<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Fifty nine degrees in Boston. It is partly cloudy in

3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the city. At eleven o'clock, Happy Thursday. I'm Nicole Davis

4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and here's what's happening. Karen Reid's second murder trial is

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>back from morning recess. Just before the break, we heard

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>testimony from Trooper Nicholas Garrino. He analyzed Reid and John

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 2>O'Keefe's phones, and he's been talking about the nuts and

8
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>bolts of how he extracted data from those phones. Courteous

9
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>getting back in session a couple moments ago, Garino is

10
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 2>still on the stand. WBZ Suzanne Sausville back with us

11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>at eleven fifteen with the very latest Keep it right

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>here or stream us on the iHeartRadio app. At eleven

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>oh one. Over to the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

14
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>facing more controversy now over reports he installed the Signal

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>messaging app onto a computer in his office. His ABC's

16
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Nicole D'Antonio.

17
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Eg Seth was already under fire for allegedly using Signals

18
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 3>dish fair military attack plans in Yemen. The administration has

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 3>said nothing that Hegseth shared was classified. We also know

20
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 3>his wife, Jennifer, former Fox News producer, was among those

21
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 3>on a signal thread discussing the attack plans, and in

22
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 3>recent days, multiple aids to Secretary Hegseth have left, been

23
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 3>fired or reassigned amid a leak investigation, with one describing

24
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 3>the Pentagon as total chaos.

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Meig Seth has blamed disgruntled former employees with what he

26
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>calls axes to grind for going public with information about

27
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>the inner workings of the Pentagon. President Trump calling on

28
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure peace in Ukraine. This

29
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>comes hours after the Kremlin launched a deadly attack on

30
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine's most populated city.

31
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 4>President trumpun social media, sending a sharp message to Russian

32
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 4>President Vladimir Putin. The president writing quote, I am not

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 4>happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev. Not necessary and

34
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 4>very bad timing. Vladimir stop. At least nine people were

35
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 4>killed and dozens more were injured in an overnight Russian

36
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 4>attack on Kiev. Just yesterday, President Trump told reporters he

37
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 4>believed Russia was ready to make a deal to end

38
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>the war and indicate it he could be meeting with

39
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Putin soon. Karen Travers ABC News, the White House.

40
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>And yesterday the President blamed Vladimir Zelenski for prolonging the

41
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>war by pushing back against a peace deal put forth

42
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>by the United States. That deal would have ceeded some

43
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>territory to Russia, including Russian occupied Crimea and At eleven

44
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>oh two, Pope Francis still lying in state inside Saint

45
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Peter's Basilica this hour, The Vatican says more than sixty

46
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>thousand people have already filed past his coffin as people

47
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>pay their final respects. Meantime, speculation is swirling about who

48
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>will be his successor. Here CBS's seth don't.

49
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>John Allen is the editor of Crux, a news site

50
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>specializing in the Vatican. Is it too early to know

51
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>if there are front runners?

52
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>It is never too early to talk about whether or

53
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 3>not there are front runners.

54
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>In keeping continuity with Pope Francis's ministry, Allen says one

55
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>bet would be the Vatican's number two.

56
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 3>Cardinal Pietro paral and Italian, currently the Vatican Secretary of State.

57
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>He's a tested top diplomat.

58
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>The Pope's funeral is set for Saturday at the Vatican

59
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of the afternoon. There is a chance

60
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>we might be seeing a couple of showers. I am

61
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>taking a look at the radar and seeing a couple

62
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>of them popping up in parts of the Berkshires and

63
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 2>western Massachusetts. So we'll keep an eye and see if

64
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>those make their way over here toward the Boston area.

65
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Otherwise we should be seeing a mix of sun and clouds.

66
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>We have a high near sixty five in Boston and

67
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>by the coast, seventy to seventy five Inland, so not

68
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>too shabby, i'd say. Otherwise, if you can dodge those

69
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>showers for tonight partly to mostly cloudy, mild a shower,

70
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>it cannot be ruled out, especially north and west. We

71
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>have alone near fifty five tonight and partial sunshine tomorrow

72
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>to wrap up the work week. Sixty eight downtown, mid

73
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>seventies north and west. Starting off the weekend, mostly cloudy

74
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>and breezy, a couple of showers moving through in a

75
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 2>thunderstorm as well, and we've got a high near sixty five,

76
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>sixty one in Methuin right now, sixty two in Westborough,

77
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>sixty two as well in Easton and in Boston at

78
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>eleven Oho, five Sun and Clouds and fifty nine degrees.

79
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Boston mayoral challenger Josh Kraft now receiving an endorsement from

80
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>another deep pocketed donor. Here's wbz's Jim.

81
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 5>McKay, Chairman of New Balanced. Jim Davis, who's got a

82
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 5>long history as a Republican donor, is backing Joshkraft for

83
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 5>mayor of Boston with a one million dollar donation to

84
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>the Your City, Your Future super Pack. This isn't the

85
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 5>first time Davis has put money into mayoral races in

86
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 5>opposition of Meri Wu. He donated to other campaigns against

87
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 5>Michelle Woo in twenty twenty one. The pack Davis just

88
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 5>donated to also has received six figure donations from Robert

<v Speaker 5>Jim McKay WBZ Boston's news radio.

91
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>As of now, a handful of MBTA bus routes in

92
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the Boston area are fair free. Top officials at the

93
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>TEA say that is not sustainable. They do say, though,

94
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>if the entire bus network was fair free, that could

95
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>actually be advantageous. You report to Beacon Hill lawmakers Lindsay Heffernan,

96
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the chief of Policy and Strategic Planning at the TEE,

97
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>says this could end up leading to higher ridership. She

98
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>says many commuters paying fares or will pay fares once

99
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>they get to trains or a ferry. Accessibility is also

100
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a factor, as the TEA believes de Man would skyrocket

101
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>for the ride if there was no fare, and the

102
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Tea is required to offer that service free. If bus

103
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>service is free, not being said, Heffernan says, would cost

104
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>tens of millions of dollars every year. They would have

105
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to make sure a dedicated stream of cash is in

106
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 2>place to cover that cost. Police are out with yet

107
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 2>another scam warning, this one targeting the dating scene.

108
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Officials said, beware of prowlers disguising themselves with phony dating

109
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 6>or social media profiles, reeling in victims with love only

110
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 6>to get us hook line and sinker in a financial scam.

111
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 6>Officials say the fraudsters often poses members of the military

112
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 6>and often based overseas. The takeaway is, if it sounds

113
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 6>too good to be true, it probably is.

114
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>J Willett WBZ, Boston's news Radio. Before we take a

115
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 2>look at Bloomberg Business at eleven oh seven new research

116
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>suggesting some food additives could raise your risk of type

117
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 2>two diabetes.

118
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 7>By themselves, the food dies, artificial sweeteners, and emulsifiers don't

119
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 7>pose much of a threat, French researchers say the risks

120
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 7>arise when those additives are combined in ultra processed foods

121
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 7>like broths, salsas, margarine, and sodas. The researcher suggests you

122
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 7>avoid ultra processed foods as much as you can. Tuesday,

123
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 7>Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior called on the food
