13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 3>pneumonia on Tuesday, which basically means he has pneumonia in

14
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 3>both lungs according to the Vatican, and on Saturday, the

15
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Vatican said he was in critical condition after a respiratory crisis.

16
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 3>So as of Sunday he remained in critic condition, but

17
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 3>the Vatican said he was no longer in an acute

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 3>crisis or respiratory crisis.

<v Speaker 2>We pray for him every day, but obviously especially since.

25
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 4>He is so sick. Inside the cathedral, there are newspapers

26
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 4>and articles showcasing what this pope has done.

27
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 5>He's done a great job for the church, and hopefully he.

28
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Continuce to Father.

29
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 4>Tom Reese is a Jesuit priest and the senior analyst

30
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 4>at Religion News Service. He says Pope Francis will go

31
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 4>down as an historic figure.

32
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 5>He projected a pastoral, loving, compassionate vision.

33
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Pope Francis was elected Pope in twenty thirteen. We are

34
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>anticipating an update on his condition from the Vaticans sometime today.

35
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>We are your breaking news station, both here and streaming

36
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>on the new iHeartRadio app, and we do have breaking news.

37
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Two local sanctuary cities are now suing the Trump administration.

38
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea and Somerville are suing the federal government for trying

39
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>to force them to take part in the mass deportation efforts.

40
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Both cities argue the president's threat of taking away federal

41
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>funding for not complying and threatening to prosecute them for

42
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>not complying with immigration orders is a violation of their

43
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>constitutional rights, and they want a judge to block him

44
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and those executive orders on immigration and rule that they

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 1>are indeed unconstitutional. We've seen so many lawsuits. Let's talk

46
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 1>about the lawyers for federal workers. They're now taking legal

47
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>action against billionaire and presidential pal and advisor Elon Musk,

48
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>arguing that must call for workers to basically respond in

49
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>an email listing five things they actually accomplished on the

50
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>job last week or be fired is a violation of

51
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>the law. ABC's even Portinoy reports even members of the

52
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Trump White House are pushing back.

53
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 2>The email has sparked widespread confusion and angst to cross

54
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 2>the federal government, with several agency heads contradicting Elon Musk

55
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>telling workers not to comply with the directive. Musk, on

56
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>his ex account says those who don't take the email

57
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>seriously will quote soon be furthering their career elsewhere.

58
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>The NBI, State Department, Homeland Security, and the Pentagon all

59
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>told their employees don't respond to the email. The deadline

60
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to do so is tonight at midnight, So nice out.

61
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>We're looking at a high right now of forty two

62
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>in Brockton. The city of Brockton looking fine with some

63
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 1>brighter sunshine than Boston. Boston kind of has a haze

64
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>out there today, but it's still nicehy today forty six

65
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, and then tonight low thirty seven on the

66
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>warmer side, and even the lowest side will be above freezing.

67
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>No rain, maybe a couple of shours later tomorrow. But

68
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>how about this nearing fifty tomorrow, fifty one on when

69
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of sun Thursday in the fifties with

70
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of rain. How about that. City and

71
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood leaders in Boston are planning a meeting this week.

72
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>They want to address a spike in petty crimes in

73
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a very popular downtown area. Wbz's Jim McKay fills us.

74
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 6>In Boston has made many strides since we crawled out

75
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 6>of the doldrums of the pandemic, but total crime has

76
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 6>increases around the common feel.

77
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Like in the last part of two years. Thinks have changed.

78
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 6>Leslie says she takes the tea during the morning, but

79
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 6>when she works late, she dials up in uber I

80
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 6>don't feel fit on time.

81
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>She's not the only one, very dangerous.

82
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 6>Marissa works over at Tough's medical center, she says, the

83
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 6>younger people, that's who she's concerned.

84
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>About, especially for the Kisettajuaca.

85
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 6>The meeting with neighborhood and city leaders on Thursday will

86
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 6>be wide ranging, cutting down the rates of shoplifting and

87
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 6>other petty crimes.

88
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>The overall goal.

89
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 4>So we could do a little bit better.

90
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 6>I love that.

91
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:53.600

95
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>meanings to be extended forever now. The emergency rules adopted

96
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>during the height of the COVID pandemic, allowing local governing

97
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 1>boards and the state legislature and Beacon Hill to do

98
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>business remotely is going to expire at the end of

101
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>wave of layoffs and tear of threats, Apple is making

102
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>a big investment.

103
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 5>Tim Cook was at the White House last weekend, while

104
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 5>the Apple CEO was silent after his meeting with President Trump,

105
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Trump was not.

106
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 3>He's investing hundreds of billions of dollars.

107
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 5>I hope he's announced that Cook had not, But today

108
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 5>Apple confirms that it'll spend half a trillion dollars and

109
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.759
