3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>what's happening. Well, we're starting off in New Orleans, where

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>authorities are investigating after a truck plowed through busy Bourbon

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Street overnight, killing at least ten people. We're starting to

6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>hear comment from all corners of the political world on

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.519

8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>tolerate any attack on communities across the country. Back home

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>here in Massachusetts, state police say they're monitoring the situation

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and that there does not appear to be any connection

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to Massachusetts at the moment. Senator Ed Markey is also

12
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>weighing in. Wbz's Mike Macklin has more.

13
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.640

<v Speaker 3>treating as a terrorist attack.

18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>We applaud law enforcement officials for their response to this act,

19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>which is as heinous as any that we've seen in

20
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>our country in a long time, and now we must

21
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>ensure that we put it in place protections to ensure

22
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 2>that it does not happen in cities across our country.

38
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.800

39
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the course of the race, Lombardo leveled sharp criticism at Jones,

40
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:34.479

49
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 1>showers like this kind of spotting around the region as

50
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.439

51
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>cloudy out there with some wind low of thirty six

52
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.159

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.800

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 1>high is forty four degrees, but acuather real field temperatures

55
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>will be mostly in the twenties Tomorrow night. It's gonna

56
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>be getting colder out there alone, near thirty degrees with

57
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>mainly clear skies. Real field temps in the teens most

<v Speaker 1>be a bit colder with some sunshine coming through the clouds,

60
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>but that's not gonna help much with how cold it's

61
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel out there. A high of thirty seven degrees,

62
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.759
<v Speaker 1>but no wind to make it feel colder with those

63
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>real field temps. As for our weekend on Saturday, mainly sunny, breezy,

66
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of people ran into the ocean today to ring in

67
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>the new year. Wbz's Suzanne Soasville is in Southeas.

68
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 5>Lots of people run in, but don't put their heads

69
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 5>under the icy water. Not these old timers.

70
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Of course we go under the water. Of course we

71
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 3>swim a little bit, but we don't hang in a

72
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 3>jewel long maybe a minute at joke.

73
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just become a very fun way to kick in

74
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>the new year. Or the other side of that is

75
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>not the worst can happen to us for the rest

76
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year when we get out.

77
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 4>Of that cold water.

78
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 5>That's the consensus. A great way to start the new year.

79
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 5>But Bill, who wears a duck nosed feet and hat,

80
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 5>is also wearing a shirt that reads Willie, You're always

81
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 5>with us.

82
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 4>That was our sign.

83
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 3>He died of a fentanyl with those in twenty seventeen

84
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 3>and he loved Donald Duck, so we're doing it for him.

85
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 5>And Kathy is doing it for someone she loves.

86
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 6>My friend Kevin, who passed away this past year. Year

<v Speaker 5>We made a promise to each other to come back

89
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 5>this year when we returned six. Daty l Street Brownies

100
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.000

00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 4>hiking is such a good thing.

102
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a good thing because number one, to connect people

103
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 2>with nature, which is a great thing. It's also good exercise.

104
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 4>kJ from Lynn got some exercise hiking for two miles here.

105
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm an artist, so every turn just seemed like a

106
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 6>pain in to me. The different tones of greens and browns,

107
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 6>and just the whole motivated was just inspirational.

108
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 4>After the hike, everybody can enjoy free clam chowder and

109

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 1>shops that are at risk of going out of business

114
