  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, Stoughton
• 2:52
  Police Chief Donna McNamara has filed a lawsuit
• 2:55
  against the town of Stoughton and town manager
• 2:58
  Thomas Kalter amid a weeks -long dispute over
• 3:01
  her position at the police department. The lawsuit
• 3:05
  filed in Norfolk County Superior Court claims
• 3:08
  that town officials have violated McNamara's
• 3:11
  contract by prohibiting Chief McNamara from doing
• 3:14
  her duties even though today they have provided
• 3:17
  no lawful reason to do so. Coulter has denied
• 3:21
  these allegations, stating that he has remained
• 3:24
  silent out of respect for McNamara. The Stoughton
• 3:28
  Select Board met recently to discuss complaints
• 3:30
  against both McNamara and Coulter, emphasizing
• 3:33
  their commitment to a fair and thorough process.
• 3:42
  Now on to sports. Jimall Adams joined the Vikings
• 3:46
  just before training camp began. On Wednesday,
• 3:50
  he expressed his excitement to Minnesota reporters
• 3:53
  for the first time. Adams was drawn to Minnesota
• 3:56
  by general manager Nolan Teasley and defensive
• 4:00
  coordinator Brian Flores, both of whom he respects
• 4:03
  greatly. Now in his 10th National Football League
• 4:07
  season, Adams believes the sky's the limit for
• 4:10
  his career. He is focused on fully recovering
• 4:13
  from a quad tendon tear suffered in week one
• 4:16
  of the 2022 season. Adams is currently learning
• 4:20
  the terminology of the Minnesota defense and
• 4:23
  is eager to showcase his flexibility in various
• 4:26
  positions. In local sports, the Red Sox head
• 4:30
  to Oakland tonight for Game 4 against the Athletics,
• 4:34
  looking to clinch the series after a 4 -2 win
• 4:36
  Wednesday. Boston leads 2 -1, and they're riding
• 4:41
  a 7 -win stretch in their last 10. Sonny Gray
• 4:45
  takes the mound at 940 as the Sox try to build
• 4:48
  momentum on this road trip. They're 56 and 51
• 4:52
  on the season, fighting to stay competitive in
• 4:55
  the AL East. The bats have been sharp against
• 4:58
  Oakland's struggling pitching. Patrick Sandoval
• 5:02
  was strong in yesterday's win, going five innings
• 5:05
  while striking out seven. Andrew Monasterio was
• 5:09
  the standout. going three for four with two RBS
• 5:13
  and a home run. Jimmie Jones also went deep,
• 5:17
  and the lineup showed real consistency, exactly
• 5:20
  what Boston needs down the stretch. There's some
• 5:24
  noise on the roster front, though. Jaron Duran
• 5:27
  was benched Wednesday, and his name surfacing
• 5:30
  in trade deadline rumors as the Sox work to solidify
• 5:33
  their outfield, with Roman Anthony expected back
• 5:36
  soon. With just four days until the August 3rd
• 5:40
  deadline, expect more moves as Chad Tracy and
• 5:44
  the front office make final adjustments. That
• 5:47
  16 -game winning streak earlier this month got
• 5:50
  Boston back in contention. Tonight's a chance
• 5:53
  to keep that momentum rolling. In top news, 60
• 5:59
  Minutes announces a new slate of correspondents
• 6:02
  for its upcoming season. Two months after a major
• 6:06
  shakeup, CBS' 60 Minutes has hired several new
• 6:10
  correspondents and contributors for its 59th
• 6:13
  season. Joining the team are Ross Douthat, a
• 6:16
  conservative opinion columnist from the New York
• 6:19
  Times, and Nora O'Donnell, the former anchor
• 6:22
  of CBS Evening News. The new executive producer,
• 6:27
  Nick Bilton, shared this news in a staff memo.
• 6:30
  He praised Dothat as one of the preeminent public

• 6:37
  a powerhouse. The show continues to navigate

  ignored Beijing's restrained position on product
• 7:01
  bans, according to China's Commerce Ministry.
• 7:05
  The commission added foreign -made advanced robotic
• 7:08
  devices, including humanoids, to a list restricting
• 7:11
  imports due to cybersecurity concerns. China's
• 7:16
  Commerce Ministry urged the United States to
• 7:18
  withdraw the decision, threatening countermeasures
• 7:21
  if it does not comply. Tensions over technology
• 7:25
  have intensified, with U .S. President Donald
• 7:28
  Trump indicating a more cautious approach to
• 7:31
  maintain American technology leadership. Chinese
• 7:35

  future generations of scientists. And in entertainment
