<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We're following some developments

3
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>out of Marblehead where teachers have voted to go on

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>strike starting Tuesday if the school committee fails to negotiate

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 1>a contract for all five bargaining units by Monday night.

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>The Marblehead Teachers Associations as ninety nine percent of members

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>voted in favor of a strike to demand better conditions

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>for educators, students, and the entire community. Meantime, teachers are

9
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 1>striking and walking the picket lines in Beverly and Gloucester.

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Educators in Beverly are out in full force for day

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 2>sisters at Glossar Public Schools as they also go on

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>strike overstalled contract negotiations. Beverly High School teacher Stephanie andrews.

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>We don't want to be out here on the lines.

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 4>This is important to us, but we want to be

16
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 4>in our classrooms and we are ready to get this

17
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 4>contract settled as soon as possible so we can get

18
00:00:59.039 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 4>back to work.

19
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Both Beverly and Gloucester school committees release similar statements, calling

20
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>the vote to strike disappointing. Meanwhile, educators in Fitchburg are

21
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>planning a meeting next week to talk about fair wages,

22
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.439

26
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>personal emails and text messages, and have asked to see

27
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>sidebar conversations that happened during Reid's first trial. Turny's for reader,

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>looking to see what conversation DA Morrissey had with court

29
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>officials and others related to her case. They say recent

30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>reporting and documentary evidence demonstrates the DA used as personal

31
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.640

<v Speaker 1>DA's office for comment. Random, anonymous and offensive text messages

35
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.359

36
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>ten states this week, including here in Massachusetts. ABC's Jim

<v Speaker 1>Ryan tells us several federal agencies are looking into it.

38
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 5>The text message orders the recipient, sometimes by name, to

39
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 5>report to a plantation. The people who've gotten it have

40
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 5>ranged in age from their teens to their eighties. The

41
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 5>common threat is that they're black.

42
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 6>I was hurt and I was disappointed the success.

43
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing comical about it.

44
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>I kept thinking what am I done?

45
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 5>The texts are racist and offensive, but are they illegal?

46
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 5>The FBI is interested because some of the messages contain

47
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 5>threats of violence. Jim Rily and ABC News.

120
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 6>time is a big win.

121
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.839

122
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.920
