00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>at North Station and Medford toffs following Tuesday's derailment near Leechmere,

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the t announcing today repairs had been made in a

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>test train man successfully this morning. There is also an

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>ongoing investigation into what caused the derailment, including with federal

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>and state officials. In a statement, m BTA General manager

12
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Phil Lang says, we sincerely apologize for this incident and

13
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 2>thanked the public for their patients. While we worked to

14
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>resume service, our thoughts continued to be with the writers

15
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 2>who were aboard this trolley and those who were injured.

16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>He goes on to say, know that we share a

17
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>common goal with the NTSBFTA and DPU and are fully

18
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>committed to continuously improve and deliver safe and reliable service

19
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>to all that we serve. The death toll from Hurricane

20
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Helene hits two hundred. That death toll likely to go

21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>higher as hundreds of people remain missing. One hundreds of

22
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>thousands of people are still without power in Georgia and

23
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the Carolinas. President Biden surveying damage today in parts of

24
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 2>the South, and with all the damage and all of

25
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the deaths, there are questions about preparations for this storm.

26
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a one in one thousand year storm.

27
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 4>Major General Windberghead says while they were watching the storm approach.

28
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 3>It's very difficult to think that you're completely prepared, he said.

29
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 4>Right now, they're focused on helping the area's hit hardest.

30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 3>All eyes right now are on North Carolina in Tennessee.

31
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 3>This is going to be a long recovery.

32
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Process and if additional help is needed.

33
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm very very pleased with the communication that we have

34
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 3>here in the Pentagon that if it's determined that they're needed,

35
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 3>they can be placed into action very very quickly.

36
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Stacey Lynn, CBS News Washington. No sign of progress in

37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>tox aim to ending a strike by forty five thousand

38
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>dock workers on the east end Gulf Coast.

39
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 5>Seeking International Longshoreman's Association is demanding more than a wage increase.

40
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 5>Its members claim that automation is costing jobs, but because

41
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 5>automation means efficiency.

42
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 6>That's something that ports will not negotiate.

43
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 5>University of New Orleans economics professor Walter Lane says a

44
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 5>strike of a week shouldn't affect consumer prices.

45
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 6>Those are much longer than that. As there seem to

46
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 6>be indications at will, these impacts will get bigger than bicker.

47

<v Speaker 5>Jim Ryan ABC News.

48
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>When something is free, people jump on board. Yeah, it

49
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>turns out a lot of people have been taking that

50
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 2>free ride to college. In Massachusetts, about ten thousand students

51
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>are newly taking advantage of the cost free community college

52
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>in the first semester of the program. Go the Morehley

53
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and higher education leaders are celebrating the no cost option,

54
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>with the governors saying interest is already high and could

55
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>swell significantly in the coming months. In fact, within a year,

56
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the governor says as many as forty five thousand students

57
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>could be tapping in to the state's community college with

58
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>no out of pocket costs free to students, though does

59
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>costs officials have projected the state will pay about one

60
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventeen million dollars this year to cover the program.

61
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Peaks of sunshine through the afternoon, and as we head

62
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>into the evening, no sunshine, but peaks of well sky.

63
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll have partly cloudy skies overnight. What we need to

64
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>watch out for late tonight is the fog that'll start

65
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>to roll in. Temperatures mainly in the fifties. The fog

66
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 2>starts us off Tomorrow morning, but it burns away with

67
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 2>partly sunny skies developing. Temperatures in the low to mid seventies,

68
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 2>partly mostly cloudy Tomorrow night fifty nine for the low

69
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and then on Saturday, some clouds, a couple of shours

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>early later in the day afternoon, Let's say we'll get

71
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>some sunshine in here and temperatures rise to around seventy

72
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 2>mid to upper sixties on Sunday with a mix of

73
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>stun and clouds. It is sixty seven degrees right now

74
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. A unique tropical fish has a new home

75
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 2>that the New England Aquarium wbz's Brook McCarthy explains.

76
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Among some oyster cages in Little Pleasant Bay and Orleans,

77
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 4>some farmers recently noticed a teeny tiny fish that stuck

78
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 4>out like a sore thumb thanks to its bright blue

79
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 4>and yellow colors, and.

80
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 7>So the folks tending to their oysters were able to

81
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 7>scoop up the fish and bring it to a wildlife

82
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 7>rehabilitator down the cape.

83
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 4>That's Michael O'Neill with the New England Aquarium. He says

84
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 4>it's a blue angelfish that made its way up north

85
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 4>because of warmer water temperatures, and Michael says this is

86
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 4>becoming more common.

87
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 7>This year definitely stands out as a year where a

88
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 7>lot of tropical fish are showing up.

89
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 4>The little blue angelfish will now call the aquarium home,

90
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 4>growing and thriving in their different tropical tanks. Brook McCarthy WBZ,

109
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>we refuse to rule out the possibility of foul play.

110
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Some close to him had been unaware of his death.

111
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Amos was cremated. His son and daughter had disagreed over

112
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the actor's dementia care. Daughter Shannon last year alleged elder abuse,

113
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.279
