It was two years ago today that the terror attacks against Israelis occurred in which Hamas and other militant groups killed around 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. Today, peace talks continue between the two warring groups with President Trump’s Administration facilitating. We are now past the original 72-hour deadline that Trump gave Hamas to accept the deal…Will we see an agreement reached anytime soon as Hamas appears to be stalling? Former US Delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva, attorney Jeff Robbins joined us to mark the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7th terror attacks.

Two Boston City Councilors, Councilor Liz Breadon, and Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune are pushing for government run grocery stores in Boston to address food insecurity, especially in areas of Boston considered a "food desert" with a lack of grocery options. How would the program work? Who can apply for or access the grocery stores if approved and would this open up job opportunities for people in Boston? We discussed all the details with Boston City Councilor Liz Breadon!

We kick off the program with four news stories and different guests on the stories we think you need to know about!

A visiting Harvard Law Professor was arrested for allegedly firing a pellet rifle outside a Brookline synagogue where congregants were marking the start of Yom Kippur. Carlos Portugal Gouvêa told police he was “hunting for rats” and not aware he lived next to a synagogue or that it was a religious holiday. While leaders at the synagogue say there is no reason to believe this was an antisemitic event, doesn't it seem common sense that you probably shouldn’t "hunt rats" openly with a BB gun without knowing your surroundings? Do you have a similar example where someone had a lack of common sense, where you would assume they knew better?

Over the weekend South End residents described seeing a large crowd of nearly 100 people involved in what appeared to be a chaotic scene on Mass Ave and Tremont St. Boston police say the group of people threw fireworks, traffic cones, poles, and other objects at cruisers during a “large-scale vehicle takeover" where a police cruiser was set on fire. A similar incident occurred in Randolph, MA just an hour earlier. Are the two incidents connected? What spurred the vehicle takeover? Some point to a growing nationwide trend.
