<v Speaker 1>this coming weekend, and three weeks from tomorrow is election Day.

<v Speaker 1>later this evening in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Of both

9
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 1>the events, our plan for a couple of hours from now.

10
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania is the largest of the battleground states, and with

11
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>time running out, an ipso's poll offers a snapshot of

12
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the race and how Americans view some of the key

13
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>issues Jarati.

15
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 2>that all immigrants in the country illegally should be deported.

16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a twenty percentage point jump on that question in

17
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>our polling from eight years ago. Voters like several of

18
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the proposal's com La Harris is brought to the table,

19
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>such as a six thousand dollars per child tax credit,

20
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five thousand dollars grant to first time home buyers,

21
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and even limits on grocery profits. They also like some

22
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>of Trump's proposals, such as an end to taxes on

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.239

38
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>from complications from a stroke she was ninety six. The

39
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>picket lines have been growing. Hotel workers from cooks to

40
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>bell hoops are now striking at the Omni Parker hotels

41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.919

51
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 4>month for the workers who mean the difference between staying

52
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 4>in Boston and being forced out.

53
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 6>If they keep saying make them pay, make them pay.

54
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 4>They're demanding at the hotels step forward and reach a

55
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 4>contract that gives them significant wage increases. Another housekeeper I

56
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 4>talked to was I rate over needing to work multiple

57
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 4>jobs just to cover rent.

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 5>You cannot leave you with just one job.

59
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Just one job should be not There's no insight to

60
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 4>the strike, and union leaders say more hotels could be

61
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 4>added at any time. Kyle Schaffel to BDZ, Boston's news.

62
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Radio for four day WDVZ actually weather forecast couple of

63
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>spritzers and sprinkles around in a few places closer to

64
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the coast. The big deal, at least right now on

65
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 1>the radar, is out into parts of western Massachusetts where

66
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 1>we have been seeing quite a bit of shower activity

67
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>by ninety one westward. Will have to see what those

68
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>showers do, because they do have a little bit more punch,

69
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>so maybe a downpour in that. There's a couple of

70
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>showers up to the north as well, into and around

71
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cape Ann area, So something to watch out for

72
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>as we head through the latter hours of the afternoon

73
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>and into the early evening, when we'll just have some

74
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>patchy clouds. Later, temperatures in the low forties in Boston,

75
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>upper thirties of the inland suburbs. Then the weather turns

76
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty nice. It won't be overly warm, but we'll have

77
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>sunshine Tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday, temperatures within a few degrees

78
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:56.479

84
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.800

88
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 6>going to a Randy Moss Halloween party again.

89

98
