This week, evictions in New Bedford and the South Coast could soar with a key federal protection ending. The Steamship Authority says they did not pay a ransom after a cyber attack crippled their online infrastructure. And a turbine that harnesses the energy of the tides.

These are the top stories discussed on the Friday News Round Up with guest host, Sam Houghton.

This week's guests include CAI’s Eve Zuckoff and Daniel Ackerman; Noah Asimow at the Vineyard Gazette; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; KC Myers at the Provincetown Independent; Jessica Hill with the Cape Cod Times; Jack Spillane with the New Bedford Light; George Brennan of the Martha’s Vineyard Times; and CAI’s Kathryn Eident and Mike Deehan talk news from the Statehouse.
