00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:06.599
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>You ready, let's go six o'clock on this Thursday morning,

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>and we've got mostly cloudy skies south the door this morning,

4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty two degrees here in the city. The news at

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>six is brought to us by You're a New England

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Toyota dealer, your highbrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>joining us this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. Our locker room

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>appears to have runneth out, satty and breezy today with

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>occasional rain. That rain will be a little steadier and

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>heavier down toward the cape in the island. Is WBZ

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>acky weather meteorologist Joe Lumberg. A high rip current risk

12
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>is also kicking in today, officially at eight o'clock this morning,

13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>but it'll be in the seventies for most of us

14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>throughout the day. Red Sox hang on in a nail

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>biter at the trough probo basin.

16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>And direct band that brings in the go ahead run

17
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>story well store at suit him on Boston.

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the call on Nessen and that is the way

19
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 1>it would finish. The Red Sox beat the Rays to

20
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>keep their slim playoff hopes of the American League alive.

21
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Patriots are going to kick off Week three in the

22
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>NFL tonight against the Jets on the road, and the

23
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>WNBA is going to strike while its iron is hot.

24
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>The league is expected to bring an expansion team to Portland, Oregon,

25
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of years. Recent surveys show an

26
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>improving picture for Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, and

27
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>ep pole reveals an approval rating on the upswing. About

28
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 1>half of voters feel better about the Harris campaign now

29
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>than earlier this summer, while Donald Trump's approval rating remains

30
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>about the same. A Morning Consult survey also finds more

31
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>voters are warming up to Harris as she closes the

32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>trust gap with Trump. Forty six percent now say they

33
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>feel good about Harris's ability to handle the US economy,

34
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>an issue that Trump has dominated this entire campaign. Congress

35
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>is running out of runway. The House soundly rejects a

36
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>plan to keep the government running beyond an end of

37
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>month shutdown, despite a revolt by members of his own

38
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party. Speaker Mike Johnson plows ahead anyway with a

39
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 1>vote on a one point six trillion dollars spending stopgap

40
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that would have kept the government running through March. No deal,

41
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and the lights will go off in Washington and at

42
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>federal offices around the country at midnight on October first.

43
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Tens of thousands continue to walk the picket lines at

44
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>jetmaker Boeing, a strike.

45
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Of Boeing machinists continues after federal mediators failed to help

46
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>the company and its largest union reach an agreement on

47
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>key issues the union set on social media. There are

48
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 3>no additional dates scheduled for talks. Boeing furloughed tens of

49
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>thousands of executives and non union staff as it deals

50
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 3>with the financial repercussions of the strike. The machinist walked

51
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>off the job Friday, twenty July.

52
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 1>CBS needs tens of thousands of additional workers at Boeing

53
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>are about to begin rolling furloughs. The strike is expected

54
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to last for weeks and cost billions, so other employees

55
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>will take one week off a month, while top executives

56
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>will take pay cuts. We are living in a shopper's

57
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>paradise WBCs. Drew m'holland is here about to I should

58
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>say good morning, Andrew.

59
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Good morning retailers.

60
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 5>Right.

61
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 4>The final three months of the year has traditionally been

62
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 4>make or break season. It's the main reason why the

63
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 4>day after Thanksgiving Day sales are called Black Friday, in

64
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 4>reference to an accountants ledger. But Walmart will get things

65
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 4>started on October eighth with online Holidays sale.

66
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>I just feel it's a little early at.

67
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 1>This Yeah, it's not even Halloween.

68
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Amazon's fall version of Prime Days on the way, Target

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 4>and Best Buy. I get the boat to get the

70
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 4>shopping carts tuned up in the aisles and the weeks

71
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 4>to come. The National Retail Federation says this year's online

72
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 4>shopping season, Jeff could top one trillion dollars.

73
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Who's got that kind of money? Jeez? All right, true,

74
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks for that, I guess. So this is a transition

75
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>day of sorts. We are already seeing some rain hitting

76
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the bands of the outer Cape and the islands this morning,

77
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>but the rest of eastern Massachusetts is relatively dry. We

78
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>do have some thick patches of fog and otherwise cloudy skies.

79
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>For the most part this morning, it's relatively mild at

80
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty two degrees. As we get started this Thursday morning,

81
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see temperatures jump into the seventies along the way

82
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>today and most of the rain today will be confined

83
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to the southeast portion of the state.

84
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Now.

85
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We are in a bit of an unsettled weather pattern

86
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>now which is going to settle in over the next

87
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>several days, with more clouds than sunshine on the way,

88
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>much cooler. Temperatures will only be in the sixties right

89
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>through the weekend, and it does look like more of

90
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>us will be exposed to showers tomorrow afternoon and into

91
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the early hours on Saturday. Sunday looks like we could

92
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>see a return of some sunshine. Right now. It's sixty two,

93
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>clouds and fog here in Boston at six oh six

94
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 1>on this Thursday morning. The rapper will remain behind bars.

95
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>No bail for Sean Combs, now facing federal sex trafficking

96
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and racketeering charges. A second judge rejects an appeal that

97
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 1>he'd be let out of a Brooklyn jail to await trial.

98
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Look inside his mansions and his sex parties, though, is revealing.

99
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 5>Prosecutors saying devices allegedly containing videos of those freak offs

100
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 5>were seized during raids on Combs's homes in Los Angeles

101
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 5>and Miami, and in is closet agents, saying they found

102
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 5>AR fifteen's with serial numbers defaced. Colmbs was initially denied

103
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 5>bail after pleading not guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking, and

104
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 5>prostitution charges.

105
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>At SABC's Aaron Katerski as for the bail request, the

106
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>court rules that Combs might not be a flight risk,

107
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>but it is concerned that Combs will be a risk

108
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of witness tampering. A brawl at a maximum security prison

109
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts sends five corrections officers to the hospital with injuries,

110
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>two of whom are stabbed in the fight. Officials say

111
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the assault took place at the SUSA Baranowski Correctional Center

112
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>in Lancaster around six thirty last night. The prison now secure.

113
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>State police have been notified and investigation is underway. The

114
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>FEDS say overdose deaths from drugs are falling and fast.

115
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 1>The CDC reports there are still more than one hundred

116
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>thousand deaths annually due to ods, but the annual count

117
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 1>is dropping ten percent in most recent trends. Experts say

118
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>increased availability of the overdose reversing treatment NARCAN should be

119
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>given much of the credit here, but they also caution

120
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that more numbers and data are needed before any expectation

121
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of the future can be predicted. Room with a View

122
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is on its way to Quincy.

123
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>The City of Quincy is receiving over four million dollars

124
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>in federal funding to improve the maritime transit experience at

125
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Marina Bay. That money is going to modernize the over

126
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty year old facility with a new peer float and

127
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>ramp system. The MBTA says the project offers a unique

128
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>chance to improve transportation options in the Quincy Boston Harbor

129
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>area and foster greater collaboration between them and the city,

130
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>adding the initiative will specifically benefit elderly writers and those

131
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>with disabilities in Quincy. James Rojas WBZ Boston's Snooze Radio.
