1
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Boston, you are so much better than this. But

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>here we are stuck in the clouds and the fog again,

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and it's still pretty chilly. As we get started today

4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>it is just forty four degrees. But it's Friday. Six

5
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in the News at six is brought to us

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>drive headquarters. I'm Jeff Brown. As we break on through

8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 1>to the other side, gradually diminishing winds with lots of

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>clouds and a coupled of showers today and temperatures mid

10
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty slowly improving weather throughout the Memorial Day weekend. That

11
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is WBZ YACKI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. By Sunday, hopefully

12
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>we can forget all about this. We'll be right back

13
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>where we should be. There are still about fifteen hundred

14
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>customers without electricity in Massachusetts this morning, mostly west of Worcester,

15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and just a few delays on the board at Logan

16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Airport after hundreds of flights were affected by this storm yesterday.

17
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Spring semester is over for most students at Harvard, and

18
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.039
<v Speaker 1>now foreign students face a future filled with doubts.

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Privilege, not a right for universities to enroll foreign students.

20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Those are the words of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome

21
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>in a letter to Harvard University. She's ordered her department

22
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>to terminate the school's student exchange certification. According to Nome,

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Harvard will no longer be able to enroll foreign students,

24
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>and ones already at the school must transfer or lose

25
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>their legal status. Her letter goes on to say that

26
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Harvard has created an unsafe campus environment by allowing anti

27
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>American and pro terrorist agitators on campus. This comes after

28
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Harvard loss roughly three billion dollars in funding from the

29
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>federal government for not complying with the administration's policies. In response,

30
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Harvard says the government's actions are unlawful and that they

31
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>are fully committed to maintaining the school's ability to host

32
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>international students. Brooke McCarthy WBZ, Boston's news radio.

33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the White House is also giving Harvard

34
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>seventy two hours to update its files on foreign students

35
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>in any attempt if it wants to get its international

36
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>certification back. Harvard's commencement sem he is still to come

37
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>next week, along with MIT. It is no holiday in

38
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>fact for college graduation season. Here in Massachusetts Framingham State,

39
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the class of twenty five walks tomorrow morning at the

40
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>DCU Center in Worcester. Governor Heely is the keynote at

41
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the Mount Holio College ceremony on Sunday, and UMass Boston's

42
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>class of twenty five also graduates next week as well.

43
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's Play two. Red Sox and Orioles will play a

44
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>day night doubleheader, weather permitting, at Fenway Park. First pitch

45
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is expected at one thirty five this afternoon. Meantime, Red

46
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendrix says online death threats posted

47
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>against him and his wife are disgusting and vile. The

48
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty six year old reliever has been through the fires

49
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>of cancer and has resumed his career after successful treatment

50
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of non Hodgkins lymphoma, though he's had a rough go

51
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of it out of the Red Sox bullpen this year.

52
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox front office says it's got Hendricks back and

53
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>reiterates its policy on its fan code of conduct. The

54
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>team says it's not above involving law enforcements if necessary

55
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. Look at the radar this morning indicates that

56
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the last we think of the rain is pulling through

57
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 1>the area, but it doesn't look that way. If you

58
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>take a good look outside and a quick one at that,

59
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 1>you'll still see the breeze is whipping up a frenzy

60
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>around thirty mile per hour gusts, and it's still cold

61
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>forty four degrees here in Boston. And yeah, it's probably

62
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>still raining where you are as well, But it's overall

63
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be a damp day with some improvement on

64
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>the way, some brighter skies a little bit later on. Today.

65
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be remaining breezy, but the winds will

66
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>be dying down and temperatures will take a leap forward

67
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 1>into the mid to upper fifties this afternoon. So the

68
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox are expected to play a double header at

69
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Fenway Park. If you're going to the first game, and

70
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 1>even the night game, you might want to think about

71
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>bundling up. It's going to continue to be windy with

72
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>clouds for the most part and maybe a couple of

73
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>showers overnight. Tonight lows back into the forties, and he

74
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>left over rain will finally begin to start pulling away tomorrow.

75
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>There will be a cool breeze as temperatures will advance

76
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>into the lower set sixties. Even better on Sunday, as

77
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>we start to really turn a corner, we'll start to

78
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>see some sunshine return for the latter part of the

79
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>holiday weekend. Sunday and Monday looks like we could see

80
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>temperatures out or above seventy degrees, so finally we'll get

81
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 1>there eventually. It's forty four and still looking pretty miserable

82
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>here in Boston on this Friday morning. It's six oh six,

83
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>so let's try this again. Drenching down pores put many

84
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>of our holiday weekend travel plans on hold, so it's

85
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>take two today.

86
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 3>They're shipping out of Boston this weekend, so we're over

87
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>to Watkins Glen, Western New York race car territory, and

88
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>he's fixing to get on the track. I do a

89
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of racing, I mean tracks up and down the

90
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 3>East Coast. Is it true that Rubbin's racing? Rubb is racing, Yeah,

91
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>but the only thing rubbing their wheels yesterday was water

92
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 3>puddles galore in that nor'eastern Yeah.

93
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh it's bad.

94
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's you know, the wind and everything else.

95
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 1>What's horrible.

96
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, that's been a long time so Today's the day

97
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 3>to get out of the day to get out, yes,

98
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and out of town. They're going with better road conditions

99
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 3>today to travel and for him need for speed.

100
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Two days to seven hour races and.

101
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 3>We have a blast Chrisvama, WBZ, Boston's news radio and

102
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 3>in the air.

103
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 5>The TSA expects to screen about eighteen million people at

104
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 5>checkpoints during the Memorial Day weekend. Pushed last Sunday actually

105
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 5>was the busiest day of the travel year so far.

106
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 5>At airports, TSA screened over two point nine million people,

107
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 5>just shy of a top ten.

108
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Days, CBS News correspondent Chris Vancleeve. Again. At the height

109
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of this storm, more than four hundred and fifty flights

110
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>were impacted at Logan and this morning it looks like

111
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty much a normal day at least for now. Slightly

112
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>more than a dozen delays and cancelations on the board.

113
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.560
