00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Cloudy in forty four degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock.

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, I'm Suzanne Sosville. Thanks for joining us. Here's

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>what's happening. It looks like three public high schools and

5
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 2>an elementary school in Boston will be shutting down. The

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Boston School Committee last night approved the controversial closures. According

7
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Globe, The committee also voted five to one

8
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to merge two more schools. This means at the end

9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>of next school year, Community Academy and Jamaica Plaine Excel

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>High School in South Boston, Mary Lyon Pilot High School

11
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in Austin Brighton, and Paula A. Dever Elementary School in

12
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Dorchester will shut down. The plan effects about thirteen hundred students.

13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>President Trump's billionaire advisor, Elon Musk, visits the Pentagon today.

14
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Martha Raditz says Musk might be learning some of

15
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>the country's most guarded secrets.

16
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>The New York Times had reported that Elon Musk would

17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 3>be briefed at the Pentagon top secret plans for any

18
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>potential war with China, which would be an extraordinary expansion

19
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 3>beyond the doge responsibilities given his business connections to China

20
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 3>and the fact that those are very closely held secrets.

21
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 3>But overnight, a fury of denials from the Trump administration,

22
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 3>the President claiming the story is completely untrue, and Elon

23
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 3>Musk calling the story pure propaganda, saying leakers will be prosecuted.

24
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Defense Secretary Pete Hegsas says today's visit is focused on innovation,

25
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>efficiencies and smarter production. A federal judge is still waiting

26
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>on the Trump administration to release more information about deportations.

27
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>This past weekend, Judge Jeb Bosberg gave the Trump administration

28
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 2>an until noon yesterday to provide answers, but Bosberg says

29
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the information he got was woefully insufficient. This all comes

30
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>after the Trump administration sent flights full of Venezuelan migrants

31
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to El Salvador. ABC's Terry Moran has more.

32
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Attorneys for Jersey Reyes Barrios, a professional soccer player from

33
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 4>Venezuela with no criminal record, say he was apparently one

34
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 4>of the men sent to El Salvador. His attorneys says

35
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 4>Barrios came to the United States border legally seeking a

36
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>sign Lemon September twenty twenty four, but he was accused

37
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 4>of being a gang member by law enforcement because of

38
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 4>his tattoos. Clena Portu, speaking to ABC News, Barrios Aunt

39
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 4>says his tattoos are inspired by soccer. It's not just

40
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 4>the president who gets the last word, she says.

41
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>The flights took off on Saturday as President Trump invoked

42
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>a law from the eighteenth century that gives him broad

43
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>wartime powers to speed up deportations. He threw airport in

44
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>London still shut down after a fire earlier. Today, the

45
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>power is out at the airport and it's not clear

46
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>when it might be restored. ABC's Marcus Morris says this

47
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>could create travel disruptions for days.

48
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 5>The assumption would be that they would just need to

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 5>get the power back up and running, flip a switch,

50
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 5>so to speak. But obviously they have to do some repairs,

51
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 5>and then there are systems that have to be rebooted,

52
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 5>and once they're rebooted and back online, they have to

53
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 5>ensure that those systems are stable.

54
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Flight Aware says two flights from Logan to Heathrow have

55
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>been canceled. Coming up. Everything you need to know as

56
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you search for that shiny new apartment. Windy and cloudy,

57
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>with some breaks for sun this afternoon. High forty nine Tonight,

58
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>mainly clear skies and those March winds still blowing. Low

59
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven Tomorrow, a mix of sun and clouds. Still breezy,

60
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>but warmer, highs fifty seven to sixty one, lower fifties

61
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for the Capan Islands. On Sunday, mostly sunny, a few

62
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>clouds here and there, but cooler and still breathing at times.

63
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Highs in the mid forties. On Monday, cloudy with rain

64
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>likely perhaps mixed with snow for a time in some

65
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>inland locations. High forty eight. Right now in Boston it's

66
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>cloudy and forty five degrees. It's that time again. Renters

67
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>are looking for new places to move into. On September first,

68
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Emma Friedman has everything we need to know.

69
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 6>It's like a game of renter roulette.

70
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the data is interesting. I think we're shaping up

71
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to be somewhat similar to last year. I don't think

72
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll see huge increases in rent I don't think it's there.

73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 6>CEO of Boston Pads Demetrio Selpaglo says, in just a

74
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 6>few weeks all the cards will be on the table,

75
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 6>but that doesn't guarantee the best deal. With some of

76
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 6>the cheaper fines appearing over the summer.

77
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>If you have a strong group, you have a better

78
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 1>chance of negotiating great terms. Now, the earlier you start

79
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 1>in your search, the better chance you have of negotiating terms.

80
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 6>Based on the live property data from thousands of apartments,

81
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 6>more and more are going up each day.

82
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>So let's say you see alenla Da just dropped the price,

83
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>you probably want to jump on that one real quick

84
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>because that's getting noticed very fast.

85
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 6>So Paglo says, for a one bedroom apartment, you'll find

86
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 6>the best deal in West Roxbury. I'm a freedman, WBZ,

87

<v Speaker 6>Boston's news radio.

88
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Federal officials are calling for safety evaluations of sixty eight

89
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 2>bridges across the country, including three in Massachusetts. This after

90
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.

91
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Last year. The NTSB identified the Tobin, Sagamore and Bourne

92
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Bridges as needing vulnerability assessments. They want to see their

93
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>risk of collapse. Other bridges on the list included the

94
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Golden Gate Bridge in California and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge

95
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>in Florida. Consumer safety experts have a new warning for parents.

96
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 7>A knockoff handbag is one thing. A knockoff car seat

97
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 7>quite another.

98
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 8>If it's a dupe of a car seat, your baby

99
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 8>might not survive a crash that they could have survived.

100
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 7>Old safety experts like doctor Alissa Bayer say counterfeit car

101
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 7>seats are flooding online retailer ABC News showing doctor Bear

102
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 7>a couple of seats listed on Amazon and TMU.

103
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 8>I am not seeing any mention of the brand name.

104
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 8>Sometimes price can be a red flag.

105
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 7>Proofed car seats will always have a certification sticker, she says.

106
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 7>Both retailers have now removed those seats for sale. Cherry

<v Speaker 7>preston ABC News, you.
