Speaker 1: This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2: Cloudy in forty four degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Suzanne Sosville. Thanks for joining us. Here's
Speaker 2: what's happening. It looks like three public high schools and
Speaker 2: an elementary school in Boston will be shutting down. The
Speaker 2: Boston School Committee last night approved the controversial closures. According
Speaker 2: to the Globe, The committee also voted five to one
Speaker 2: to merge two more schools. This means at the end
Speaker 2: of next school year, Community Academy and Jamaica Plaine Excel
Speaker 2: High School in South Boston, Mary Lyon Pilot High School
Speaker 2: in Austin Brighton, and Paula A. Dever Elementary School in
Speaker 2: Dorchester will shut down. The plan effects about thirteen hundred students.
Speaker 2: President Trump's billionaire advisor, Elon Musk, visits the Pentagon today.
Speaker 2: ABC's Martha Raditz says Musk might be learning some of
Speaker 2: the country's most guarded secrets.
Speaker 3: The New York Times had reported that Elon Musk would
Speaker 3: be briefed at the Pentagon top secret plans for any
Speaker 3: potential war with China, which would be an extraordinary expansion
Speaker 3: beyond the doge responsibilities given his business connections to China
Speaker 3: and the fact that those are very closely held secrets.
Speaker 3: But overnight, a fury of denials from the Trump administration,
Speaker 3: the President claiming the story is completely untrue, and Elon
Speaker 3: Musk calling the story pure propaganda, saying leakers will be prosecuted.
Speaker 2: Defense Secretary Pete Hegsas says today's visit is focused on innovation,
Speaker 2: efficiencies and smarter production. A federal judge is still waiting
Speaker 2: on the Trump administration to release more information about deportations.
Speaker 2: This past weekend, Judge Jeb Bosberg gave the Trump administration
Speaker 2: an until noon yesterday to provide answers, but Bosberg says
Speaker 2: the information he got was woefully insufficient. This all comes
Speaker 2: after the Trump administration sent flights full of Venezuelan migrants
Speaker 2: to El Salvador. ABC's Terry Moran has more.
Speaker 4: Attorneys for Jersey Reyes Barrios, a professional soccer player from
Speaker 4: Venezuela with no criminal record, say he was apparently one
Speaker 4: of the men sent to El Salvador. His attorneys says
Speaker 4: Barrios came to the United States border legally seeking a
Speaker 4: sign Lemon September twenty twenty four, but he was accused
Speaker 4: of being a gang member by law enforcement because of
Speaker 4: his tattoos. Clena Portu, speaking to ABC News, Barrios Aunt
Speaker 4: says his tattoos are inspired by soccer. It's not just
Speaker 4: the president who gets the last word, she says.
Speaker 2: The flights took off on Saturday as President Trump invoked
Speaker 2: a law from the eighteenth century that gives him broad
Speaker 2: wartime powers to speed up deportations. He threw airport in
Speaker 2: London still shut down after a fire earlier. Today, the
Speaker 2: power is out at the airport and it's not clear
Speaker 2: when it might be restored. ABC's Marcus Morris says this
Speaker 2: could create travel disruptions for days.
Speaker 5: The assumption would be that they would just need to
Speaker 5: get the power back up and running, flip a switch,
Speaker 5: so to speak. But obviously they have to do some repairs,
Speaker 5: and then there are systems that have to be rebooted,
Speaker 5: and once they're rebooted and back online, they have to
Speaker 5: ensure that those systems are stable.
Speaker 2: Flight Aware says two flights from Logan to Heathrow have
Speaker 2: been canceled. Coming up. Everything you need to know as
Speaker 2: you search for that shiny new apartment. Windy and cloudy,
Speaker 2: with some breaks for sun this afternoon. High forty nine Tonight,
Speaker 2: mainly clear skies and those March winds still blowing. Low
Speaker 2: thirty seven Tomorrow, a mix of sun and clouds. Still breezy,
Speaker 2: but warmer, highs fifty seven to sixty one, lower fifties
Speaker 2: for the Capan Islands. On Sunday, mostly sunny, a few
Speaker 2: clouds here and there, but cooler and still breathing at times.
Speaker 2: Highs in the mid forties. On Monday, cloudy with rain
Speaker 2: likely perhaps mixed with snow for a time in some
Speaker 2: inland locations. High forty eight. Right now in Boston it's
Speaker 2: cloudy and forty five degrees. It's that time again. Renters
Speaker 2: are looking for new places to move into. On September first,
Speaker 2: wbz's Emma Friedman has everything we need to know.
Speaker 6: It's like a game of renter roulette.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the data is interesting. I think we're shaping up
Speaker 1: to be somewhat similar to last year. I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll see huge increases in rent I don't think it's there.
Speaker 6: CEO of Boston Pads Demetrio Selpaglo says, in just a
Speaker 6: few weeks all the cards will be on the table,
Speaker 6: but that doesn't guarantee the best deal. With some of
Speaker 6: the cheaper fines appearing over the summer.
Speaker 1: If you have a strong group, you have a better
Speaker 1: chance of negotiating great terms. Now, the earlier you start
Speaker 1: in your search, the better chance you have of negotiating terms.
Speaker 6: Based on the live property data from thousands of apartments,
Speaker 6: more and more are going up each day.
Speaker 1: So let's say you see alenla Da just dropped the price,
Speaker 1: you probably want to jump on that one real quick
Speaker 1: because that's getting noticed very fast.
Speaker 6: So Paglo says, for a one bedroom apartment, you'll find
Speaker 6: the best deal in West Roxbury. I'm a freedman, WBZ,
Speaker 6: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Federal officials are calling for safety evaluations of sixty eight
Speaker 2: bridges across the country, including three in Massachusetts. This after
Speaker 2: the devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 2: Last year. The NTSB identified the Tobin, Sagamore and Bourne
Speaker 2: Bridges as needing vulnerability assessments. They want to see their
Speaker 2: risk of collapse. Other bridges on the list included the
Speaker 2: Golden Gate Bridge in California and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge
Speaker 2: in Florida. Consumer safety experts have a new warning for parents.
Speaker 7: A knockoff handbag is one thing. A knockoff car seat
Speaker 7: quite another.
Speaker 8: If it's a dupe of a car seat, your baby
Speaker 8: might not survive a crash that they could have survived.
Speaker 7: Old safety experts like doctor Alissa Bayer say counterfeit car
Speaker 7: seats are flooding online retailer ABC News showing doctor Bear
Speaker 7: a couple of seats listed on Amazon and TMU.
Speaker 8: I am not seeing any mention of the brand name.
