<v Speaker 2>It is six o'clock on this Friday morning, finally here

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 2>in Boston, and we are just getting started under mainly

<v Speaker 2>some baby steps here.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Sunshine mixing with claps today.

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It'll be brisk and rather cold with the high of

12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>thirty three and.

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Is WBZ Accuwater meteorologist Joe Lundberg continued, dry and a

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>little easier to take outside this weekend as well. Patriot

15
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>star Jabriel Peppers is due back in court today and

16
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll take the stand once again in Quincy District Court.

17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>The twenty nine year old testifies in his own defense

18
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>on assault charges. Prosecutors say he physically assaulted a woman

19
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>in his home last fall after she got a message

20
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>from another man. Peppers pleaded guilty to drug possession charges

21
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>just before jury's selection began yesterday for the assault case.

22
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Celtics get blown out by the Lakers in a late

23
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>night in La Bruins shout out the senators at the

24
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>garden and the joke's on you. Novak Djokovic loses in

25
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the first set in the Australian Open Tennis tournament semifinal

26
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and then hangs it up, retires.

27
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>You can't believe some people are brewing.

28
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 4>Let's just dest focus and yeah, there's some people are

29
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 4>bowing and Novak's put the thumbs up.

30
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the surrenders.

31
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Joker booed by the crowd. Patrick McEnroe not happy with

32
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the Australian tennis fans as well. That tournament continues on

33
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Capitol Hill. The full Senate yets set to vote on

34
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>the nomination of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary after a

35
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>confirmation committee narrowly advances his bid despite the objections of

36
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Maine Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The process

37
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>comes despite new allegations of verbal abuse by Hegsath and

38
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>now a statement from one of Hegseeth's ex wives in

39
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>which he claims he still has an alcohol abuse problem.

40
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>A controversial executive order to ban birthright citizenship in the

41
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 2>United States is now placed on hold. More from Cbs'suija Jang.

42
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 4>A federal judge in Washington State called it blatantly unconstitutional,

43
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 4>temporarily blocking the order for two weeks as several states

44
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 4>challenge it in court.

45
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, obviously we'll look the other. They put it before

46
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a certain judge in Seattle.

47
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 5>I guess right, and there's no surprises with that judge.

48
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>President Trump says his his administration will certainly appeal. It's

49
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>over the work from home lifestyle that is of the

50
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>federal government employee. President Trump orders directors of federal agencies

51
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to rescind the pandemic era policy by close of business

52
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>today and give employees thirty days to get back to

53
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>their office desks. Now, this means no more sweatpantsies, not

54
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to mention, it's causing sleepless nights for parents who need

55
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>to look for childcare while adding to the workday misery

56
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>in a likely long commute. Critics say this will force

57
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>many federal workers to quit, but the White House says

58
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of the point. So we started the week

59
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>with a holiday, it's a four day week, and it

60
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>seems like it's one of the longest weeks that we've experienced,

61
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's probably because of the cold as well. It

62
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>is twenty two degrees here in Boston. Real field temperature

63
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>stuck in the teens this morning under mainly clear skies.

64
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a nice day today with sunshine

65
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>much of the time, like breezes too, with highs right

66
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>around the freezing mark. Mainly clear, back in the teens

67
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>overnight tonight, and this ultra dry weather is going to

68
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>continue through the weekend as well. We'll see sunshine both

69
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and Sunday, and on Sunday afternoon we might fit

70
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>very close to forty degrees by then. Looks like the

71
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>theme is going to be cold and dry into next

72
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>work week as well. Right now in Boston, mainly clear,

73
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty two degrees here in the city. It's six oh

74
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>five on this Friday morning. Finally, the NBTA feels the

75
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>need for speed. It's coming to a subway line near you, with.

76
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Speed restrictions a thing of the past, and the Red

77
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Line south of Dorchester. Agency officials now say a peak

78
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 3>speed of fifty miles per hour could be achieved.

79
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I would love that.

80
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Quicker commute, the better commute, and things have been going

81
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 3>more smoothly of late.

82
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 4>They say, less time now for me.

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 2>This good thing.

84
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 4>It's faster, a little more reliable.

85
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 3>But hitting fifty on the speedometer and even fifty five

86
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 3>and some stretches on the orange line as the agency

87
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 3>suggests the system was designed for. I've never seen it

88
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 3>go that fast just because they fixed what they what

89
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 3>was bulken.

90
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 4>Unless they made improvements, it's not going to hit the.

91
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>So you'd be afraid to go fifty miles an hour

92
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 3>on this Chris Fom and WBZ, Boston's news radio, better

93
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 3>watch your speed when coming up on a red light

94
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 3>because tucked inside a sixty billion dollars state budget some cameras.

95
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Josh isn't shy about his driving habits yet.

96
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I don't even worry about speeding in Boston.

97
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 3>I think cops have bigger fish of fries, so they

98
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 3>don't really worry about speeding quite as much.

99
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 4>So as people like him that the governor wants to

100
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 4>deter from speeding. He at least proposed a budget would

101
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 4>allow state and local governments to install speed cameras on highways, streets,

102
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>and roads.

103
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it would definitely make me slow down.

104
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>If approved, Massachusetts would join nineteen other states and DC

105
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 4>allowing the use of automated cameras to catch fast drivers.

<v Speaker 2>For poultry farms and egg producers, The headache from a

108
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>stampeding bird flu crisis is the nightmare that never ends

109
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>for farmers on Long Island, New York. The entire flock

110
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>of one hundred thousand ducks needs to be euthanized after

111
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the virus hits hard. The birds at Crescent Duck Farm

112
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 2>are harvested and known as a delicacy with mild flavor

113
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and tender meat. The H five and one virus detected

114
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>last week. Some thirteen million birds in the US have

115
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>been killed in the past month alone for this fourth

116
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>generation family run farm, though a loss of all of

117
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 2>its ducks likely means that farm is going to go

118
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 2>out of business. An epic north Shore high school hockey
