Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.



Armed men from Congo burst into a pub in the tiny African nation of Burundi and killed 36 people, an official said Monday. Burundi, still reeling from a civil war that killed more than 250,000 people, is awash in weapons, but attacks like the one Sunday night are rare. The armed men were believed to be angry over threats involving a large bar tab.


Union leaders said Monday they reached a tentative deal with some of Southern California's largest grocery chains that would head off the threat of a strike by more than 60,000 workers. The deal, which must be approved by the union's membership, protects workers' health policies, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324 president Fred Conger said. "We were successful in bargaining an agreement that grocery workers can be proud of," Conger said. If a deal cannot be reached they will bring in 5,000 Mexicans to replace the 60,000 striking workers to do double the work for half the price.



When Wendy's decided to remake it's 42-year old-hamburger, the chain agonized over every detail. Project Gold Hamburger took more than two years, and on Monday the chain rolled out Dave's Hot 'N Juicy. The burger features extra cheese, a thicker beef patty, a buttered bun, red onions and crinkled pickles. It will also cause a heart attack in two thirds the amount of time it usually takes to cause one. That's what we here at WSCB call "fast food."


From the folks at WSCB have a great evening. Stay hydrated.
