>> donald trump said barack obama was born in the united states not because he believes it, but he believes he'll lose the presidential race if white college-educated women think he's a racist, and they do. reporter: addressing the lingering controversy now allows trump to move on. >> i think it puts to rest the talk and the clamor about it. and he can get back to trying to talk about real issues reporter: clinton says trump has distorted the truth on the issue for years a announcement. >> barack obama was born in america, plain and simple. and donald trump owes him and the american people an apology. reporter: no apology from donald trump. he's blaming hillary clinton for starting the birther movement. politicfact says that is not true. john atwater, wcvb, newscenter 5. >> both president obama and the first lady are responding to trump's turnaround. >> i was pretty confident about

and my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that. >> during his time in office, i think barack has answered those questions with the example he set by going high when they go low.

their surroundings. >> it definitely makes me want to double-check over my back. yeah. especially, you know, that early in the morning. you don't really think that that's going to happen. reporter: police say they do not have a description of the suspect at this time. but if you have any information that can help police in this case, you are asked to call the easton police department. in easton, diane cho, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: a bridgewater state student has claim that someone tried to rape her. the unidentified woman claimed she was attacked on summer street near the campus. she said a man wearing a ski mask put a bag over her head and then tried to tear her clothes off. the claim put the college on high alert most of the day friday, but police say that student eventually said the attack never happened. todd: 8:07 on this saturday morning. and an effort to reveal the price tag for marathon bomber

a federal judge ruling the release of the defense costs should not be made public yet. the "boston globe" filed a motion to see that data. federal law requires the release of the information when the case is over, but the judge says the case will not be over until tsarnaev's appeal is decided. antoinette: the man and woman behind the so-called snapchat rape case are now going to prison. rashad deihim and kailyn bonia were sentenced to four to five years in prison plus three years of probation. for the assault behind a saugus elementary school two years ago. a third person pleaded guilty to videotaping the attack. in court, prosecutors said the two had no remorse. a relative of kailyn bonia said that's not the case. >> she's very sorry. she's -- i don't think she realizes how she got here either. >> do you think it was fair? was he remorseful at all? >> i have no comments. antoinette: that was rashad deihim's father. not much to say as their family left after the sentencing. both will also have to register

todd: time now 8:12. the mbta is launching a first of its kind pilot program. >> governor baker says an on-demand para-transit program is a more convenient and cheaper

the mbta pays the next $13. then the customer pays the remainder of the trip. the ride has to be scheduled a day in advance. >> there are times i miss medical appointments that i scheduled, you know, months and months in advance with a specialist. then i miss it because i'm 15 minutes late, and then i have to wait like another six, eight months to get another appointment. antoinette: the on-demand para-transit program will be tested out for a year. it's the first of its kind. todd: zipcar is expag services. the new project, not cars but bikes. at the start of the next year, zipbike will launch a program with bike share company zagster. zipbike will bring 10 bike share networks to college campuses around the country. students and faculty will have access to cars and bicycles with a single membership. currently, zipcar offers vehicles on 500 campuses here in the u.s. >> now, your stormteam 5

antoinette: okay. we have a nice clear, cool start. it's going to be sunny. we've got some rain in the forecast. it's great! fantastic! mike: everyone's thrilled. we're celebrating all the beautiful weather. we need the rain and we'll finally get some tomorrow. but last night, spectacular. this is eileen murphy. she's always sending these great photographs. that is the full rising up over the horizon. and just to include a few sailboats as well. look at this one on craigville beach right over the horizon. great colors that look so spectacular out there. spectacular day. here's a live view over the harbor. clear skies. a little bit of low cloud that was in there early in a few spots. that's burning off as we speak. it's 58 degrees. wind are out of the southwest at 7 miles per hour. it's going to be a southerly direction all day today. and the dew point is at a very

it's going to many could up for sunday and monday. that is good news in our forecast, because it means we have more moisture in the air to work with, a better opportunity to get some rain out of this system. and if you're going to be doing the harbor to bay ride today, it goes from boston to p-town, it's 104 miles. emceed by our own randy price and what a terrific cause that is. they're expecting to raise about a hal also, we have a blues festival at library park in woburn from 1:00 to 8:00 to benefit veterans. temperature should be about 76 degrees, pleasant conditions. a great day to enjoy great music as well. today, sunny and mild. 72 to 78 degrees. a few spots inland may get close to 80. tonight, clouds roll in. maybe some showers. i think primarily in the west part of the state.

look at that. in the south central plains, it's moving this way. we have tropical moisture in place. as this cold front comes in, look at the showers and thunderstorms associated with it. there is a chance, a chance, slim chance, that we could see some scattered showers tomorrow afternoon. i really think the bulk of it is going to be tomorrow night into monday. tomorrow morning at 7:30, here's what i mean. a few hit or miss showers, cloud cover, maybe even a few breaks in the cloud cover. heads towards 4:00 in the afternoon, some showers. 8:00 at night, still a lot of cloudy skies, then as we head toward the overnight hours into the early monday morning hours, this is when we start to get our real rain coming across the area. your monday morning commute could be a bit on the slow side. patriots game tomorrow 1:00. slight risk of rain. bring the foul weather gear with you. if you leave it at home, you know what will happen. just a slight risk.

seven days. as far as today, sunshine. tomorrow it's cloud. tomorrow night it's rain into monday. tuesday, we clear things off again. by tuesday, 82 degrees. wednesday and thursday, if you like today, you get a repeat of it. wednesday and thursday, mid 70's, plenty of sunshine. looking like beautiful weather. it's actually looking very dry the next seven days, so we'll look forward to seeing some of that rain here as we talk about tomorrow and into monday as well. it is definitely something that we need. todd and antoinette: some of the other stories we're following. todd: suspects open fire on police in two states. two were shot in philadelphia. four others were hurt critically. the suspect was shot and killed by police. two officers in fort worth, texas, are recovering this morning after they got hit by gunfire. they'd been answering a call for a reported suicide. the officers are expected to

unclear. antoinette: an eight-hour standoff on a train comes to an end. a passenger barricaded themselves inside a railcar, forcing the evacuation of 187 passengers. police officers launched tear gas into that railcar, and then they went in to arrest him. passengers called for help when they saw that armed man on the train. witnesses say the suspect appeared to be under the influence or suffering from a mental health issue. bond denied for the man charg at a hearing in mississippi, investigators say 46-year-old rodney earl sanders confessed to the killings. he told police that he went into their homes, struggled with them, stabbed them to death, and then stole their car. sisters margaret held and paula merri merrill, both 68, were found dead in their home last month. they opposed the death penalty. sister merrill is a stoneham native.

fargo. three plaintiffs have filed the first lawsuit against the utah bank. the employees use the fraudulent accounts to boost sales numbers. wells fargo has fired a 5,300 employees. the bank will pay $185 million in fines and refund $5 million more to customers. >> now, here's josh brogadir >> an encore performance is usually better than the first time around. but unless big papi hit a grand slam to beat the yankees with two outs in the ninth, it would have been impossible to handle hanley's heroics. the red sox will have no problem with a quality start from clay buchholz as head. last night, he starts off with an rbi single. mookie betts is going to score. 2-0 red sox after one. hanley not done. hanley not close to done.

his 26th of the year. now 102 rbis and it's 3-0. 3-0. more than enough for clay buchholz. six innings pitched. they'll take it for sure. jackie bradley, a solo shot, his 25th home run of the season. in the seventh inning. very nice to take his power supply services to the front row of the bleachers. sox hang on in game two of a four-game set. game three coming up in the afternoon. i'm josh brogadir. todd: every year, more than a thousand people in lynn need help with housing. they are homeless. antoinette: but now a unique program is defining them in a new way. the eyeopener's emily riemer shows us how. >> this is not normal seeing this gentleman, one shoe on, one shoe off, sleeping or laying on the ground in the middle of the day. that's not normal. reporter: joanne took this photo in boston just outside the main

for her, an unforgettable image because, like the man in that photo, joanne is homeless. >> we see things differently than you may, because, you know, we're treated differently. reporter: that perspective is what the lynn shelter association wants to share. last winter, with a $1,000 grant, the board launched off the grid, a photography program volunteer mentors taught 14 individuals about f-stops and apertures. >> we met with them weekly at the librar c mentors would look at their pictures, give them coaching. we collected about 6,000 pictures reporter: pictures of lynn, pictures of moments in their lives, pictures of how they feel about themselves. the photos are part of a fundraiser for a day center serving the homeless in lynn, a goal that will take several years to reach, but they are determined. >> these people have the same values that we do, and we need to provide what we can to help them to make the most of their

everybody believes in this. it's so necessary. reporter: what do you want people to see when they look at these photos? >> i want them to see that just because you're homeless, you're not hopeless reporter: that fundraiser is tonight at lynn arts. you can buy tickets for $25. all the money raised goes towards the $500,000 needed to open that day center. emily riemer, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: prices at the pump could be on the rise. todd: the trouble in a different and an american man setting a world record. the record he holds and how long he waited to claim it. antoinette: and we go live outside this morning. it is a gorgeous morning for a row on the charles river, as we take a live look from the cambridge side looking over at the city of boston this morning. nice start. 59 degrees. we're warming up today.

todd: it's a wild weather weekend at the museum of science. you want to talk about weather, stop over. get a chance to meet some of our meteorologists. a.j. will be there today at 11:30 and j.c. tomorrow at 11:30. a great opportunity going on there. this morning as you step outside, it was chilly, but we warmed up nicely. close to 60 degrees in a few spots. today is the winner of the

i have rain in the forecast. muggy. cloudy skies in here. perhaps a scattered shower during the afternoon. there could be a rumble of thunder as it moves through. finally clearing by the time we get to tuesday's forecast. todd: thank you. well, speaking of the sky -- an iowa man setting a new world record. antoinette: guinness has named 98-year-old ernie smith the oldest pilot in the world. by five years. he says he plans to keep flying a rented cessna 150 a couple of times a week. of course, weather permitting. keep going, ernie. todd: you asked me earlier if i'd go with him? antoinette: controversy at a new england college. todd: new questions about how the university of new hampshire

good morning. this is newscenter 5's eyeopener. todd: 8:30 and we're up to 60 degrees on this beautiful saturday morning. good morning. good to have you with us. antoinette: what kind of forecaster are you? mike: sorry, sorry. todd: you got the time of the sunrise correct? mike: anyhow, we have a beautiful day coming our wa for tomorrow. check out the current temperatures right now. still holding on to 49 in orange. we have a couple of places drop to the upper 30's. yesterday morning we had a lot of upper 30's. a little warmer this morning than it was yesterday. and tonight will be a little warmer than last night. skies that were out there with a little bit of cloud cover have gone away. we'll be looking at blue skies all day. we're watching this system to the west. that's going to be impacting our

tropical depression julia. it's not going to move up in our direction, but julia is gathering a lot of tropical moisture. then you have this front coming in from the west. all that means is a good chance of seeing rain as we talk about tomorrow night. could even be a rumble of thunder with it. we have 60 degrees right now. 74 degrees by the time we talk about 3:00 this afternoon. clouds later today and a chance of rain tomorrow. i'll have details coming up. antoinette: thank you. we are following breaking news overnight. one person dead a injured after a shooting in dorchester. this happened on wales street near nightingale just after 2:00 this morning. "the globe" reports that one person died on the scene. another victim taken to the hospital by ambulance. and a third victim got to the hospital on his own. todd: donald trump stirring up another controversy. trump now calling for democratic rival hillary clinton's secret service detail to be stripped of their guns and adding, quote, let's see what happens to her.

trump has a pattern of inciting people to violence. antoinette: police are investigating a violent assault in easton. a woman claims she was walking her dog early thursday when she was kicked from behind and then knocked unconscious. police say based on the woman's account, there is some concern that she may have been a victim of a sexual assault. todd: community support in an everett neighborhood after an act of vandalism. an american flag replaced after one there was burned. antoinette: it happened at a convenience store. security cameras capturing images of the suspects. newscenter 5's mary saladna has the latest now on the investigation. >> a lot of people died for that american flag reporter: this store owner is disgusted by the lack of respect and the very real risk. she just reopened her corner market two weeks ago after a destructive fire last year. when she saw fire trucks pull up thursday night around 11:30, she feared the worst. >> the first fire, the awning caught on fire.

it caught my awning on fire again. reporter: what really happened, three young men torched the american flag that used to hang on this utility pole. store surveillance video shows the moment the man set the flag on fire. seconds later, pieces of the burning cloth can be seen raining down. from another camera, video of the trio fleeing the scene. look at the bottom of your screen. at one point, one of the men looks directly at the camera before he runs away. >> it's really awful that they ul it's not right reporter: neighbors are outraged by the vandals. burning an american flag is considered free speech and is protected by the first amendment. but burning someone else's flag is not legal. the culprits could face destruction of property, even arson charges. by late evening, neighbors were righting the wrong. >> no, this is not a neighborhood you're going to mess around with. we're going to replace it. put it back up there where it belongs. reporter: police are still investigating, asking the public for tips. in everett, i'm mary saladna,

row, a worcester football player took a stand by taking a knee during the national anthem. this time, three other teammates joined doherty high school junior michael oppong in his silent protest. last week, oppong explained he was protesting injustice and inequality. he said he was inspired by colin kaepernick, who refused to stand for the anthem. antoinette: rescue crews hard at work on cape cod. 20 dolphins are in danger of stranding themselves in a team from the international fund for animal welfare is now keeping watch. that team has been trying to lead the atlantic white-sided dolphins back into deeper waters. there have been 17 stranded dolphins over the past two days. rescuers say there were so many dolphins, they asked people who were watching from the beach to come and help out. >> when they are in a difficult-to-navigate area like wellfleet harbor can be, you

they all stay together as a group. antoinette: the team says they use acoustics to get those dolphins to swim out of the harbor, a pinging sound that the animals find annoying. todd: a two-day rally for the legalization of marijuana will go on in boston. a judge granted an order forcing the city to approve the permit. "the globe" is reporting tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the weekend rally on boston common. as you know, voters will decide in november if the recreat legal. antoinette: your economy now. national grid customers could be paying more for natural gas this winter, the company asking the department of public utilities for permission to raise prices. if approved, a typical residential natural gas customer could see a roughly $14 increase in monthly bills beginning in november. todd: trouble with a pipeline in alabama may drive our gas prices sharply higher.

gasoline from houston all the way to the northeast, developed a leak this week. part of the pipeline has been shut down for repairs which could raise the price of the pump by as much as 20 cents a gallon. the price spike should be short-lived. the pipeline should be repaired within a week. it was the gift of a lifetime, but how the university of new hampshire is spending that gift is raising some eyebrows. antoinette: newscenter 5's ben simmoneau with the campus controversy reporter: for nearly half a century, robert worked at the library. quietly, the frugal man amassed a $4 million fortune, which he gave entirely to u.n.h. >> he did leave a small portion to the library. beyond that, it was unrestricted reporter: the university says 2.5 million will go to a larger student career center and one million toward a giant video board at the newly renovated wildcat stadium. >> i think he would have been pleased with it

scoreboard, especially because the university is asking the state for millions. >> that money could go towards lowering the cost of education or their capital drive for new stem buildings. >> sometimes i think the university system loses perspective of how much a million dollars is to most of us out there and how far that can go on other things >> u.n.h. says it's heard critic, but it's standing firm, issues a statement saying, in part, quote, a facility like wildcat stadium is transformative to help recruit the best and brightest students. the university has historically invested very little in athletics. it says even the brand-new wildcat stadium is modest when you look at athletic complexes at most other state universities across the country. i'm ben simmoneau, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: a new computer app developed here in boston is helping veterans record their

unveiled the app in easton. he demonstrated how it works by recording an interview with 92-year-old navy veteran arnold marcus. he survived two kamikaze attacks on his ship during world war ii. >> the idea is to be able to spread the word of it and enable people to gain access to it. connect with families members. with friends. to try to make sure these stories aren't lost to time. antoinette: until now, veterans who wanted to archive their recording and then mail it to washington, d.c. the veterans history project app makes it possible to upload the interviews over the internet with just a few clicks, and it is also free. what a great way to preserve those memories and all of that history. todd: absolutely. as we know, all of those soldiers are getting older and older and we're losing them.

forever. antoinette: some determined veterans are a cross-country mission. todd: the awareness they're hoping to bring veterans that are facing. and we've all seen scenes like this. a young child throwing a temper tantrum. wait for it. there you go. what parents can do during those frustrating fits. antoinette: you were saving that for me. the drought is worsening across the state, but that may not be the case across the cape. mike: i'm tracking the chance of rain and possibly thunderstorms,

since 1961, pearle vision has been providing expert eye care. today, we make caring for your eyes even easier. right now, buy one pair of glasses, in your neighborhood.

todd: 8:43 on this saturday children, helping them deal with anger and frustration. just about every child has had a tantrum like this guy, and he's not acting, by the way. doctors say it's important to remember tantrums can happen when children do not know how to express their feelings or they feel they have little control and they're experiencing changes at home or school. parents can help by letting young children make small decisions like what color shirt to wear. doctors added it's important to

a new study finds what observers have been saying all along. pokemon go players may be putting themselves and others at risk. researchers at san diego state university analyzed 4,000 tweets referencing the game during a 10-day period. 33% of those tweets indicated that a driver, passenger, or a walker was involved with a car while distracted by that game. researchers then looked at news reports over this same 10-day period, and they found 14 car crashes attributed to the poem monday play. todd: as the drought worsens across the state, one expert says the cape is doing just fine. the superintendent of the dennis water district tells the "cape cod times" that the area's water supply is in good shape. he adds that water conditions, including rainfall and well depth, are normal for the summer. but state officials disagree and have put the cape and islands on a watch. antoinette: your map is showing that area is still under a

that have done it better than others, maybe better in the reservoirs. everywhere we need rain. let me show you the drought monitor. this is something we've been keeping track of, pushing the drought monitor since the late 1990's. this is as dry as it's shown up. boston, worcester, 10 inches dry for the year. even those areas that are in relatively good shape are under extremely dry conditions when you look out west. this is dry, dry stuff we have. we need a good week we're going to get decent showers tomorrow night into monday. not a drought buster, but every drop helps at this point. 58 degrees right now with a southwesterly breeze. the air is dry. that's one of the things you've noticed as well. humidity has been very manageable. humidity is going to come back up tomorrow. what about today? today we have 72 degrees for a high temperature, rockport, with that southerly breeze across the water, keeping things cooler on cape ann.

worcester county into the 70's. south shore, you'll enjoy temperatures close to the 80's. down to the south again, blowing across buzzard's bay, it's cool. nantucket 72 for a high temperature this afternoon. overnight tonight, we have clouds coming in. we have a little more humidity coming in. notice what happens to the temperatures. they don't drop off as dramatically as last night or the night before. let's talk about the rain for tomorrow. it's out to the west. you can see it gathering strength. we're seeing pretty good showers and thunderstorms from detroit moving to cleveland right now just south of buffalo. this will be moving in here. we'll see the cloud deck tomorrow. i think the showers will be in the afternoon. but the really steadier rains not until after midnight. wake up tomorrow morning, hit and miss showers. most of us won't see anything. one or two places may get isolated showers. same for the afternoon.
