  In local news, Matt Damon hopes to see Robin Williams honored with a goodwill-hunting statue
• 2:40
  in Boston's public garden.
• 2:43
  Speaking with journalist Jake Hamilton, Damon, age 53, shared that an artist proposed a bronze
• 2:50
  statue of the late Williams, who passed away in August 2014 at 63 years old.
• 2:58
  Damon believes it would be the most beautiful installation, and a fitting tribute.
• 3:04
  The statue would be placed next to the bench where they filmed a memorable scene from the
• 3:08
  1997 movie.
• 3:11
  Damon also fondly recalled working with Williams, noting his impressive off-book performance.
• 3:22
  Now on to sports.
• 3:24
  The New England Patriots are at the heart of speculation regarding a potential trade
• 3:29
  for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Iyuk.
• 3:34
  For the entire off-season, the Patriots have shown significant interest in acquiring a
• 3:39
  top receiver.
• 3:41
  Linebacker Gerard Mayo commented on the rumors, neither confirming nor denying the trade's
• 3:47
  progress.
• 3:48
  The Patriots are highly motivated, especially after missing out on Calvin Ridley.
• 3:54
  With Iyuk catching 75, passes for 1,342 yards, and seven touchdowns last season, the Patriots
• 4:03
  hope to secure him, potentially making him one of the highest paid receivers in the league.
• 4:09
  In local sports, the Red Sox on the road beat the Royals 7-2.
• 4:17
  And tonight, they're back at it for the final game of the series.
• 4:23
  In top news, dog owners are facing new challenges due to updated travel rules from the Centers
• 4:30
  for Disease Control and Prevention.
• 4:33
  As of August 1, new regulations have taken effect to prevent the reintroduction of rabies
• 4:39
  into the United States.
• 4:41
  Dogs must be over six months old, microchipped, and have proper documentation.
• 4:47
  Travelers from high-risk countries must follow stricter protocols, including entering through
• 4:52
  designated animal care facilities at six major airports.
• 4:58
  Environmental precautions, such as a 28-day quarantine or a blood test, may apply.
• 5:04
  These rules align with the World Organization for Animal Health Standards, aiming to reduce
• 5:09
  fraudulent documentation and control rabies.
• 5:14
  In business news, Airbnb forecasts lower third-quarter revenue due to economic worries, prompting
• 5:22
  last-minute bookings.

• 7:10
  And now back to the show.
• 7:13
  Let's talk tech.
• 7:16
  Apple's upcoming MaxOS Sequoia will bring a significant change for users of screenshot
• 7:21
  and screen recording apps.
• 7:25
  Starting this fall, these apps will require weekly permission prompts, as well as prompts
• 7:29
  after each reboot.
• 7:31
  This means users will need to explicitly allow access to their screens and audio more frequently.
• 7:38
  While some initially thought this was a bug, Apple has confirmed it is a deliberate feature.
• 7:44
  This update will impact various third-party apps, including CleanShot X, Discord, Zoom,
• 7:50
  and Slack.
• 7:52
  Developers can adopt special API to avoid these prompts, though it is not compatible
• 7:57
  with most current apps.
• 8:00
  And in entertainment news, Zac Efron experienced a minor swimming incident while vacationing
• 8:09
  with friends in Ibiza, Spain, leading to his hospitalization.
• 8:14
  The actor, aged 36, ingested water into his lungs after hitting the bottom of a pool.
• 8:21
  Villa security assisted in pulling him out of the water.
• 8:25
  Efron, who was momentarily dazed, was taken to the hospital as a precaution, where x-rays
• 8:31
  confirmed his lungs were clear.
• 8:33
  He waited at the hospital until paparazzi left.
• 8:37
  Efron assured fans he is happy and healthy.
• 8:41
  His latest film, A Family Affair, was released on Netflix in June.
• 8:47
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 8:53
  And today, our quote comes from the American politician and the 39th President of the United
• 8:58
  States, Jimmy Carter.
• 9:01
  And he said,
• 9:03
  America did not invent human rights.
• 9:07
  In a very real sense, human rights invented America.
• 9:12
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
