WORDS ALLAHU AKBAR,
WHICH IS ARABIC FOR GOD IS
GREAT.
HE ALSO ALLEGEDLY MADE COMMENTS
ABOUT AMERICANS KILLING ARAB
THE ATTACKER WAS ARRESTED AND
LED AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL IN
FRONT OF STUNNED TRAVELERS.
>> THEY WERE TAKING THE MAN.
HE WAS BLANK.
HE WAS TOTALLY BLANK.
BEN: THE SUSPECT IS AMOR FTOUHI,
A 50-YEAR-OLD CANADIAN.
INVESTIGATORS SAY HE ENTERED
AMERICA LEGALLY FIVE DAYS AGO
THROUGH LAKE CHAMPLAIN, NEW
YORK.
MARIA: TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR FIRST
LOOK AT WHAT IS IN THE SENATE
GOP HEALTH CARE PLAN.
BEN: YEAH.
WRITTEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS OVER
THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, MOST
SENATORS HAVE NOT SEEN IT, BUT
THEY COULD BE ASKED TO VOTE ON
IT NEXT WEEK.
DONALD TRUMP: I HOPE WE'RE GOING
TO SURPRISE YOU WITH A REALLY
GOOD PLAN.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT A PLAN WITH HEART.
SAID, AT SOME MONEY TO IT.
BEN: A SURPRISE IS CERTAINLY
WHAT IT IS.
CHUCK SCHUMER: THEY ARE ASHAMED
OF THEIR BILL.
THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO SEE
IT.
BEN: FOR WEEKS BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS, GOP SENATE LEADERS HAVE
DRAFTED A BILL TO REPEAL AND
REPLACE OBAMACARE, ANGERING
DEMOCRATS AND SOME REPUBLICANS.
JOHN MCCAIN: HAVEN'T SEEN IT,
HOW CAN I PUT MY SUPPORT BEHIND
IT, OR NOT BEHIND IT, IF I
HAVEN'T SEEN IT?
MITCH MCCONNELL: A DISCUSSION
DRAFT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC
TOMORROW.
EVERY MEMBER OF THE SENATE WILL
HAVE IT.
BEN: BUT THE WASHINGTON POST
SAYS IT ALREADY HAS A COPY OF
THE BILL
WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE PLAN
PASSED BY THE HOUSE LAST MONTH
WITH A COUPLE OF BIG CHANGES,
LIKE SUBSIDIES TO HELP PEOPLE
BUY INSURANCE WILL BE TIED TO
INCOME NOT AGE, AS IN THE HOUSE
BILL.
THE SENATE PLAN ALSO ROLLS BACK
THE EXPANSION OF MEDICAID, A
PROGRAM RUN BY THE STATES FOR
LOWER INCOME INDIVIDUALS, BUT IT
DOES IT MORE SLOWLY THAN THE
HOUSE BILL.
AND THE SENATE PLAN REPEALS ALL
OBAMACARE TAXES, EXCEPT THE TAX
ON VERY EXPENSIVE, SO-CALLED
CADILLAC HEALTH PLANS.
IT'S NOT CLEAR IF SENATE
REPUBLICANS HAVE 50 VOTES FOR
THIS BILL.
DEMOCRATS SAY THEY'LL FIGHT IT.
ELIZABETH WARREN: ARE YOU READY
TO FIGHT BACK FOR EVERY HUMAN
BEING IN THIS COUNTRY?
BEN: YOU KNOW IT IS UNCLEAR
, TONIGHT HOW THIS SENATE BILL
WILL HANDLE THOSE PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS, IF IT WILL LET
STATES CHANGE THE RULES TO ALLOW
INSURERS TO CHARGE PATIENTS WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MORE
MONEY.
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH
MCCONNELL IS PUSHING FOR A VOT
ON THIS BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
MARIA: FOLLOWING A STRING OF
SPECIAL ELECTION LOSSES FOR
DEMOCRATS, MASSACHUSETTS

LEADERSHIP INCLUDING REPLACING
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER NANCY
PELOSI
SETH MOULTON: WELL, YOU KNOW,
WHETHER SHE'S THE LEADER OR NOT
IS UP FOR THE CAUCUS TO DECIDE.
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
CERTAINLY HAVE TO DISCUSS
BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR THAT, I
THINK, ACROSS THE BOARD IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WE NEED NEW
LEADERSHIP
IT'S TIME FOR A NEW GENERATION
OF LEADERSHIP IN THE PARTY.
MARIA: SOMETHING SETH MOULTON
TOLD US LAST NIGHT ON NEWSCENTER

TWO DELIBERATIONS IN THE MURDER
TRIAL OF MICHAEL MCCARTHY.
HE OF COURSE IS ACCUSED OF
BEATING TWO-YEAR-OLD BELLA BOND
TO DEATH BEFORE DUMPING HER BODY
IN THE BOSTON HARBOR.
BUT THE DEFENSE BLAMES THE
GIRL'S MOTHER, RACHELLE BOND,
WHO WAITED MONTHS TO REPORT HER
DAUGHTER'S DEATH, THEN TESTIFIED
FOR THE PROSECUTION AS PART OF A
PLEA DEAL.
WHEN HIS 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
ADDED SNAPCHAT TO HER PHONE,
PROSECUTORS SAY SEAN NGUYEN OF
PEABODY GOT ANGRY AND TOOK
DISCIPLINE TOO FAR.
NOW HE'S BEING HELD WITHOUT
BAIL
HE'S ACCUSED OF ATTACKING THE
LITTLE GIRL WITH A BELT AND THEN
CHOKING HER.
THE DEFENSE SAYS THE CHARGES ARE
EXAGGERATED.
NGUYEN'S GIRLFRIEND SAYS THE
GIRL DESERVED TO BE DISCIPLINED,
AND THAT HER BOYFRIEND DIDN'T
USE A BELT.

THE LETTER ANNOUNCING THE

IN BROOKLYN.
APPARENTLY THE DRIVER PUT THE
BUS IN NEUTRAL, INSTEAD OF PARK,
AND WHEN SHE STEPPED OFF THE
BUS, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN
THE ONE-WAY STREET.
ON THE WAY DOWN THE ROAD, THE
BUS SIDESWIPED ABOUT 10 CARS.
THE BUS FINALLY STOPPED WHEN IT
HIT A VAN AND CRASHED INTO A
CHURCH.
THE DRIVER WAS ONLY ON HER THIRD
DAY BEHIND THE WHEEL ALONE.

CARTOON.

NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY HURT.
BEN: THE YEAR'S HOTTEST TOY IS
NOW ON A LIST OF THOSE
CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.
A BOSTON-BASED WATCHDOG GROUP IS
WARNING PARENTS TO KEEP KIDS
AWAY FROM FIDGET SPINNERS.
RECENT REPORTS REVEAL CHILDREN
WERE HOSPITALIZED AFTER CHOKING
ON BROKEN FIDGET SPINNER PIECES
IN OREGON AND TEXAS.
THE GROUP SAYS ITS WARNINGS ARE
BASED ON THEIR EVALUATIONS, NOT
SPECIFIC INJURY STATISTICS.
>> REALLY UNTIL THE FIGURE THEM
OUT, A BETTER WAY TO MAKE THESE,
A RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO
AVOID THEM.
BEN: HERE IN BOSTON, CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL SAYS ITS DOCTORS HAVE
NOT TREATED ANY FIDGET-SPINNER
INJURIES.
FOR THE COMPLETE LIST OF
DANGEROUS TOYS, CHECK OUT THE
WCVB MOBILE APP.
I WILL LEAVE IT THERE.
MARIA: GOOD IDEA.
RELIEF FOR PEOPLE DEALING WITH
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS MAY BE
FOUND IN FISH.

WOMEN'S HOSPITAL AND HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL FOUND THAT
PATIENTS WHO ATE FISH AT LEAST
TWICE A WEEK SAW THEIR SYMPTOMS
REDUCED FAR MORE THAN THOSE WHO
ATE FISH LESS THAN ONCE A MONTH.
SYMPTOMS WERE REDUCED EVEN MORE
FOR THOSE EATING FISH MORE THAN
TWICE A WEEK.

REDUCE YOUR RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S.
NEW RESEARCH FROM TEMPLE

ASSOCIATED WITH THE ONSET OF THE
