00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Hello Monday,

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>it is six o'clock and we meet again, waking up

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>under clear skies. It's fifty four degrees here in Boston

4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>this Monday morning. Six o'clock News brought to us by

5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>your New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, I'm Jeff Brown. Feels a little bit like

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>early fall. Mix of southern clouds are high sixteen to

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the coast, seventy to seventy four inland. Miss WBZ achi

9
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg around seventy, but with clouds dominating

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>much of the week ahead. The destruction from Hurricane Helene

11
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>is catastrophic in many areas of the southeast, nowhere harder hit,

12
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>perhaps than the mountains of western North Carolina, where at

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 1>least one town has been wiped from the map. President

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Biden hopes to tour parts of the region later this week.

15
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>The death toll from the one time Category four monster

16
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 1>has approached one hundred. One third of that death toll

17
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>from North Carolina. Rescue teams from Massachusetts and New England

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>around the ground and utility crews are on the way.

19
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Some two million customers are still without electricity this morning.

20
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>This is an important day in the saga of Stuart Healthcare.

21
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Today is the final deadline to close the sale of

22
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>all remaining Stuart Healthcare operated hospitals. There was a rare

23
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Sunday hearing with the federal judge in Texas presiding over

24
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the bankruptcy proceedings. Reports there were some final dotting of

25
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the eyes and crossing of the tees before today. Stewart's CEO,

26
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Ralph D. Latorre, could be facing contempt of Congress charges.

27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Will be resigning as CEO effective tomorrow. The fiasco costing

28
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. The Healy administration

29
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>is committed to over four hundred million to help new

30
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>hospital operators in the months following the hospital sales. Jim

31
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>mckata w BZ, Boston's news radio.

32
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>That's over. The Red Sox finish exactly at five hundred

33
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>on the year and in third place in the American

34
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>League East. The double header between the Mets and the

35
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Braves will determine who's in and who's out in the

36
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>National League playoffs and Patriots Football.

37
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Over the middle. He gets picked up the order he.

38
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Now he sprints down the sideline, touchdown.

39
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Sefrancips go Patriots gets smoked in San Franz. Sunday Night

40
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>football the Ravens clob or the Bills, and a Monday

41
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>night doubleheader is coming up tonight. If the moon is

42
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>made of cheese, what's Earth's other moon made of? Planet

43
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Earth gets a new visitor, a second moon for a

44
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of months this fall. It's already here. In fact,

45
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a small asteroid has entered our orbit, not far from

46
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the man on the moon himself. It is so small

47
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>you will need a professional telescope to scope it out.

48
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 1>The rock from the Arjuna asteroid belt will hang out

49
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 1>here until just before Thanksgiving. Then the thirty three foot

50
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>wide chunk will be pulled back to where it came

51
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 1>from and all systems go. This morning on the MBTA's Red.

52
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 3>Line, the red line from Brainstreet to Boston is back

53
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 3>up and running. Folks are hopping aboard trains once again.

54
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 3>After three weeks of the MBTA addressing slow zones as

55
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>well as Latin repairs, deep cleaning and painting. Now there

56
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 3>is still more work down the line, as the MBTA

57
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 3>plans to address more speed restrictions on the red, orange

58
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 3>and Green lions over the next several months. In Quimsey,

59
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 3>James Rojas WBZ Boston's news.

60
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Radio Unrise still more than half an hour away, and

61
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 1>we're getting started with clear skies this morning in Boston.

62
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It's fifty four degrees. Going to be a nice day today,

63
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 1>mix of sun and clouds, highs right around seventy. Inland

64
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>locations will be slightly warmer than that. Closer to the

65
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>shoreline slightly cooler, but overall pretty typical and good look

66
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and fall day this week is going to be featuring

67
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>mainly cloudy skies, unfortunately, with daytime highs routinely in the

68
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>mid to upper sixties, nighttime lows back into the fifties,

69
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and the next best chance of seeing some mostly sunny

70
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>skies won't return until Thursday, with a high once again

71
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>near seventy. But looking ahead, it looks warmer and quite

72
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 1>nice on Friday, with sunshine and highs in the seventies.

73
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Right now in Boston fifty four. As we get our

74
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>engines going on this Monday morning, it is six oh

75
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 1>five under clear skies. Music loses another legend. A look

76
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>back this morning on the life and legacy of the

77
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>great Chris Christofferson.

78
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Known for his Golden Globe winning role opposite Barbara Streisan

79
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 3>in A Star is Born.

80
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Colleagues are remembering their friend, known for.

81
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 3>Hits like Sunday Morning Coming Down and Me and Bobby McGhee.

82
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Editor Anthony de Curtis from Rolling Stone says it's not

83
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 3>just streisand and Parton who loved him.

84
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Everyone said, I mean, Dylan said it, Willian Nelson said it.

85
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 4>You know that they regarded Chris Kristofferson.

86
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 2>As at the absolute eight pex of what a songwriter

87
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>could be.

88
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 3>Christofferson said he would like the first three lines of

89
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 3>Leonard Cohne's Bird on the Wire on his tombstone.

90
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 4>Cooper Lawrence, CBS News.

91
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris Christofferson was eighty eight and by the way, those

92
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>three lines from Leonard Cohen are like a bird on

93
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir. I

94
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>have tried in my way to be free. Israel is

95
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>on the attack rarely. Special forces carry out small raids,

96
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>reportedly into Lebanon in advance of a long talked about

97
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>and feared ground invasion. Meantime, officials claim a recent air

98
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 1>strike in the southern Lebanon has killed the leader of

99
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the Iran backed militant group Hamas. It is the latest

100
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in a series of air strikes that have also claimed

101
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the lives of leadership in Hezbollah. Israel has also turned

102
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>its attention to Yemen, where it reportedly sent missiles directed

103
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>at the Houthy rebels in that region. Back in the

104
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>United States, just thirty six days to go until election day,

105
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris continues to talk the economy and immigration. During

106
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a tour of the Sun Belt States this weekend Viva

107
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas, Harris again challenges Donald Trump to a second debate.

108
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump hits up Pennsylvania and questions Harris's mental acuity, while

109
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 1>also calling on police to get extraordinarily rough on crime.

110
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump has set an invitation to debate and late next

111
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 1>month on CNN is too late. Meantime, the vice presidential

112
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>nominees jd. Vance and Tim Walls are set to go

113
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>toe to toe in their one and only tomorrow night

114
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>on CBS. WBZ News Radio will carry the debate live

115
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>here or on the iHeartRadio app Where's My Mail. Wbz's

116
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Drew Mhollins tells us this morning, it's a problem in

117
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 1>many mailboxes in the city of Boston.

118
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey. Oh hey, maybe this

119
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 4>would work better. You've got mail, remember that the old

120
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 4>all yeah brings back memories, but later missing mail in

121
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 4>several neighborhoods in Boston, and that means missed Bill's missing

122
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 4>mail in election ballots. Officials aren't happy. Fingers of many

123
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 4>being pointed at the US Postal Service, but the Post

124
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Office says it's only aware of minor staffing issues that

125
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 4>has since been resolved. But here's the deal, Jeff many say,

126
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 4>this has been going on for months. Mail in ballot

127
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 4>registration is already in the mail. Ballots must be postmarked

128
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 4>no later than November fifth. So what's going on here?

129
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 4>You've got mail?

130
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we don't.

131
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 4>That's the problem.

132
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>That is the problem. Where is it? All right? Well,

133
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>we've got to get something to fix there before election day.
