00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZY, Boston's news radio. We defining local news

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Another day on the stock market slide, although today felt

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot more like a roller coaster. In fact,

6
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>we may even finally land up on at least one

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of the markets. Bloomberg's Tracy Junkie is here with us.

8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I know these numbers got to settle, but the Nasdaq

9
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>may have escaped with a wind today.

10
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 3>It just might have been fifteen points higher as we

11
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 3>watch for the settle. The Dell, however, down three hundred

12
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 3>and fifty, yes, down twelve points. The dew at the worst, however,

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 3>was down seventeen hundred points. Investors heard it from the

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 3>President himself last hour there will be no pressing pause

15
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>on the sweeping tariffs set to begin on Wednesday. Rumors

16
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 3>of a ninety day pause earlier had powered in a

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 3>state founding twenty six hundred point in Dow swing to

18
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 3>the upside, and though we did see some losses return,

19
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the market definitely did not abandon all hope.

20
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Ben all right a better day, even though two of

21
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the three finished down will have more reaction coming up

22
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>throughout the afternoon on WBZ. Meantime at the White House

23
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is rarely. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is there meeting with

24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>President Trump. Netanyahu says he is going to tear down

25
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>trade barriers with the US.

26
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States.

27
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 3>We intend to do it very quickly. We think it's

28
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 3>the right thing to do.

29
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Then Yahoo adds Israel wants to be a close trading

30
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>partner with the US. President Trump says the tariffs will

31
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 2>soon make America wealthier and stronger. The President also saying

32
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>he's communicated directly with Iran and says Orreny in fact,

33
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>militia groups need to disarm immediately.

34
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be

35
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 4>preferable to doing the obvious, and the obvious is not

36
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 4>something that I want to be involved with, or frankly,

37
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 4>that isuer ones to be involved with if they can

38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 4>avoid it. So we're going to see if we can

39
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 4>avoid it.

40
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>President Trump has hinted at military action is if a

41
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>deal is not struck. Following the revocation of visas of

42
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>three Harvard international students and two recent grads. The universities

43
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>out with a statement saying they deeply value the international

44
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>students and scholars who travel here to learn and grow.

45
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Those who had visas revoked had not been publicly identified.

46
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>The school says they learned of the revocations during the

47
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>routine records check and says we are not aware of

48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the tales of the revocations or the reasons for them.

49
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration has said it may target foreign born

50
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>students if they are considered a threat to national security.

51
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>In several of the reported cases detailed, students have not

52
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>been charged with a crime, supporters arguing their only offense

53
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>appears to concern their activism. Speaking of the students, Harvard

54
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>says the talent they bring to campus each day increases

55
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>our ability to advance world class discovery in fields that

56
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>have meaningful impacts on people's lives. A couple of agency

57
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>board members fired by the president can return to work

58
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>for now, so says a court.

59
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 5>The seven to four ruling comes from an appeals court

60
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 5>regarding the status of Merit Systems Protection Board member Kathy

61
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Harris and National Labor Relations Board member Gwynn Willcox. Government

62
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 5>lawyers say President Trump has the final say on firing

63
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 5>such board members and reinstating them undermines his authority. The

64
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 5>case will likely head to the Supreme Court when Needel

65
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 5>that CBS News.

66
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Court's over for the day. In Denham, jury selection continues

67
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Karen Reid case. CBS News boss and says

68
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>no new jurors were added today, which means there are

69
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>still ten jurors seated out of the sixteen needed for

70
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>opening statements to begin. There's been some rain and showers

71
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>around out the western part of the state. Have been

72
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 2>some snowflakes mixed in, and that may be the deal

73
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>for some of the even closer suburbs later tonight, north

74
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and west of the city, where temperatures may be just

75
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>cold enough to bring us a snow shower or two.

76
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>There'll be some showers of the regular nature around as well.

77
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Thirty six. The low downtown will be in the lower thirties.

78
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>In some of the inland suburbs. Tomorrow, it's a mostly

79
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>cloudy morning. There'll be a little bit of rain shower activity,

80
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe a snow shower in a few spots. The wind's

81
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>going to start to pick up and blow around pretty

82
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>good as well as we head into the afternoon. There'll

83
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 2>be some clouds in sun then temperatures though only in

84
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>the low forties, mainly cleared chilly Tomorrow night thirty in Boston,

85
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 2>but mid twenties and the colder suburbs. We get a

86
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>little better on Wednesday with some sunshine, temperatures in the

87
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 2>upper forties, some sun giving way to clouds. Thursday near fifty.

88
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Right now forty nine degrees in Boston. Did I say

89
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 2>forty nine? I wish thirty nine degrees in Boston. It's

90
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 2>dinner with the side of nostalgia in Shrewsbury, one restaurant

91
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>back in business.

92
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 6>Maybe you lived it or just heard the stories, but

93
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 6>in the eighties and nineties it was all about munching

94
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 6>on popcorn and peanuts while watching cartoons. And now, after

95
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 6>a decade long hiatus, the ground around his back.

96
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 7>Post photos of whatever it may be, and say remember

97
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 7>when and when someone did it with the ground round,

98
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 7>there would be thousands of comments on it.

99
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 6>Nagie and Joseph shared the new owners here at the

100
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 6>restaurant off Route nine. Right now, they're serving up dinner

101
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 6>ahead of a grand opening later this month, and it's

102
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 6>very different from the local ground round that we had

103
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 6>in terms of infrastructure itself, but somehow it still felt

104
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 6>like a ground round The place satisfies that nostalgic itch

105
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 6>walking in the door to see a vintage popcorn machine,

106
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 6>but with some updates showing a sign at the times on.

107
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 7>The old days they played black and white cartoons, we

108
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 7>are playing like eighties nineties cartoons because the way we

109
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 7>look at it, the generation that was there as kids,

110
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 7>that's the cartoons they would.

111
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 6>Have watched in Shrewsbury. Emma Friedman WBZ, Boston's news radio.

112
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>All Lives will be on Springfield in September. The latest

113
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Basketball Hall of Fame class will get enshrined. Then a

114
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Smith Basketball Hall of Fame announcing not inductees that will

115
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>be celebrated on September fifth and sixth. That one of

116
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>the inductees is actually more than one, really the two

117
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eight US Olympic Men's basketball team. Sports teams

118
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>retire jersey numbers based on how good the players were.

119
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Hurricanes get retired depending on how bad the storms were.

120
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Several storm names from the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins

121
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>are retired after the destruction they caused. In twenty twenty four.

122
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 8>Retired names include Beryl, Helene, Milton, and John replaced by Brianna, Holly,

123
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 8>Maguil and Jake. The twenty twenty four Atlantic hurricane season

124
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 8>marked the ninth consecutive year of above average activity, and

125
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 8>the year ahead could bring more dangerous storms, as experts

126
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 8>predict seventeen named storms, nine hurricanes, and four of them

127
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 8>are expected to be Category three or stronger. The above

128
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 8>average activity is anticipated due to warmer Atlantic waters and

129
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 8>uncertain al Nino conditions.

130
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.240
