<v Speaker 2>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Sunny in fifty nine degrees in Boston is eleven o'clock

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Good Morning on Laurie Kirby topping our news. Hurricane Milton

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 3>is headed for Florida's Gulf Coast, expected to make landfalls

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 3>sometime late tonight or early tomorrow morning. It is now

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 3>a Cat for hurricane, down slightly from its peak, but

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>it's still poised to drive Florida as the most powerful

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 3>hurricane in his century. An authorities warn time is running

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>out to evacuate. ABC's which Johnson is more emergency.

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 4>Crews across the state of Florida are preparing for this

12
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 4>monster hurricane. But they are reminding people if you do

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 4>not evacuate, you're essentially on your own during the storm.

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 4>They will not be able to reach you. So far,

15
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 4>people appear to be heating the evacuation warnings. Most of

16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 4>the families that we spoke with who wrote out the

17
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 4>storm during Hurricane Helene this time say they're getting out,

18
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 4>not take making any chances with another potentially record breaking storm.

19
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Search and now we're seeing the outer bands of Milton's

20
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>spawning at least two tornadoes in South Florida, with more

21
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>likely to come throughout the day, and again we'll have

22
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 3>a lot more both here in streaming on the iHeartRadio app.

23
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Vice President Kamala Harris responds to acclaim in Bob Woodward's

24
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 3>new book that Donald Trump sent COVID test to Russia

25
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 3>for Vladimir Putin's personal use. ABC's Jonathan Carl has more.

26
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris is in an interview with Howard Stern.

27
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Everybody was scrambling to get his kits, the tests, the

28
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 5>COVID test kits. Couldn't get them, couldn't get them, couldn't

29
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 5>get them anywhere, right, And this guy who is President

30
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 5>of the United States is sending them to Russia.

31
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 4>Woodward also reports that Trump has had quote multiple phone

32
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 4>calls with Putin since he left the White House, including

33
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 4>at least one call earlier this year.

34
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump denies he's maintained contact with Putin since leaving

35
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 3>the White House and long COVID staying power maybe in

36
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 3>the blood. Researchers at Mass Bring Them in Women's found

37
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>people with prolonged symptoms of COVID were twice as likely

38
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 3>to have SARS cove two proteins in their blood, and

39
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 3>they conclude a persistent infection could explain why people experience

40
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 3>long COVID symptoms. Why is that helpful? While by identifying

41
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>those with a reservoir of virus, they may be able

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 3>to treat them with anti virals. The FAA is issuing

43
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 3>yet another safety alert for Boeing, this time for the

44
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 3>rudder system on its jets. Abcgo Banites has more.

45
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about what they call a limited or jammed

46
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>rudder on more than three hundred and fifty seven to

47
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven planes, including the Max. Now the rudder, of course,

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>controls the plane's movements. The NTSB alerted the FAA after

49
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a February incident with the United Airlines plane landing over

50
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 1>at Newark. The plane's rudder pedals became non responsive. Boeing

51
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 1>says it has reminded operators of what to do if

52
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>flight crews encounter those issues.

53
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 3>United Airlines said last month the potentially faulty rudders are

54
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 3>only being used on nine of their seven thirty seven aircrafts.

55
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Fair skies in Massachusetts really pretty morning out. There were

56
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 3>in the high fifties. Some of you starting to get

57
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>into the sixties zone. Are high today's sixties. Six was sun.

58
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Bring that to umbrella. If you're out for a walk

59
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 3>early tonight, we could see some pop up showers. Cool too,

62
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>A new lawsuit accuses dozens of elite schools of holding

63
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 3>out on financial aid for their students. Wdbz's Jeremy Ross

64
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 3>with details.

65
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 6>Boston College, Brandeis, Brown, MIT, and more. All local schools

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 6>named alongside the College board is defendants in the suit.

67
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 6>What schools determine how much need based financial aid students

68
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 6>should get. They often take into consideration how much money

69
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 6>each of their parents make, but these schools and dozens

70
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 6>of others or accused of factoring into the equation the

71
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 6>incomes of non custodial parents too, even if those parents

72
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 6>don't actually help pay for their kids' education. The plaintiffs

73
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 6>say this effectively cheat students at of financial aid. They're

74
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 6>seeking more than five million dollars in damages and a

75
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 6>cord order to stop the alleged practice. Jeremy Russ, WBZ

87
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 3>is a violation of their free speech rights. Now they're

88
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.560
