1
00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>This is WBT, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Blue skies, breezy, twenty one degrees. That's it in Boston.

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>It's a chilly, clear Monday. We're warming up though midweek.

4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.079
<v Speaker 2>More on that coming up, but first, the Mayor of

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Boston coming under withering criticism on social media for giving

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>condolences to the family of an armed man who's stormed

7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>into the back Bay Chick fil A and tried to

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>stab two people. An off duty police officer shot and

9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>killed the suspect. The restaurant is closed today, and Suffolk

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>County DA Kevin Hayden says he has reason to believe

11
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 2>that others may have been involved in what led up

12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to that violence. Mayor Michelle Woos's trauma services are available

13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>throughout the city of Boston. But again, people in Boston

14
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and nationwide have been really commenting quite a bit, and

15
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>Alavid is negative on the Mayor's comments. We'll be following

16
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>up on that shortly. After being delayed for about a month,

17
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>sweeping tariffs on neighboring Mexico and Canada are expected to

18
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>go into effect tomorrow, along with another tariff on China.

19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>The move includes twenty five percent tariffs on both of

20
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>America's neighbors and another ten percent tariff as I said

21
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>on China. So how will these terriffs impact US consumers?

22
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Alexis christoffers with that.

23
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about perishable items like fresh fruits and vegetables,

24
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 3>including avocados, tomatoes, bell peppers, also baked goods, cereals, and pasta,

25
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 3>as well as beef and some seafood from Canada. And

26
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>if you're in the market for a new car, analysts

27
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 3>say the tariffs could add up to at least three

28
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars more on that price. That includes, by the way,

29
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 3>domestic cars.

30
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Is this set in Stone well? Commerce Secretary Lutnick says

31
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>the situation right now is fluid. We'll see in the

32
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Middle East, Israel and Kamas or at odds again over

33
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the next steps of a ceasefire deal. Growing concerns now

34
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that the fighting could resume in Gaza. Israel wants to

35
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 2>extend phase one of the original ceasefire deal that expired

36
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>this last weekend. Hamas wants to move forward to the

37
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>second phase. We get more from ABC News. Israel responding

38
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>by cutting off all aid to Gaza.

39
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 4>The sticking points are really the full withdrawal of all

40
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 4>IDF troops from Gaza and this permanency's fire. Israel has

41
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 4>yet to commit to either of those things. There are

42
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>critics who say that Netanyahu is really trying to delay

43
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 4>talks to end the war. They're calling this move to

44
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 4>block all aid going into Gaza cheap blackmail. And on

45
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 4>the flip side, we're hearing the Israelis threatening further consequences

46
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 4>if negotiations go nowhere.

47
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>And again, world leaders gathered for someone on ending the

48
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>war in Ukraine this weekend. In the UK, the British

49
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister and other European leaders committed to helping Ukrainian

50
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>President Voladimir Zelenski in the war against Russia, on the

51
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>heels of a contentious White House meeting with President Trump

52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and Vice President Vance Wendy. Lots of sun high thirty

53
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>one clear to partley, cloudy tonight twenty five in Boston,

54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>upper teens Inland, and then tomorrow we're warming up again.

55
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>We have a few really warm days. They're not all

56
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>sunny days. Tomorrow's Sunday forty seven are high. Wednesday, we're

57
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 2>looking at a little rain and then a lot of rain,

58
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>even some thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday. We're looking at

59
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>near sixty each day. Another big name is making his

60
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>return to Boston. Wdbz's Drumahoaland reports Eric Clapton is coming

61
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>to Cosway's Street.

62
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 5>Just announced, Eric Clapton will play Boston Garden Tuesday, September sixteen.

63
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 5>Old Slohan last played the Garden in September of twenty

64
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 5>twenty two. All the US states are being an ounce

65
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 5>today and there are not many at the moment. It

66
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 5>is a limited run where in a one week span,

67
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.680

<v Speaker 5>Madison Square Garden that Friday, and then Mohegan Sun on Saturday.

<v Speaker 5>sale Friday.

71
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>BZ. We have an update on Stop and Shop. They

72
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>reached a deal with workers over the weekend and each

73
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>side is standing down. The union says the six year

74
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>new contract ensures that the Freetown warehouse remains open and

75
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>that saves about nine hundred Stop and Shop jobs. It

76
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>also raises wages and benefits. Governor Morheey praising the teamsters

77
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>for standing by the food workers to ensure the good

78
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>paying jobs stay In Massachusetts, federal workers are once again

79
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>being asked to email their bosses what they did last week.

80
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>ABC Selena Wang is.

81
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 1>That deadline and do not address whether or not replying

82
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>would lead to possible job loss. The Musk saying those

83
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>who fail to respond will be fired, writing on X

84
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>the President has made it clear that this is mandatory

85
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for the executive branch.

86
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 2>And this story now above fired workers. Some fired federal

88
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night before a joint session of Congress. The White

89
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>House is accusing Democratic lawmakers of exploiting the American people

90
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>for political points. Here other Democrats are skipping the speech

91
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>altogether as a protest. Join us tomorrow night at nine pm.
