00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio Rea defining local news.

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Sunny in eighty degrees in Boston at four o'clock at afternoon.

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Suzanne Saalsville. Here's what's happening. The Senate votes to

4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 2>move forward with President Trump's tax and spending bill after

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a late night session. Republican lawmakers were at a standstill

6
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>for several hours, with leaders working behind the scenes to

7
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>rein in a few of the holdouts. CBS's Michael Tuscano

8
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>has more.

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Finally, just after eleven pm Eastern time, the a's are

10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 3>fifty one, the na's are forty nine. Senate Majority leader

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>John Thune was ready to move right to debate.

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Aston sent the reading be dispensed with.

13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 3>But Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said, not so fast.

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 4>Democrats are going to force this chamber to read it

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 4>from start to finish by redesignating paragraph four as paragraph

16
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 4>five and this, and by inserting after paragraph three the

17
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 4>following new paragraph.

18
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 3>And that is what reading out loud, a nine hundred

19
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>and forty page bill sounds like. Hour after hour.

<v Speaker 3>CBS News Washington and Today.

22
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>After voting no North Carolina Republican Tom Tillis says he

23
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>will not run for re election. A two term Senator,

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Tillis was opposed to President Trump's budget bill because of

25
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>its reductions to Medicaid. Among the proposed cuts and President

26
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Trump's budget bill or cuts to renewable energy incentives. Opposing

27
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Democrats say the cuts would put hundreds of solar projects

28
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>at schools at risk. The Globe reports Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey,

29
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>along with Senators Chuck Schumer and Ron Wyden, compiled the

30
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>list of schools with solar installations in the works. The

31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>list includes seven solar panel projects at elementary schools in Massachusetts,

32
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 2>including in Brookline, New Bedford, Winchester, and Westwood. Tens of

33
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>thousands of Iranians gather over the weekend for a series

34
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of state funerals in the wake of Israeli and US

35
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>strikes honey Iran's nuclear program. ABC's Marcus Moore reports we.

36
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 4>Saw extraordinary pictures of the crowds filling the streets of

37
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Tehran on Saturday. There were morning the deaths of those

38
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 4>top Irani and military commanders and nuclear scientists to cripple

39
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 4>Iran's nuclear program. But there are conflicting intelligence assessments on

40
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 4>just how much the US strikes set back Iran's nuclear program.

41
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 4>President Trump dismissed an earlier leaked Pentagon intel report that

42
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 4>said the program was only set back a few months.

43
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>President Trump is also dismissing the notion that Iran might

44
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>have moved some of its enriched uranium before the US strikes.

45
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>He appeared on Fox News this morning. Plus, we didn't

46
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 2>give much notice because they didn't know we were coming

47
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>until just you know then, And nobody thought we'd go

48
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>after that site because everybody said that site is impenitraed.

49
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can't, you know, you're.

50
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Not going to be this way. It is at the

51
00:02:58.879 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 3>bottom of a mountain.

52
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog has suggested

53
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>that Iran has the capacity to start enriching uranium again

54
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>in a matter of months, contradicting President Trump's claims that

55
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Iran's nuclear facilities were totally obliterated. The forecast mainly clear

64
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>stabbing in Middleborough yesterday. The Plymouth County DA's office says

65
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 2>it happened at a home on Fairview Street. The victim

66
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.680

71
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Park this weekend, there are quite a few people from

72
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Canada in Boston, despite the tensions between Canada and the US.

73
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Carl Stevens spoke with some Canadian tourists at Fanuel Hall.

74
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Harry Cudson from Nova Scotia was walking around Fannel Hall

75
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>here wearing a Toronto Blue Jays baseball cap. He says

76
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>he's here on a tour that he paid for before

77
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump was elected president, creating some tension between the

78
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 1>US and Canada. And I asked him if he'd have

79
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>booked it after that all started, would have I would give.

80
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 3>It more thought.

81
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was no question about it. We're friends, We

82
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 5>even traveling for some time, and that the option to

83
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 5>come up, so we decided that we would do this

84
00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 5>as another tour.

85
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>He says, they've I had a good visit and despite

86
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 1>a few second thoughts, he sounded like he made the

87
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 1>right decision to visit this part of America.

88
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm seventy four years old and I'm get a

89
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 5>short time, right, So you ever know when next to

90
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 5>the moral might not come.

91
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>From Fannel Hall Carl Stevens WBC Boston's news Radio.

92
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Another day, another scam.

93
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 6>Boston Police say they've gotten two reports of a scam

94
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 6>targeting local businesses. Here's how it works. A suspect calls

95
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 6>stores posing as a delivery company. The scammer tells the

96
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 6>manager they're lay on a payment and the only way

97
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 6>to make right is by depositing money from the store

98
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 6>safe into a bitcoin ATM. Police say this is a scam.

99
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 6>How do you know? Because real delivery companies won't demand

100
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 6>payment via cryptocurrency. Businesses can protect themselves by telling their

101
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 6>employees to keep an ear out for suspicious calls and

102
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 6>to report them to the police. Jeremy Russ, WBZ Boston's
