  declaring, I'm not a crook, while defending his
• 0:26
  conduct amid intense political scrutiny and legal

• 2:49
  End, is on a mission to transform the neighborhood's
• 2:52
  entrance into a vibrant Italian cultural hub.
• 2:56
  He plans to convert an abandoned space on Cross
• 2:58
  Street into a multi -purpose building with a
• 3:01
  culinary school, travel agency, coffee shop and
• 3:05
  retail stores. DePasquale believes this project
• 3:09
  will create the greatest entrance. For a neighborhood,
• 3:12
  he deeply loves and aims to enhance its business
• 3:15
  climate. He is also working on establishing a
• 3:18
  historical museum to celebrate the North End's
• 3:21
  rich 400 -year history, which has been long desired
• 3:24
  by the community. Construction began this summer
• 3:28
  with hopes to complete the project by next summer,
• 3:31
  coinciding with the arrival of the 2026 World
• 3:34
  Cup. Now on to sports. The Eagles sealed a victory
• 3:44
  with help of a late pass interference call. Rakiasen
• 3:49
  was in shock after being called for pass interference
• 3:52
  late in the fourth quarter, giving the Eagles
• 3:55
  a first down to seal the game. Jalen Hurts scored
• 3:59
  the only touchdown in an otherwise weak effort
• 4:01
  from the Philadelphia Eagles offense, leading
• 4:04
  them to a 16 -9 win over the Detroit Lions. The
• 4:09
  Eagles are the only team in the NFC East with
• 4:12
  more than three wins, putting them in contention
• 4:14
  for the top seed in the conference. The Lions
• 4:18
  failed to convert on five fourth -down attempts.
• 4:22
  In local sports, the Celtics survived a late
• 4:26
  scare, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 121 -118.
• 4:32
  They nearly squandered a 24 -point lead. but
• 4:35
  held on against James Harden's clutch performance,
• 4:39
  securing their second straight win and improving
• 4:42
  to seven wins and seven losses on the season.
• 4:46
  Jalen Brown led the Celtics with 33 points and
• 4:49
  12 rebounds, while Peyton Pritchard contributed
• 4:52
  30 points. The Seas opened strong, but faced
• 4:56
  a fierce Clippers comeback, cutting their lead
• 4:59
  to just one point in the closing seconds. Despite
• 5:03
  a missed buzzer beater from Harden, the Celtics
• 5:06
  escaped with the victory. In top news, it is
• 5:11
  time to retire the lufa. While using one can
• 5:15
  feel satisfying, it might be doing more harm
• 5:18
  than good. Facial plastic surgeon Lara Duggan
• 5:22
  stated that lufas trap dead skin cells, water,
• 5:26
  and bacteria. This creates a perfect environment
• 5:31
  for microbes increasing the risk of breakouts
• 5:33
  and skin inflammation. Dermatologist Toral Vadia
• 5:38
  warned that over -exfoliation can strip the skin
• 5:41
  of its natural oils. For best results, use your
• 5:46
  hands or a soft washcloth. In business news,

• 6:18
  from hawkish comments as several federal open
• 6:21
  market committee members indicated a rate cut
• 6:23
